[Great_Expectations]

Good positive start, followed by a phase of losing the initiative and sitting deep, finishing with some signs of intent.

Need to start the second half on the front foot, especially as they look very weak at the back.

Dabo looks quite far from match sharpness, there’s been a few examples of that. Not convinced Kelly is either.

Hamer having another off day, but probably his worst so far. Would keep him on for now though as not sure Allen/Shipley would add much based on their form and any other replacement would mean a change in shape. Maybe look to change around 60/65 if he hasn’t improved and based on the score/how we’re performing as a team.

Really hope we can go a game avoiding any unforced individual errors, we got away with the Wilson one, not sure we will again.

Biamou, COH, James, Kelly, McFadzean all very involved and looking good so far. Others are solid enough.

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

Agreed, he's a very vasuable asset for us... Staying up is the only way he stays

 

[Liquid Gold]

Mad that Villa let O’Hare go. We’d have had him on load again this year then he’d be worth something.

He does need to add the end product though. From our POV, keep him for another season, see him improve in that area, and we genuinely have our £8mil sale.

 

[Briles]

Think they will target hamer second half, nervous him on a yellow with 45 to play.

 

[Frostie]

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

Not from free kicks taken by Hamer for weeks.

I'm glad we're varying the set pieces at least today but that one right on half-time has been typical of his delivery lately.

 

[Liquid Gold]

It wouldn’t be fair for us to have him in league 1

 

[Londonccfcfan]

They both had a good first half

Robins totally justifying the selection of max ahead of Walker.

Max really putting himself about and is a nuisance. There's no way he can keep it up. Hope Walker puts in same effort when not if he comes on.

 

[Deleted member 7943]

I think sitting deep has come about because we were getting shaky with so many silly passes and avoidable set pieces..

It's purely a confidence thing, win this it would do us the world of good in so many ways

The players know this game means alot

 

[Covcraig@bury]

Playing good , just don’t spoil it by bringing Walker on !

Sam Maccallum even took a corner today..which was poor. It seems we are poorly executing the Near post flick on.

Definitely, his work rate is phenomenal, but 2 goals in 36 games is a poor return for a number 10. If we stay up I think we'll keep him for another season, and if he can add goals next season then his price tag will rocket.

Has anyone ever seen a harder working player than O'Hare? Incredible energy levels and attitude to keep going. I thought he'd be a bit of show pony when we got him, but definitely my player of the season so far.

I would imagine we may see sheaf at some point if sheaf don’t come on today at some points you would be wondering what’s going on,I can see Shipley coming on over sheaf

Yeah, obviously thinks we can target them on an inswinger, let's hope so!

Allen seems the obvious replacement, is he even on the bench haven't looked lol

 

[ccfc92]

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

On goal?

I remember Hyam's going wide from 5 yards?

 

[Paxman II]

Would like to see Godden on when Derby tire and spaces start opening up if they are chasing the game. It's definately a match of who will change first. Tatics matter today as they look quite well matched sides. Do not like kazim Richards looking free too often. McCallum gets drawn out from his left back position too often. Going to be a tense second half unless we get another I feel. Other results going our way....lets not fcuk this up.

 

[Esoterica]

Hope we reset and come out flying for the 2nd half. Need to show Derby they're going to have to work their fucking nuts off if they want get back in this game as opposed to sitting back and trying to be better than anything they can create. They are awful at the back and 2 of them already on yellows, think they'd absolutely collapse if we scored again.

agreed, playing behind a real strikeforce would see him move to the next level.

it's all about opinions but there's been a few on here and social media slating him, really marks someone out as a fucking idiot if they come out with that nonsense.

 

[Londonccfcfan]

Allen for Hamer.
Biamou for Walker
Pask for Dabo.

Changes I'd like to see at around 70

I’m glad you’re not the manager

 

[shmmeee]

Godden and Walker on for O’Hare and Max last twenty minutes. Let them run themselves into the ground. Then Sheaf on for whoever tires in the midfield (probably Kelly)

banged the missus yet or you on the cans and peperamis today?

I bet Shipley comes on over sheaf

 

[Hutch11]

To be fair that could apply to a great many on here

 

[hamil99]

Keep the set pieces down and they won't score. They don't seem to dangerous from open play.

 

[shmmeee]

I bet Shipley comes on over sheaf

If he does it’ll mean we are chasing a goal. So I hope not.

Even at 1-0 I can see it being Shipley over sheaf

 

[shmmeee]

Yeah but that’s because you’ve got a weird thing about Sheaf.

 

[Alkhen]

Really hope we don't need to put Godden on. Have a bad feeling it be rushing him

 

[skyblues83]

Bham losing

 

[Liquid Gold]

James gamesmanship to force the yellow
