Derby vs Palace Bootleg Match Thread

Well played and if we had Willie Carson up front......

Green excellent

Feel alot better now ...

No, problems have not gone away but at least 12YO can look forward to a more pleasant weekend

Thought Green was outstanding in spite of being played out of position at right back

Ward was at fault for thier goal but he knew it and was excellent except for that blip.

Thought Barker put in some timely blocks as well although he clearly isnt properly fit.

Dont think I've ver seen us have quite so much possession - fully deserved point.

So ya know im a little pashed as the scots would say, but in a perverse sort of way I enjoyed that tonight, ward, how lucky are we to have him, green, does he want to go to the euro's, all the better for us, barker, captain personified, mason, when he gets that first goal, start the bidding, ball, start him, ben, take a break, jason, ditto, james bailey, don't we look better with him back, jeff, garth, prisking put in a shift, hate to say it but a howard type would have it in the onion bag for us tonight.

Can't help feeling that a different dug-out would have made a difference.

And its not the subs.

Green sounds like he's having a good game,

Bob and whats the betting Tom Glick lets him go in the summer because he is one of the biggest earners at the club, and we got him from Doncaster? If they do let him go, there are a lot of my mates who are season ticket holders will not be renewing, because enough is enough! Just like you Bob, I thought Green had a good game tonight, especially the second half when he was pushing forward. I thought Ward was Mr Consistency again, always looked a threat. Bryson and Hendrick ran their socks off.

if only we had two quality strikers... everybody can see it a mile off why the **** cant GSE !!!!

yet again, same as tuesday, somebody to put the ball in the back of the net and we take 6pts sitting pretty in the top 6.... Im pretty sure if nige had the money he would go out and pay for a Mackail Smith, Le fondre, Sharp!

Fully deserved point, should have been 3. Paul Green absolutely brillient... his best performance in a Derby shirt for quite some time!

We went to the game tonight and while we were disappointing in the first half, I thought we were excellent in the second half and should have taken three points.

A great cross from Paul Green for the OG and he deserved to score at the death. One point though; I can understand us playing five across midfield to match them but in the fIrst half our midfield didn't have a clue as to how to support the loan striker. If my 16 year old daughter can see this how come they couldn't? Much better second half; well done Derby, UTR!

A potted history of our season in 90 minutes last night: complete garbage first half, no understanding, rabbits in headlights defending, and then a better second half, although with bags of midfield possession and little penetration.

I don't think the 4-5-1 is working: too many of the midfield passes are sideways because they can't find the striker. Priskin is trying hard, but he can't easily lay a ball off because he doesn't know where or midfielders will be.. They're TOO fluid, no shape, no discipline. Look at the equalizer last night; fantastic cross from Greeny but only Ball attacking it and he was NOT going to get there if the defender hadn't turned it into his own net: Ball was already grounded beyond the far post!

We'll take the point to stop the rot but we have to qualify it as a draw against a team with many changes who'd given their all for 120 mins 48 hours previously. It's a small step, but at least it's in the right direction.. Let's hope we can build on it.
