[Alex Cheeseright]

The plan....run around, stay warm...go.
If I'm wrong, please let me know.

 

[uTurn]

Half time team talk:

 

[Blade In Flame]

These are shite but we're making them look like league leaders. The Three Stooges up front - BBD, Cannon and Bamford - have been absolutely useless. They're playing an emergency centre half who's never played there before. He's spent most of the first half reading the Racing Post and smoking a cigar.

 

[Alfiesdad]

Big changes needed at half time.Take your pick for who goes off.
Hamza, Olly, bbd, Chong and Cannon. Peck, Donovan and Seriki on.

 

[sportsmanblade]

Diaz and Chong back playing on wrong side compared to when there actually effective going down the lines and created goals. Chongs crossing is piss poor when he cuts in.

 

[Stevo71]

Yet another half to forget

 

[blackydog]

Ground looks half empty.

 

[Pittsburg Blade]

You could write an entire novel on how bad that was. When this team is bad it’s really bad.
Only Cooper and Burrows deserves any praise. The rest were dire.
Zero cohesion or understanding and they started to look scared.
It’s like the team regresses into a negative shell every other game.
Big changes needed at HT.

 

[originaltrueblade]

Need to take Cannon and Diaz off absolute shite get Peck and Donovan on at HT not after 80 minutes

 

[ancientblade]

Been watching the blades since 1970 and I cannot remember seeing such a shit show as that 1st half and I’ve seen a lot of shit shows get it sorted Wilder

he cant sort it because hes been finished as a top manager at this level were going nowhere and as a massive wilder fan 10 years ago it saddens me we need change quickly

 

[Steve.C]

If he doesn’t change this until his predictable 60th minute this is going to get toxic. I’ve never seen a half like that ever!

 

[sportsmanblade]

We have got to move ball faster these are a lot more physical than us. We are getting bullied.

 

[ancientblade]

Ground looks half empty.

is it any suprise watching this rubbish

 

[SLB]

So pedestrian, bring Donovan on.

No point, he'll only get a sore neck.

 

[Esteban Cambiasso]

If cooper goes in January, these type of games turn into 4 0 losses .. completely unacceptable

 

[Champagneblade]

Diaz and Chong back playing on wrong side compared to when there actually effective going down the lines and created goals. Chongs crossing is piss poor when he cuts in.

It does feel at times that it is just as important for Chris to be able to say he was proved right than to actually do the right thing.

1. Tanganga played miles better than Hamza at right back, should have stayed there and Baptiste deployed at centre back.
2. Donovan should be starting instead of BBD.
3. After recent success, goals by Chong and assist by BBD, if they start, then they should both be starting on the conventional side, or at least be switching sides after 20 minutes of failure.

Tell me I’m wrong with these.

 

[CoatesyBlade]

Derby have been woeful all season… Wilder “hold my peroni!”

 

[The Crab]

You can't give him any further transfer windows. Regardless of how it ends today, get him gone.

More chance of me spending tonight with Margot Robbie

Ye i agree with number 3 i think that's all whats going a miss. BBD touch is better if hes on the right side Donavon is unlucky to not start but hes better off bench for change of pace when legs are tired.

 

[drblade]

no changes

Let me know how you get on!

 

[JayGreen17]

no changes

Does this surprise you

 

[Rufus T. Firefly]

To think we've freshened up our coaching staff to bring in new ideas.

 

[Blood Red]

Too many players playing on reputations. They need to step up and give some application.

 

[Thrice]

Making injury riddled worst team in the league look like Mourinho's Chelsea here. The owners have to see that this isn't working.

 

[drblade]

A wasted 10 minutes.

I don’t think they particularly give a shit about the situation to be honest, and I’m not being a twat by that either. Pretty blatant it’s “give it to Wilder, hope we don’t go down” cause this has been laughably shite. One win in 14 Derby.

 

[Blade In Flame]

BBD and Bamford blowing out of their arses, Cannon is his usual ineffective self, yet Donovan and One remain on the bench. Unbelievable!

 

[ChefYouKnighted1889]

Red for them probably still lose

 

[Sharp_as_a_Blade]

If we can't bring it back against 10 men we should just play the u21s
