Derby County vs Brighton and Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

no advantage again, the ref does nothing.

 

[Miami Seagull]

These 2 legs have not been a surprise, to all but the most blue-tinted specs fan.

Before and during the playoffs, Derby have been a class above us (heading for their 4th victory over us in the one season), with a TEAM, playing as a TEAM, with clear tactics, forward thinking, and pace all over the team. Achieved without cheating on FFP like Forest & QPR. A lesson to TB and the Board that we can get there too with better planning of the composition of our squad.

If you look at the way football's been going at a higher level (Real M, Liverpool, S'ton, Man C - just 4 examples), and it's filtering down to forward thinking clubs like Derby, pace, youth, passing and creative attacking at speed ... it's the way forward. The slow likes of Ulloa and Andrews would never get into that Derby team. Sorry.

Some good points, but its not just the composition of the squad, its the formation, its the positivity of the play and the absolute lack of it at the vast majority of our games this season.

We wouldn't get much for any of our players after scouts watching this ha ha what a ****ing pathetic effortless load of shit

 

[Working class pride]

Upsons dreadful challenge in first game changed it all and two years running the players go on holiday after the first leg of the play offs. Still a very large section if our support will say "oh well never mind didn't they do well to get there".

 

[Brian Fantana]

I'm not convinced OG is the man to get us out of this division.

 

[carteater]

I can see them scoring 4 or 5 at this rate ffs

 

[Lower West Stander]

In fairness, we do have a makeshift defence against the top scorers in the division. Oscar can't be blamed for that

[zamham]

4-1 down and Oscar sticks Macca on the wing. Sums it all up really.

 

[The Wizard]

Shameful

 

[Brian Fantana]

Hope Derby get to the Premier League

I don't. I hope they get battered in the final.

oh i am sure a fair number won't see that as a excuse

 

[Northstander]

Fact is, we have no creativity

 

[Randsta]

Derby didn't finish 3rd by luck they showing what class outfit they are

 

[TrickyOne]

We're just static..end of!

 

[bhawoddy]

Can't wait for the excuses after this almighty shambles

 

[ruthers]

They've given up. Makes me so proud.

 

[Poppett63]

Fair to say that I am now looking forward to seeing Jon Richardson at the De La Warr tonight!

Derby are class but we look very ordinary

 

[Ernest]

2-0 down nothing to lose and still we can't attack
