Think a lot of fans decided the outcome of the season long ago and are feeding whatever confirmation bias they can to console themselves...Des is inexperienced therefore he's tactically inept, the performances are 'painful to watch', there is no tactics or style of play and the atmosphere is...
Some silliness spoken on the game so far. Far from perfect, but a disappointing draw against a side that largely cancelled us out isnt sacking worthy imo.
I think Des is getting less slack due to the view that he is inexperienced in the league. No way people would be asking for his head if he...
And you know what...that actually DID feel like two good teams going at it.
Some great performances, Tyler G, Leigh, Harris all strong for me, a few average ones...but overall a great controlled performance. A real mood lift.
Fair play Des. Have a kip.
The vibe around the game is definitely an odd one. It's the 'what could have been' with this one for me. 2/3 months ago this was a litmus test game, top of the table clash, to really test our Autos credentials.
Now it's hopeful to want a draw. We're not that far off it, points wise, but we are...
That we changed things at HT is good, and second half was clearly an improvement. But this has been a feature of Des term
As we know the Analyst is new in role (perhaps even not fully in role yet) so I'll guess we're lacking to set up correctly for teams, alongside the personnel issues...
Touch philosophical about last night. Fine margins etc.
It feels a bit done to death to say what the problems are but we are lacking pace and our paciest players are made of glass. First half Barnsley had levels they could go to, whilst we were chasing shadows.
Second half, we figured out how...
Ladapo is the only answer
Prolific at this level, recent promo on his CV, the sort of player we never sign, physical presence, link ups with Leigh/Edwards...
But...in Waldron we trust...
Rough night.
honestly though, Derby were the better side throughout the game and deserved the points, no complaints there. It seems early on that we perhaps had their number on counterattack but we were taking heavy attacking damage throughout both halves. It didn't look like two promotion...
