Good overall performance - listened on Player and we had some great chances, just needed a little luck.
Games like this happen - sometimes they happen at Wembley...

Apparently he wasn't up top on his own as we were playing 433...........anyway it's not his sole responsability to score, there are 9 others on the pitch to score as well......it's just that when we get within sight of goal we have no cutting edge.......
Fair enough. However we need a striker that will score 15 goals minimum. That is not Washington from what I've seen. League 1 is his level.
Just so disappointing to let it go so late. So so frustrating. Didn't come across on the radio like we were really fighting for it...is that a misrepresentation?
Appreciate what you are saying, but Washington was expected to be chipping in with goals and is failing to deliver on a constant basis in front of goal.
We really did not deserve that defeat....but we so need a striker.......that is the whole Cruz of the matter....We need to score goals
Don't disagree with you there Kerry about needing a striker but those 15 goals a season players don't grow on trees........with the exception of Austin tell me whose scored 15 goals a season for us in the the 10 seasons? Those type of players aren't out there and if they are they're not in our price bracket.......McGoldrick at Villa 12m, Rhodes at Boro 10m, Gestade at Villa 8m, Gayle at Toon 10m.......we have to look in Lge 1 as that's all we can afford nowadays, the lad Gregory at Millwall might be a good lad, but this is would be a step up and a risk......
Don't disagree with you Jammers, but a striker like Washington and Polter and Sylla need service from wide positions and Washington is better suited to playing behind a target man, worked well against Norwich, but then they had service that game......
Sod's law derby didn't do much but scored the important goal, shopido livened it up a bit when he came but that's about it.
As the stats show we were the better team in all respects bar the one that counts.
It's unfortunate that is our 4th loss on the spin and we really did not.deserve to lose. In fairness we didn't really deserve to win either.
More importantly, if Ollie can get them playing like that and build on it + strengthen in January then we will find 3 teams worse than us. Hopefully!

We didn't deserve to lose but we weren't exactly robbed, a 0-0 score line was what it seemed to be heading to. First half in particular was extremely dull and lacklustre.
Chery off for gladwin seemed bizarre despite it not being the formers best game. Shodipo looked bright when he came on. That's 1 goal in 4 games now. Worrying times ahead

Well that ended in disappointment. We did better in the second than we have in the last four games under Ollie. It's a shame that we didn't have anyone who looked like scoring though as others have already mentioned on this thread. It was one of those weird games in which we dominated for most of it but didn't do quite enough to win it. If it had finished 0-0 I'd have felt hard done by but would've been happy with that scoreline, but Derby did a smash and grab job on us and the end result felt like a reversal of the Wembley final.
It looked to me that we could've done better with their goal, Camara had too much time and space down our right and there should have been more pressure on him to prevent the cross. Ince had Lynch, Onuoha and Bidwell in close proximity and you'd have expected one of those three to have got to the ball before he did.
There are two areas that we urgently need to improve in, scoring is one and we desperately need to recruit someone who knows how to find the back of the net. The other is a midfielder who can control and dictate the pace of the game, add a bit of quality in the centre of the pitch and find that killer pass to open up the opposition. We don't need to find one of them as we already have him. Chery. Play him deeper with a minder next to him and he'll do that role for us. Holloway says that we have too many No.10's drop him back and play someone else there.
