THE SUPER CLARETS vs Derby County - Match Thread

[Darnhill Claret]

Oh well.

[ecc]

Have Boro scored?

[BabylonClaret]

They are pretty industrial, the pitch is garbage. They have not much to offer but they're battling hard. We said it would be a rough one.

[IanMcL]

Series of corners them.

[JimmyRobbo]

Have Boro scored?

Not today.

[Casper2]

Some poor defending there

[Commy]

Have Boro scored?

Offside

[IanMcL]

Trafford flaps. Another corner them

[BabylonClaret]

Whooooooooooosh

[IanMcL]

Derby pressure

[JimmyRobbo]

Which team are fighting at which end of the table?

Come on lads, weather the storm.

[willsclarets]

It's not pretty, but Eustace sure knows how to make a poor side competitive

[IanMcL]

Now safely in Trafford's hands.

[Buxtonclaret]

Come on, Burnley!!

[Conroysleftfoot]

Following Coventry's example, high balls into the box.

[rosswallacefreekick]

Roberts is firmly becoming my favourite player; has Barnes been coaching him in the dark arts?

[ksrclaret]

Massively under the cosh there but Roberts using the dark arts to buy a breather.

[IanMcL]

Edwards losing concentration

[Bosscat]

Trafford flaps. Another corner them

Tbf Traff was blocked by their player backing into him Ian

Got to be tough

[IanMcL]

Half time

[BabylonClaret]

Haha... you'd struggle to tell who's top and bottom? Really? There's one team hammering it into the air every chance and one playing it around....

[JimmyRobbo]

Think I am ready for H-T, tbf.

Let's hope we pick up in 2nd 45.

[willsclarets]

Just launch it in the box there at the end. Zero point in a short pass.

[Murger]

The other half of the pitch looks in better nick.

[TPClaret]

What an horrible side. Hoof ball at its finest. Great defending from the aerial barrage

[tally]

maybe give Edwards a rest 2nd half and get Lyle on the left with jade on the right

[jojomk1]

Really disappointing from Edwards tonight, as on Sat
Show him on his right side and he produces very little

[TPClaret]

The other half of the pitch looks in better nick.

What I thought we are attacking the better half next

[RVclaret]

Horrible game as expected. At least we are kicking towards the end with some grass this half.

[Darnhill Claret]

Our short passing game has been poor for the last 20 mins. More concentration required. Especially down the touchline.

[JimmyRobbo]

Haha... you'd struggle to tell who's top and bottom? Really? There's one team hammering it into the air every chance and one playing it around....

We played it around quite well while getting beaten every week in the prem.

Takes all sorts to win games.

[dougcollins]

Flemming shows again that hes not a striker.

A low shot into either corner and we're one nil up. Made it too easy for the keeper.

[ksrclaret]

I’d definitely have Edwards off at HT. This isn’t really the game for him tonight, so save him for Norwich now.

[Bacchus]

Haha... you'd struggle to tell who's top and bottom? Really? There's one team hammering it into the air every chance and one playing it around....

Yeah that made me chuckle too...

[willsclarets]

It's up to us to find a solution. They're scrapping for their lives, I don't think they'll care how crap it looks! Always going to be a tough one this, hopefully we have a bit more edge 2nd half. Looks like we'll need a few subs with different ideas.

[chekhov]

Leeds have good goal disallowed for offside.

[jojomk1]

At least Blackburn are losing AGAIN

[JimmyRobbo]

DL scored 2nd but given offside. Looked on.

[Commy]

Leeds goal disallowed and he was well onside. Oh dear .

[Tricky Trevor]

I don’t mind them having a good 10mins. At least it gives SP something to sort out.

DL just robbed of a second by a false offside call. FB that let James get behind him for his goal was awful.

[Conroy92]

I'm gonna make a bold statement and say that this games is made for a Barnes winner

[BabylonClaret]

We played it around quite well while getting beaten every week in the prem.

Takes all sorts to win games.

True. But there's a bit of a gulf in class here and it's fairly obvious. I think they've set up well and caused a few problems but we've looked fairly co portable for most of that half.

We should be doing abut better with Europe ings though.

[tally]

swings and roundies

[Nonayforever]

We don't want to get sucked into a battle.
Need to keep our shape a bit better.

[TheOriginalLongsider]

Definitely onside!

[willsclarets]

Don't know why, and not much to base it on tbh, but I fancy Koleosho could do something for us this evening.

[Tribesmen]

Yer just need to get the ball into the box sooner , no panic as yet

[jojomk1]

They are bypassing the midfield with the long balls and we have lost our shape and style
Need to see more from Edwards in 2nd half otherwise it will need a change
