Dan1234 1,048 Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 God I hate Derby the jammy tw#ts. A cross that flies in and then their dm turns into fricken Del Piero. Saville is still pants. Link to post Share on other sites
AnglianRed 6,229 Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 Well a point is still useful, but it does feel like a missed opportunity, given we were twice in the lead. I think if we'd taken our first half chances and killed the game off early, it would have been a different story. Boro bossed the first half and Derby were barely in the game. First 15-20 minutes of the 2nd half, the roles were reversed. After they equalised, Boro took a while to get going again, but after we got the penalty, we looked very much in control again. Last 10 minutes of matches seems to be a real weak point for Boro. We always look vulnerable and I'm always worried we'll concede. Hope Woody has a chat with the lads to work on their game management, so we can close more games out, instead of this happening. Overall a good performance, but paid the price for the few mistakes we did make. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Johnmfc81 902 Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 Just now, Brunners said: I'm sure CT will come on and find a way to absolve Fry of blame lol but that first goal is 100% his fault, what he was doing cocking around with it there I'll never know! Still, as far as performances go that was top, top class again. Keep playing like that and we'll move up the table comfortably, we're not gonna concede fluke crosses and 25 yard volleys every week. Agree he should of knocked it out for a throw. Ayala would of. Fry hasn't got the composure to play the ball like McNair or howson. Link to post Share on other sites
Jamie-H 1,322 Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 (edited) Definitely 2 points dropped there's no universe Derby deserved a point but then again neither did we against Forest away last month, I don't think we defended badly at all the only criticism was our midfield dropped too deep 2nd half or dove in needlessly but there's a bunch of positives there and there's more to come from our team than Derby's. We're not 5 points off the playoffs like we'd have been if we won so through that prism it's deflating but there's potential in that team definitely I thought Pears was very good it's underrated but his distribution is spot on he kicks it on the mark every time he was brave with the crosses again and he threw his feet out well to deny Waghorn. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
TeaCider24 12,401 Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 Should have buried them, we played well today and a point is frustrating. Two unstoppable equalisers, the first was so lucky. Rooney was completely anonymous, as I expected him to be. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Smoggydownsouth 1,621 Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 2 points dropped because were just lacking the killer edge that takes you from.midtable to playoffs. But Derby are horrific and the fat Granit Xhaka is also a waste of 100k week 3 Link to post Share on other sites
SmogDane 4,052 Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 So, AnglianRed... Have you reached the 4 minutes added time? 😄 Link to post Share on other sites
Brunners 7,952 Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 I suppose in the big picture it's a good thing that we're all disappointed with a point after playing Derby off the park at times. A month ago we'd have ripped someones arms off if they'd offered us a 2-2 Hopefully when he knocks off some more rust Roberts will be knocking chances like his first half effort in every time. 4 Link to post Share on other sites

If you'd suggested a 2-2 draw against them a few weeks ago, I wouldn't have believed you. All the wins have made me gready now! 2 Link to post Share on other sites
BoroJake 2,331 Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 Robert's looks some player. Also thought Nmecha did well when he came on. Wayne Rooney probably should have dropped another division based on his performance 2 Link to post Share on other sites

TAPOUT 361 Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 Must admit that even though it's 2 points dropped I don't really feel disappointed after that. Link to post Share on other sites
