Derby County v Leeds United Match Thread

[Orange Box]

Didn't realise he was on loan. Good to hear he's doing well.

Been voted player of the month for December, not sure whether it’s club or league vote,

[The Subhuman]

Or Mahady

Maybe a touch too young, but looks a promising shot stopper.

Surprised Darlow has gotten away with it, very slow to react and if that were Perri everyone here, and Farke, would be calling him out. Their keeper would have saved that.

[Cjay]

None of the fringe players giving Farke a selection dilemma for the Fulham game.

In fairness Harrison, Gnonto and Piroe have barely played in 6 months

They aren't going to be sharp and full of confidence

[SG90]

I hope DCL, Aaronson, Stach and Struijk are not going to be brought on for a significant amount of time.

It happens every year and the club never learns.

[The Subhuman]

We should just do a scum and withdraw from the cups and let a non league team take our place

Or, as I said earlier, just play the 18's ..

[SG90]

Or, as I said earlier, just play the 18's ..

But that would mean Farke would have to give an academy player a chance

Should still be doing better, they’re experienced enough.

All it means is that we don't have even one top notch keeper at the club sadly.

[Orange Box]

I hope DF is roasting them right now. The lack of intensity is the issue. Ok, some of these out there aren’t PL standard, but this isn’t the PL. we should be walking this, statistically Derby are the most average team in the UK. 10 wins, ten losses. Goal difference = 0.

[CUSSIE01]

It maybe explains why Farke leaves his substitutions so late, no-one coming close to making an impression.

[Pullhard]

JJ for Bornauw
Bornauw looked injured after that big run he made just before halftime

[SG90]

And have stood out in the Championship

[Jammy 07]

Nothing wrong with the players we've got out there and we have enough to turn this around 2nd half.

[CHAPELALLMAN]

We had the same problem under Bielsa.

Bielsa and Farke have both tended to have their favourites, and a tendency to be stubborn about it.

Damn bananna skin............

Piroe.. Very poor, if he's the answer I'm not sure what the question is for replacing DCL. Should have been sold in the summer when his stock was high. This is apart from the pen which was poor in itself but can happen... Goalkeeper off the line which again is on the ref.

Nmecha.... Equally poor... Seems like Bambi at times with his balance/control. But on a free can't complain too much.

Harrison.... Dogs... How he still can't cross on a consistent basis (i.e. not over hit by some margin) while not under pressure as a professional footballer/winger on his dominant foot I've no idea. Not sure what his skill set is.... Doesn't look to be pressing like he used to either.

Defensively for their goal Gnonto ball watching zero reaction..... Still waiting for him to be worth the 30 million we were offered. Bornauw ball watching and didn't react creating the danger in the first place but decent recovery run. Darlow probably should have done better as he got a touch on it but low, hard and accurate even the best will get beaten by them.

Farke wanting a small squad.... Fine..... But they've got to be decent quality. We seem to hang onto players far too long until either their value or contracts run down.

Is okafor on the pitch?

Some abysmal transfers in the summer.... Probably say Dcl, bijol, Stach and Gudmundsson, Justin our only good signings with dcl/Justin (myself included) most being surprised they've stayed fit thus far. Not quite sure how we're at our psr ceiling with this squad. Bielsa's squad probably a fair bit better so kudo's from farke from getting what he has out of them in the prem. Very little beyond starting 11 (who also need to be improved) with a massive quality drop off after them....

Not fussed about the cup but would rather go out against better opposition and not hit squad confidence after Newcastle.

Could be, he sees them day in day out, we don’t.

Another injured CB.

And a professional footballer on 90K a week to boot...
