LETS RAM IT UP THE RAMS (and Rooney )

[The Blobster]

Derby have shown some good form recently picking up points against Brentford and Stoke , they have yet to win at home this season ĺets hope that continues to be the case after Wednesdays game.
I think our form and the confidence given from our derby victory will see us edge home in a close encounter. COYJB don't let us down !

Yes, Rooney will surely have watched our last early kick off game. Shouldn't think he's the most defensive orientated manager in the league, and our Cardiff game will give him food for thought, and think he'll field a predominantly defensive side. If we can maintain that one touch passing game I think we'll produce some set piece situations around the box and even the possibility of a penalty.

A bizarre statistic for this game given where they are positioned in the table - Derby are one of only three Championship clubs to be unbeaten in the last five games (the others being Coventry and Brentford). Admittedly it's one win and four draws but it's something to cause concern.

I take your point @Victoria Swan , If we can maintain our one touch passing game I think we will have the ability to open them up at the back.
Their goal tally is rubbish Scored 8.... conceded 22, an average of almost score 1 concede 3.

No concern. They have scored 8 goals in 18 games, and conceded 22. They are impotent. We have to score one goal, and we win this game.

After last night’s games we need to win today to cement 3rd in the table. Clubs are starting to string our. Bournemouth and Norwich are keeping their sprint forward going. We need to stay in touch with them. Reading v Watford is a mixed bag. Reading wins they would join us as one those keeping up. A draw is probably the best outcome for us.

This is the time when Cooper and his squad should show their mettle and professionalism. That great win at Cardiff must not be thrown away by losing points against a struggling team. I see this game as a statement of intent to our rivals - that we are not going to go away, that we are in fact a team to be reckoned with and going to be right in the mix at the end of the season. We are highly capable of beating Derby and have to do so to maintain our challenge at the top. COYS!!

One down in four minutes.
Time to see what we're made of now.

 

[ivoralljack]

Atrocious defending. They were all asleep at the back. Need at least 2 to win now. Sluggish start by us.

 

[ivoralljack]

Derby hit the post and playing what football there is. We are tentative, sloppy and slow, hitting long balls up to Lowe. Remind me, which team is in 22nd position? Looks like us!!

 

[Jackflash]

They're giving us the runaround in the first 20 mins. wIth a passing game and just hit the post.

 

[Jackflash]

Two nil, and deserved.

 

[Jackflash]

We're finding it difficult to get out of our own half. And when we do we give the ball away. ATM we've increased their goal tally by 25%

 

[ivoralljack]

A horrible non-performance by our lot. Derby are doing to us what we did to Cardiff. We can't cope with their press or urgency and are not even in the game. We are being played off the park and have no answers whatsoever. There's no fight, no pace to our game and they all look half asleep. Quite frankly so far it's been an utter disgrace and they all look like they've knocked off early for the Xmas break. Dreadful and they should be ashamed.

Can't get my regular stream from SwansTVLive for today's match (not even using the VPN for a dark market) and can't find any other stream -- thank God from the sound of it!

 

[Jackflash]

Now they've just hit the bar, they could easily be 4 up. H/T

 

[CroJack]

A team that has scored 8 goals in 18 games plays its best half of the season, scores 2 (deserved to lead by 4). Lol.

 

[Victoria Swan]

Thanks (I think!) @CroJack .

I'm not sure I can be bothered to comment on that farce given our lot of shysters are not even bothering to play There's absolutely nothing good whatsoever to write about. I hope that Cooper is giving them hell in the dressing room; they deserve nothing less. Kick the three worst players off at the break (although they're all as bad as each other) and stick on subs who will at least try and bring some intensity. Then Cooper can tell the rest that there will be wholesale changes for the next game. We are playing at Pride Park without the least semblance of pride.
