Forsyth... same player that hauled back Philips to give away the free kick that for the winner at Loftus Road. Two fouls that time, with the ref pulling the play back for the first offence.
Some lifeline that turned out to be! At least we're keeping Derby behind us for 2nd place, assuming we can pick up some points ourselves at Ipswich and perhaps Burnley slip up at Yeovil?
I don't think I can watch anymore. The only positive is that Derby are getting some more confidence knocked out of them.
Chevanton who was here for 3 months and played about 5 mins and Hitchcock who scored in about 10 mins of playing time.
I was quoting Redknapp, that was his excuse for not playing 442 and why we wont play 442 in the future.
It looks to me as Leicester are champions unless they bring about their own downfall. They can play a fair bit & at pace but are also very well organised. A mixture of youth with experience.
Leicester's title to lose on the evidence of that, everyone else playing for 2nd.... Hope that focuses the minds tomorrow at Ipswich, 3 points please and a stylish performance wouldn't go amiss....
4-4 -2 of course also has its disadvantages but it’s no coincidence that the two team above us are both playing it. Also watch Leicester. There two front men run the line very well and squeeze the opposition very high up the pitch forcing mistakes. I haven't seen any team in our division working harder than them. Their midfield drive forward with the ball and with two front men, they always seem to have plenty of players in the box. They were very impressive tonight and just completely dismantled the form team in our division. Impressive.
Derby were sh1te, and won't beat Brighton next weekend either. Back to reality with a bump! Forest are probably more of a threat long term.
Well there goes Flyer's sure as hell assertion a few weeks ago that Derby were going to storm the league and win it at a canter. What now for our in-house oracle? Are Liverpool going to do the treble? Having to listen to that dimwit is bad enough but when he gets it wrong, as he invariably does, he just moves the goalposts and starts spouting another load of inane gibberish. I'd like to pin him down right now and have him agree that if we go up, he'll come on and hold his hands up like a man and admit he got it wrong. Because what he'll actually do in that event is claim that we only went up because Redknapp decided to do "what I was saying all along" or other such cop-outs. I wouldn't mind if it was a real footie fan giving us the benefits of his knowledge but for a clown that's only started following the game in the last couple of years, its a bit much to take really.
So leicester were good today...,? Didn't saw the match but still wondering that everybody her think leicester as champions already. Are they the new Barca or what is this all about? Now they think that they are invincible and next week some barnsley or doncaster will crash them back to the ground. Mark my words. They are not so good. We will beat Ipswich tomorrow and burnley will lose....
Hi Igor They're far from Barcelona but they are setup right and work incredibly hard for each other. Having watched the match, I think they just steamrolled poor Derby. Hard to tell exactly how good they were but they created a dozen really good chances and they could easily of had 5 or 6. I don't think they're any better than us but they are playing with an energy and fluidity that I haven't seen from us YET. I think old arry needs to buck up his ideas pretty quickly, as I think we've been found out with the system we're playing.
