Horsham will be fancying their chances big time if we put in a performance similar to this second half showing down there.
Bad management by Collins. Should've got a loan in for 6 months to cover Connell, we had the funds. Can't just drop in an entirely new defence and expect miracles either
This is comical. Looking forward to Collins being dour at the post match interview explaining how we played well in phases of the game and how we have to take our chances.
Spot on RH...its a big ask and we are also missing Robert's in goal. We've been out fought today and Derby have exposed our weaknesses
Simple truth is we are a bang average Division 1 side who will beat the poorest teams and lose to the better ones. We’ll finish mid division and be quite thankful for that! If we find a diamond we’ll sell him to keep the wolves from the door. That’s Barnsley FC .
But whoever he picks..are just not good enough.. we didn't start to pickup last season till McCarthy and Cundy got injuries and the lad from Stoke came in.. then we got even better with Bobby Thomas later on.. I'll reserve judgement on Shepherd yet.. but all rest are no up to it
We look poor from back to front. Defence is leaking goals, panicking when they need to stay calm and being idle when they need to act. Midfield is just poor, headless chickens who have no shape. Forwards, couldn't hit a barn door. But the worst thing, their fight and desire. There is none. I haven't seen a single display of aggression. We just turn up and hope the other team is cr*p. Collins out I'm afraid.
I can accept losing but we shouldn't be looking this disjointed with the quality of players we have. Collins needs to get a grip and come up with a formation that gets the best out of our players and links them together otherwise he's gonna come under serious pressure when he's not developing any players to be sold.. I bet Derby can't believe how easy they've had it today.
All opinions but for me the footballs far too negative even against Horsham. Unorganised. If we're under the ccosh he doesn't change it or wait till its too late. We have a good side of individuals for this league when we come up against the weaker teams in the division the quality comes through and we win against the better sides we can't compete when on paper we should be at least competing.
Yea imho they did it in a different way...by playing high press high tempo passing and moving quick. Derby look well today but the physicality has been more apparent...they aren't as slick as the sides you mentined.
O'Keeffe started off well, but has been absolutely atrocious recently. Responsible for all 3 goals today, albeit the penalty was exceptionally harsh.
I actually wonder if it's him or him above that dictates how we play. You know the one who doesn't like play off side because we don't get offers for our players
