Thats an excellent assessment Stuart, very much how i saw the game.
Its difficult to judge players when they are playing opposition from a higher level especially in the offensive phase of the game.
Excellent surmation Stuart. I thought we were outclassed by a very, very good looking Derby side. Throughout their team they ooze class and it showed in the end.
Really like the look of Edwards and I agree he will partner Diamond in defence. Delap is a class act, but as much as Knowles had a couple of good touches he still looks a little out of place. Palmer again, I agree is maturing into a good player.
Still have that nagging doubt at the back of my mind that we just do not have the goals in the squad. I know Billy wasn't available but Howe and Symes did not fill me with massive confidence and looking at the bench disappointingly Paterson is not there, when he should be!
Walsall will be another tough test. Hope Billy is back we need him.
Good comments guys, I too quite enjoyed it as a spectacle but not so much for the football, it was the good crowd
A game of football is a game of football regardless of what level each team plays at. Derby were better and the classier side. That said I liked the look of Hussy and Edwards both look like very capable additions. Howe needs to lose a few pounds and maybe up his fitness regime!
As for not scoring goals, it is a worry and I will totally agree with you BurtonBoy, if it was possible for GR to bring Paterson back into the squad I am sure it would be met with tumultuous agreement from the Burton hoards!
UTBs we'll batter Walsall
I do think that we have a team of good players who are good enough to mix at the top of league 2 football but for me GR and KS have got some work to do yet to get this team to gel. The goal side of things needs to be sorted, from what I have seen at Alfreton and Nuneaton , Hussy put the ball in the box over and over , but no one in the box to finish the job. Weir for me was missed last night because when he came on at Alfreton he was class and by far the best player on the pitch. I know Delap is saving his throws for the start of the season, but from what I have seen pre season , his throwing would put the fear of god into any defence, and If Billy kee finds form maybe we could have a season as good as the last.
Like I said we have a team of good players ,but there is some work to be done yet.
