So, a great win and much needed but...........

[Hyperion]

In your opinion, is this the win we needed to jolt us into life for the rest of season or is it just covering up our shortfalls up front?

I am still miffed at not getting another man up front and hope it doesn't come back to haunt us. I think once Stephens settles down with Kayal again and we put in a few wins it could be a different outlook to some of the gloom recently

We scored a goal once we'd brought on our best striker. Murray on the pitch always gives us a chance.

As soon as he gets injured however, the team are in more trouble

Enjoy the win.

Just needed Stephens back with Kayal

Excellent, a much needed win and someone's first thought is to kick off a negative thread. Are you in a queue for a train and bored ?

 

[Driver8]

Derby signed about 15 strikers and have won one game and scored 3 goals.

We will get going again once we have our confidence back.

Huge boost of much needed confidence.
Upwards.

It could be. Last year, our terrible run of 5 league games without a goal (and 7 since winning) ended with a meh 1-0 win at Blackburn. That was the first of 20 games in which we achieved 45 points and scored 41 goals (with Hemed, Baldock and Wilson as our strike force).

Fortunate with the winner, but Huddersfield haven't won 5 and drawn 1 by being crap. So it's a satisfying result.

This thread arrives before one full of glutinous praise for the immense Lewis Dunk ?

We missed out on goal difference last year, we were 8 points? Off the top before today. We need to seriously go on a run AND hope the teams above us screw it up. It's early doors I know but fine margins and all that..

Reading is not your thing is it.

No, it's a dump

That's a mildly amusing come back.

It's early yet. You need to win games like today when your not playing great against a fairly good side. Doesn't matter how it's done. There will be times this year we click up top and destroy a team or 2 but that doesn't happen every week. Currently today was about 3 points in the bag and now we can concentrate on getting 3 more v Burton hopefully.

 

[Greg Bobkin]

No, it's a dump

Ha ha!

To be honest I would've been pleased with 0-0 tonight prior to kick-off, so I'm happy just to sit back and enjoy the win.

Yeah we might not have loads of strikers but we've got a midfield that has a lot of goals in it to help them out.

Lots of positives tonight, I'd rather focus on them.

You're welcome

 

[dangull]

Have to admit their goalie gifted us the win. Not complaining though

Agreed. Saturday was quite poor but winning ugly or luckily is also a sign of a good squad. Hopefully we can kick on now that Dale is back and we have Goldson, March and Hunemeier back very soon too

3 points greatly received
