I just don't want to settle for entertaining lower mid-table football, right now it would be a huge improvement on last season but I want to strive for more as a club as well. We are traditionally a lower top flight club/ top half Championship club and I think there's still lots of room for improvement. Come on man we’d won 4 in a row before this game and clearly deserved to win, who is settling for lower mid table? If we keep playing like that we will only go one way and will no way finish bottom half. Got to say I enjoyed that game so much, it’s great to see the team really attack as a team and not 2 or 3 isolated players. We had so many players in support. Big shout out to Coulson, what a game he had. 3 Link to post Share on other sites

Downsouth 6,323 Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 I think the game falls into the "if only" catagory on reflection because no doubt had we have won many coud not argue about it not being deserved. Learn from it and be a bit more ruthless next time when the team is on top 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Big shout out to Coulson, what a game he had. I've said repeatedly that I enjoyed the game and it's a big improvement. I'm not happy to be in the bottom half and I still think there's more room for improvement. It's as simple as that, I'm allowed my own opinion aren't I? 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Old Codger 3,062 Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 If you are allowed your own opinion, you can't be married............... one last thought, ....did anyone else think officials had a fairly reasonable game in that they tried to keep game flowing by not blowing for every foul till end of possession and "playing advantage" where possible...definitely not perfect, but that attitude made a nice change from some of the whistle-happy guys we've had Link to post Share on other sites

I still get annoyed by the linesmen being unable to make their own minds up about who to give throw ins to. Link to post Share on other sites
BoroJake 2,345 Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 I think we’ve had quite a few good refs in our last few games. They’ve definitely been giving less ‘soft’ fouls which have made our games better to watch Link to post Share on other sites

Earlier in the season we had a great deal of draws and lost a few we really should have taken points but recently results have changed in our favour and more importantly, we look better. That said I think we can agree improvement can be seen in results and play but that does not mean we should settle for a mid/bottom of the table, although personally I had predicted a season mid table finish and would judge it a fair season. I’ll say one thing and that is, it would be a boring forum if we all agree with each other, so as long as it’s club related, not personnel or profanity laden then we take it or leave it. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
DevKWat 2,370 Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 All there is to say is look how many good chances we created in the game and should’ve finished it off relatively easily, both Derby goals were pretty much unstoppable and can’t remember them creating a good chance apart from that in the whole game. That’s the 1/100 game where those sort of shots for Derby go in. Link to post Share on other sites
BoroJake 2,345 Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 looking at the highlights I think Derby were very lucky they didn’t concede two penalties. The fletcher one a few minutes before the actual penalty could have definitely been called Link to post Share on other sites
OldManGravz 1,350 Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 This draw felt like a loss, which is testament to the way we have been playing lately. I wake up on game days genuinely excited again, something that hasnt really happened since Karanka was here 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Just seemed to go down like he’d been shot. I was actually surprised he wasn’t booked. I’ll have to see the highlights if it’s included. Link to post Share on other sites

It’s in the highlights on the MFC website though and it definitely looks like there is contact Link to post Share on other sites
