[Jan Age]

Looks exactly as you would imagine with so many new players … disjointed ..

Massive gap in midfield of Derby step up

 

[fifty shades of blade]

Is that not handball?

 

[HarryHaslam]

Why did BBD not claim for that handball!!!

More to the point, its in front of the lino...fck.me

 

[drblade]

look so much better with Big Vini back

 

[Speedracer]

We are gonna lose this 2-1
It will be fine though cause Wilder is a gud un.

Our GOALSCORER will be Brewster

Think soon enough we will drop to 7th/8th.
We will finish 15th this season
Wilder will be fine though cause he’s a gud un.

Oh piss off will you!

 

[Enigmatic]

Some shocking pitches in this division.

 

[Jan Age]

Signs with cannon are that £11 million is over the odds…

Looks like if he doesn’t score he doesn’t offer much else

O’hare needs to come central and bring JRS or Brooks on

 

[Alex Cheeseright]

I can see why Derby are in a bad run of form when Osborn is your playmaker

 

[Jan Age]

Careless in possession

 

[paidsy]

Once again showing immense creativity today

 

[Alex Cheeseright]

Some shocking pitches in this division.

Just like the old Baseball Ground. Maybe not that bad, but by today's standards, poor pitch

 

[Alex Cheeseright]

Solid at the back, midfield looking better than the last few games. But the three upfront look like they just met this morning. Not gelling....yet

 

[Keen Blade]

No natural width there, and not enough talent in that team to play through the middle.
It's ok having three forwards on the pitch, but if they don't get the ball they're as much use as a chocolate teapot

What's formation - can't watch today - presume BBD LW & O'Hare RW ?
Brewster the 10 ?

 

[paidsy]

The recruitment at the top end is wrong once again. We could have 200 strikers but we don't create enough.

 

[Jan Age]

What's formation - can't watch today - presume BBD LW & O'Hare RW ?

Other way around

We look very slow and ponderous as usual and waiting for Derby to score before reacting

Not doing enough to win a game of football

 

[ITALIANO BLADE]

hi i hope your all ok,familys ok,today 1st feb 2025 we will be on fire new lads will shine ,saturday away match i predict 0.6 result we will be to good for the rams i recon tommy cannon hatrick,tyrese,diaz and clarke all score it will be a rout at derby today WE MIGHTY BLADES WILL WIN a huge lift for everyone when we get 3 points..utb..all the best from pasta italian kop blade,,.utb..the only badge crest i love and that matters is the great blades,

maybee ill change my prediction to a 0.2 win..

 

[BangorBlade]

Just seen Dunne left out of QPRs side this afternoon?????

 

[Keen Blade]

Solid at the back, midfield looking better than the last few games. But the three upfront look like they just met this morning. Not gelling....yet

Are we 433 then ?
O'Hare mf and Brewster Cannon BBD up front ?
Sounds weird

 

[drblade]

Poor so far

 

[Jan Age]

maybee ill change my prediction to a 0.2 win..

1-0 Derby this … way it’s going… they’ve dragged us down to their level and Wilders tactics all wrong agin

 

[Alex Cheeseright]

Do we really need 2 defensive midfielders against Derby County? We really muss Hamer.

Don't question the messiah. Playing for 1-0 every week is the masterplan of all masterplans.

[FinchleyBlade]

Yes, it's early, but so far all of our new signings look exactly how described in their 'views from'

Wilder and money is not a good combo.

 

[Alex Cheeseright]

We have spells, short but spells, where we look like a 2nd place team. Then we we look like a bottom placed team. Frustrating too say the least

We are anything but a promotion side

Don’t really need to go any further than your first 3 words do you really. Not even 1 and half games in, less than that for some of them. Nothing like giving them a chance

 

[Jan Age]

Here’s what should happen

Cannon
Brewster
BBD

Offf

TC
Brooks
JRS

On

O’hare central

And the board need to be asking questions if the manager …. Worse 135 minutes of football all season against teams in bottom 3 … for me they’ve been to hasty in signing him up to a new contract

If we are ambitious and won’t to go up and stay up he’s not the man… thanks for stabilising us but time to kick on.

 

[bartman]

OHare very poor at the moment with his passing and his first touch. Diaz seems to lackmatch sharpness which doesn't surprise me.
