For most of the match last night I thought we played pretty predictably, with the slow build up from the back/possession style. We didn't seem to be able to attack quickly from the back, which Derby did, and other teams have against us this season at the Amex.
We still need to mix up our styles of play, and break quickly occasionally, because we do have the players to do it and hurt the opposition.
Hopefully, a change of tactics in the 2nd leg, with a "go for it" attitude rather than a defensive attitude!
I don't see how you could interpret last night's efforts as a "defensive attitude". We had far more shots than them, and 5 on target as opposed to their one. We also had two (or three) good penalty shouts turned down, one of which was in front of me in the first half and looked pretty nailed on.
