Good first half. Max immense today. Holding the ball up, winning free kicks and a great goal.

We need to be careful second half. They will go for it.

Hamer needs to leave set pieces to James

Good first half max playing well,frustrating soon as we go ahead we drop so deep

I don't understand why we regularly stop and check, then the ball ends up with our CB's/Wilson, then we give the ball away and under immediate pressure.

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

I don't get why we've dropped so deep and defending our box again. It's inviting Derby on to us. Roberts is getting the ball in dangerous positions. Kazim-Richards is getting on the ball 20 yards from goal instead of 35 and our midfield is stretched so we're not winning as many 2nd balls as we were in the first 15 mins.

1-0 up so it will be pre planned

Hamer needs to leave set pieces to James

Our crosses and first time balls into the box are fucking dog shit.

Hardly ever clears the first defender.

 

[cc84cov]

A quick striker would destroy derby today a slow high line,very dangerous,we’re giving away too many set pieces again,I think we need another you can just see roberts beating mccallum all day long

 

[Londonccfcfan]

Kelly and Dabo aren’t anything like 100% doesn’t bode well for Godden coming on.

Dabo...looking tired...already...we need to make sure we freshen it up this time Robins!!! It takes him a few games to get his full fitness back.

Biamou is having a good game but immense again is hyperbole

O hare has been immense - absolutely dominating the game

More so Fankaty today for me. looks sluggish when the ball gets goal side of him. Glad he isn't up against Roberts today. Been pleased with osti defending the back post against Clarke at set pieces (CK Richards should have been carded for that aerial nudge on Ostigard - dangerous)

 

[Sky_Blue_Dreamer]

Started well, got the goal and looked dangerous, then been dropping back more and more since inviting them into the game. Had chances from set pieces we've unsurpringly squandered (though so have they) and have made errors at the back that should've been capitalised on (but for once we scored off an opposition error). We've looked capable of hitting them on the break but offside discipline is terrible.

They look slow at the back so hopefully will see Walker and Godden later on to try and make the most of that, even though Max has been doing well.

Need to push up again second half and push for more goals.

 

[no_loyalty]

Excellent first half, Max really working hard and running the channels well, midfield well on top.

 

[cc84cov]

Problem with 1 up front I think mate it’s either retain possession going backwards or force it long

 

[Skybluefaz]

Going too long too quick as that half went on. Biamou good finish after more good work by O'Hare. Need O'Hare and Hamer closer to Biamou though.

 

[Paxman II]

Good half. Not managed to create very much but we got the break and scored. Derby coming back in it a bit more. Not very dangerous but they like possession like us. Have to keep pressing against them as the best form of defence and keep this work rate going. Kelly much better today. overall well deserved lead. Max doing particularly well today. Doing what he has been asked to do and a great take and finish btw. Sense their CB does not like it and he is on a yellow. Just feel we may need another one if we are to win.

 

[stay_up_skyblues]

Our crosses and first time balls into the box are fucking dog shit.

Haven’t we had three headers on goal from balls in to the box?

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

O hare has been immense - absolutely dominating the game

Certainly off the ball

 

[jordan210]

Need to keep doing what we are doing but push up a bit. No dropping back and trying to defend. Need to keep attacking as like others have said Derbys back line is slow.

Other results look good at the momen

 

[lifeskyblue]

So far so good...max took goal well. Playing some near football. Most worried about sitting bit deep and giving away a number of free kicks near box

We just need to stop the needless fouls in silly positions Hamer is soooooo Gullible & naive at times

 

[ccfcchris]

Brilliant goal

A Grendel special.

 

[Esoterica]

Nerves, innit. Probably not the gameplan.

It's not intentional, they've just grown into the game.

It's never been easier to get a message to your players than it is BCD though and we have a 34 year old centre back who also should know better. McFadz is part of the problem, he is at his happiest heading a cross away inside his own 6 yard box when he should be leading the defence out. Hope Robins get the message through at HT or it's going to be a very long 2nd half in another game that is there for the taking.

 

[cc84cov]

Another mistake another goal for us high press on this pitch works

 

[Deleted member 7943]

Ultimately every chance they had came from our own avoidable individual errors

 

[clint van damme]

Kazim-Richards is getting on the ball 20 yards from goal instead of 35 and our midfield is stretched so we're not winning as many 2nd balls as we were in the first 15 mins.

confidence I think.

 

[shmmeee]

Credit to Max so far. Aside from that one trademark “dribble from their area to the halfway line and pass to a CB” and a couple of offsides he’s looked a match for the Derby defence today. Made much smarter choices and staying central and looking more dangerous.

 

[Sky_Blue_Dreamer]

Good first half. Max immense today. Holding the ball up, winning free kicks and a great goal.

Need the discpline to hit them on the break without being caught offside. They look slow. Looks like a situation made for walker if O'hare and hamer can play him in.

 

[stupot07]

Scoreline wise, a great half, but performance wise a mixed bag. Great finish by Biamou who is having a great game but apart from capitalising on Derbys mistake we have actually created very little bar a couple of 50p headers from set pieces.

Derby have come back into the game, and with 5 defenders and 3 defensive midfielders we have dropped too deep.

Got to stop giving away silly freekicks, and have to start supporting Biamou and O'Hare more.

I think we will struggle to keep o hare - clubs will be looking at him - he’s head and shoulders above everyone else here

Roberts was breaking towards the box. You take that yellow.

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

O hare has been immense - absolutely dominating the game

They both had a good first half

 

[Londonccfcfan]

Can anyone remember the last time Hamer beat the first man from a free kick?

Yeah the 15 free headers Ostigard and others havnt scored from.

 

[Magwitch1]

We need to up our game second half Derby having too much midfield possession and will re-group I’m sure we will get more chances as the game stretches, got to take them.

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

His energy is unbelievable and then you watch other teams and they’re all like that.
