Down we come with the decorations 23:13 - Jan 2 with 2381 views | textbackup | Say what you like about ME, but that 25/30 mins tonight is down to the manager and players. How often do we see teams down to 10 win a game through grit and hard work.. this lot and the man controlling them are fcked. In this, a decent season, we are two points better off than last year. Unbelievable really. | |

You can accuse this team of a lot of things but lack of commitment not one. If you are objective Mick has done a decent job on no budget over the past 5 years. | | | |

Both I’d say personally. | |

We were hardly on top before the red card but it could have been another Derby result without it, I guess. | |

Telling me that defending was commited to the cause? Lost little boys out there tonight | |

There was zero issue with effort and commitment tonight. And I can't think of a game this season where there has been an issue with them. The problem is rather that we make that effort too much part of our tactics. | |

Because we can't keep the ball, you can't keep inviting wave after wave of pressure and keep getting away with it.. | | | | Login to get fewer ads

I can’t even be bothered to argue over it. 2-1 3-1 fair enough, but 4-1, they’ve given up (IMO) | |

There was nothing gritty about our defending for their goals, 10 men or no 10 men. | |

That's my point. We need more composure if we're ever going to play the ball through midfield. By all means play quick and direct when we've got a team on the back foot but when we're constantly inviting pressure we need to keep the ball for a spell, win a throw in, slow it down etc just to shift the momentum. We at least need to do that more than we're doing now. | |

It didn't look like that watching the game. In fact the last goal came from a deflection as a couple of players threw themselves into a block. You're making a lazy assumption. | |

I reckon your baseline of what's a minimum effort has shifted too low. | | | |
