Matchday Thread: Derby v Bristol Rovers

[macstheman]

and another spurt from Rovers

Their foreplay was good but our climax was better!

Its been a breath of fresh air. We’re trying to get the ball forward quickly all the time, even when its poor its better to watch us try to attack quickly rather than faffing about with it in our own final third

So your happier with those players who you were saying will be gone in January then?

Agreed

One consistent bad point is we lose possession directly or indirectly from around 90% of all throw ins

Call me mystic meg!! OK it was McGoldrick who got the hat trick, but Collins did score and we whupped them! Repent oh ye of little faith!

Good call ‘Mystic’. Didn’t see a hat trick coming from that particular source but who cares? Great result and good second half resilience. Very encouraging. Pity Hourihane will now be suspended, but a fine performance against a tough and in form side. Happy daze.

Interesting observation. Wonder why?

That result has IMO been coming, I thought the return of Collins would change things and it did, he cores and creates goals or distracts defenders and allows others to score.

I've not been one of the moaners since Warne's appointment, I can see what he is trying to do, suspension and injuries plus a lack of depth in the squad are hampering him and this was the guy's 8th game in charge with player she didn't bring in , so patience is required.

I stick with the prediction i made at the start of the season, we will get in the play offs, after that who knows, but that would be a bloody good result from this season!

No idea other than the manager doesn’t attach importance to them, and we’ve been rubbish under a succession of managers - made worse by the associated fact that we don’t defend one’s we giveaway seriously. That happened a couple of times today too.

Hmmm...so ‘a couple of times today’ we didn’t defend throw ins very well. You do know that we won today...and scored four...don’t you Mr. Happy?
