Match Day Thread Derby v QPR

Yes within 3/4 weeks its all gone wrong?!!......we have injuries but we had them 2 months ago. Olly seems to have lost the plot since Forest and tonights selection was shocking without strikers...

 

I have a deep sense of foreboding about that game.

 

I have a foreboding about every game

 

Strangely enough I don't. I went to the Bristol City game convinced that a bet on half time draw and QPR win would be a good one and it was. Didn't bet as not a gambler!

 

I agree. Unless there's a damn good effort and display, and a win, I would fear for Olly after that game.

 

Sorry. Not City. Blades.

 

There's an ego amongst managers that leads them to believe they'll do better than their predecessor whatever the circumstances. And the salary of course!

 

Was a pre-winter vehicle service day with a pick-up after work (replaced starter motor with a used salvage one + winter tires insalled + oil & filter change), so a rare occasion when I didn't follow our match, and am now just catching up on the rather unsurprising scoreline. What has happened to us after beating the top 2 teams at home over a 3 day period? The goals have really dried up - perhaps we need to get Eze back for some fresh blood.

I note that the Chair stayed on the Bench......

As last time out, we once again leaked a goal in extra time just before the half-time break.

 

Gerry Francis has just become available.
Does anyone think he’d be better third time round?

 

Or even Pulis?... No, he's not that desperate...

 

When did we last score 5 goals home or away - good job by Fulham away from home - unlike our lot, they were obviously up for their match.

 

But unfortunately stayed here the entire match:-

I wonder why he still gets picked?

 

Certainly not this season. Derby were really poor, had their fans moaning at them after 20 minutes, but we still didn't ever look like scoring.

 

So your definition of a long time is 18 games.

I really hope we don’t sack him but that team selection was classic Holloway.

Mackie is our fourth best striker and that’s having never seen the kids. If he’s a winger he’s about our sixth best so just shouldn’t be starting as good a bloke as he is.

Still don’t know what Yeni is meant to do. A Hasselbaink gem that one and I think we spent about £1.5m on him.

I appreciate there were a few injuries but that simply wasn’t the best team we could have put out IMO. Just poor management.
