Derby had won by this point (against guess who) but only had 6 points and wouldn't get another point until 23rd December (against guess who :lol:

 

 

 

They should've beaten us as well in that home game.

1/3 of the season gone and 7 points. We are on course for 20 points, but say 30 with a Howe improvement factor and January signings. Either way we are fucked. 

 

Looking forward to some great away days in the promotion season next year ?

Just back in from the game .

 

Dunno what to say , game obviously changed , we are so dopey and luckless but overall bad teams cause their own downfall.

 

We got a break with the pen and I just looked up to the skies and said give us a fucking break. We couldn’t hold on , they gave everything mind but I just curse our luck at times .

 

Gone , mind these were crap but that late Leeds goal was a killer we can ill afford as well. Effort yes to hold out for 80 mins but ultimately couldn’t hold on to another lead . Joelinton effort was phenomenal, Shelvey again great , rest a bit meh but under the circumstances hard to criticise this rag bag .

Joelinton - 6. Must have been watching a different game

 

 

 

Some mad ratings and comments.

 

Critical of Lewis for the goal because it came from his side.

Hear you

 

But it's not bad luck, or not getting the breaks or whatever, it's sustained poor performance from the same people match after match. 

 

Stick your hand into the fire ten times and it'll get burned 10 times out of 10, it's not a coincidence, it's (predictably) poor decisions and they need to stop immediately.

Martin Dubravka 7

A questionable moment which led to the equaliser but redeemed himself in stoppage time to deny Giannoulis. A tough night as he faced 14 shots from the visitors.

 

1. How is he rated above Joelinton? You know, that guy who was Man of the Match.

2. He didn’t face 14 shots. Norwich had 16 shots.

3. Only 6 were on target. How does Dubravka get credit for those off target?

It also wasn't Giannoulis with the shot at the end

Got to be Ryder that, I remember against Brentford he give none of the defence less than 6 and most got a 7.

After two years of basically not watching I'm starting to see that too. Players who I thought were alright aren't; players who I thought were class are probably very average. But I still think we're better then 20th.

This is why we shouldn’t be surprised that so many people stick up for Bruce. Having mates in the right places help but no way did we have 12/13th place squads on paper and then you factor in our injury issues. Bruce just happened to  rely on luck and not tactics, but if it keeps going for you, people will have to do more and more work to show why you aren’t doing a great job. Honestly didn’t get why people thought we were more than relegation battle material on paper.

I'd go: Dubravka 7, Manquillo 7, Fernandez 8, Schar 6, Lewis 7, Joelinton 8, Shelvey 8, Willock 5, ASM 5, Wilson 5

 

Probably give Dubravka a 5 (to me it's his fault for the goal), Manquillo a 6 and Shelvey a 7 also (as I thought second half he didn't have anywhere near the same impact as the first). Otherwise I would generally agree with the rest.

That’s why I said bad teams cause their own downfalls Midds

Thought Willock had a decent game like. 


 

Kinda disagree but hard to point a finger on any of them as sheer effort was their , they are just shit in the main that’s the crux of it l

Heading home now.

 

Was great to catch up with @Heron, and I’d like to say that no other club could generate an atmosphere like that tonight; not in the position we’re in. The Strawberry Corner didn’t stop all night and there were moments when the whole ground joined in. It really did bring a tear to the eye. Look at the bigger picture; our club is back. 

Have hope, we CAN stay up and if we don’t - let’s start again.

Not to mention that the teams of the past didn’t have our sheer spending power. Who knows if we can get quality to help in January, but Derby couldn’t exactly spend a huge amount to bail themselves out when they were stinking up the bottom of the table. Unique set of circumstances that could potentially enable us to be the first team to survive from such a position. 

 

 

All depends if anyone agrees to join. Gotta get the points against Burnley, steal a draw here or there. Keep it close so trying to get in some talent isn't impossible. You can always massively overpay on wages but that's not the best way but could be the only way to attract players if it looks super bleak on Jan 1.

They grafted their arses off like. Clark will hopefully not start another game. I was surprised at the boo's at the end and the stick Dubs got for not racing to hoof it down the pitch near the end.

Some of our fans really are wankers!

There was loads around me screaming for Newcastle to press, which is very difficult/difficult with 10 men..

Just a shame Howe hasn't really had any games to find out which players are best to fit his style and are usable, was thrown straight in at deep end. Hopefully now is starting to get it together.
