I don't think we can complain of time-wasting tactics when we are so ponderous in possession when the ball is in play! We need to show some urgency.

Have to disagree. He's given it away a few times and look sloppy. Most of the team have to be fair but I'm not sure Rudoni's been our best player.

Also we only win when Wright is on his game - when he isn’t we look dire

We haven’t been great, but largely down to Derbys game plan which has been executed very well so far. They look very organised, but clearly very limited. Can still see us getting something from this as they tire.

Im not going to harsh Rudoni out on that mistake. It was daft but it happens.

Sheaf been a bit MIA so far, MVE having an untidy game, Sakamoto getting bullied, BTA anonymous, Wright snatched at one of our very small amount of chances.

Eccles and Binks trying to drive us forwards and Bobby T has had a good game so far defensively. Ponderous making passes out from the back though.

I wouldn’t be suprised if we still win as Derby look like they will just keep retreating but we are a pretty poor side

I thought that was really good, played well in an entertaining game. One mistake and unlucky not to be 3 or 4 up

Let’s not bring facts into it though as I’m sure what you have just said is accurate

Still frustrating as hell when linos seem to remain anonymous in decision making
Click to expand...
Fair enough I get it, I've had it many times before when I get dogs abuse for not flagging but because I have just had a word with the ref and he gives it or utilised the buzzer flag to indicate that there is a foul/something he needs to give/do.

But it's about perception which is the issue which I agree with, but it's just the way officiating is managed in my experience.

Agreed...with him and Saka out of position, we have absolutely nothing through the middle. Which is where they're weak

Or just swap Rudi for Sakamoto for 15 and see if there’s any improvement

Currently we have one central player playing as a wide man a wide man in the middle. I don’t get it

Switch to 4-3-3 ?

Bring on EMC and DaSilva , sub off Lati and BTA
Click to expand...
Not sure that's going to happen. The bench is very weak and obviously subs at half time can leave you having to end up putting youngsters on later on in the game, with any injury.

I think he may keep it the same, but move players about a bit.

I’ve said it before but twice since we’ve been back in this league they’ve started the season adding a realistic amount of time on them just give up about a third of the way through.

A player got booked for timewasting 3 times (the ref pointed to three separate occasions when booking him), there was a goal and injuries. Just mad

Honestly, why bother with Linos if they are purely decorative.
Click to expand...

They aren't decorative, it's a team effort. Linos make a lot more decisions than is realised from the stands and my personal opinion is that being a good lino is significantly harder than being in the middle. (Emphasis on being good!)

it's more to do with perceptions both on and off the field.

Explain?

The level of tolerance for anything is different for everybody. If the reason is for consistency then people don't understand subjectivity and should argue for everything to be done completely by VAR and have objective decisions.
Click to expand...

Because it’s an admission refs make up the rules to suit them and no one wants that. They want consistency. If the Lino spots a foul he should flag. The ref can’t be everywhere.

Two bang average sides. That goal was the only way either looked like scoring. If we give our heads a wobble at HT Derby are there for the taking.

This is very similar to many other games this year. I have been worried about everyone saying we are going to walk this. It's a shame it's so shit as we should be able to smash this lot, they look bad. They have also been nowhere near scoring apart from the silly error. We can get bak into this....

It’s hard to get goals in the past.

If we have more shots in the future we may get more goals though…
