We need to get back on track and not lose that confidence that has served us so well until now. COYB.

Purely going on Derby highlights yesturday, our defence are certainly going to have to be wary of the pace in certain areas. It's a Warne side, so It's going to be a tough battle and can see a few cards in this game.

Dreading it to be fair. Relegated team with good players, manager who is Norwich fan who also has a history of out-smarting us. I feel we may have a repeat of yesterday.

On the other side of it we do tend to raise it a bit when a fancied team are in town. Hopefully an early goal leads to an exciting match.

In terms of history, our previous managers weren’t exactly tactical geniuses so I think that KM will be a totally different proposition.

But, we do have to get back to winning ways.

Edit. If Derby were that good they wouldn’t have already lost 4 matches. They are a L1 team which are beatable.

Without seeing this as an ANTI KM reply.... tactically what has KM shown so far that is differerent from the others?

That's a genuine question of what makes you feel tactically we'll be ok as we've struggled to adapt to teams not setting up as we expected etc and the fresh like for like subs have been what has helped us rather than seeing a change in tactics....

I get this, he just stands there with his arms crossed when were churning the same old stuff out that's not working, I don't sit close to the dugouts he maybe shouting directions but it dosent look like it,
My take I hope is right he trusts his players to break down the opposition or work it out for them selves,
Only changes which generally work are our subs, just fresher legs,
Tactically he's ok, not a genius yet,

It was only last week at Morecambe where he had to switch a couple of players positionally and adjust how we moved the ball in response to how they pressed rather than sat off. We came back to lead before any sub was made so you can jot that one down.

Strange post really as 'struggling to adapt to teams setting up differently' hasn't been a thing for us at all and any team will take a bit of time to adjust when the opposition throws a curveball with a surprise tactical plan.

Just because I don't care doesn't mean I don't understand.

Fair reply and noted and good point regarding Morecambe.

The starting comment I think we will have to agree to disagree. I feel we take to long to adapt to it on occasions. Absolutely other teams will have that same issue, and I can't speak for other sides. But we do seem ourselves to struggle in the opening periods and it's something we need improve on imo.

Last 4 games we've scored 1 goal in the first half.

I don't think it is massive, yet; at least not from the playing/performance pov. We are second in the league having lost two games in fourteen, one of those defeats being away against the (so far) outstanding rival who are either a cut above the rest or are enjoying the purplest of purple patches. And a draw would have been judged a fair result.

As for the other defeat. We were the fancied team losing out unluckily against a determined, resolute opponent. Now and then this happens... Manchester City lost against Norwich not so long ago; Palace beat Liverpool and you can think of your own examples.

Our trajectory is upward and one undeserved defeat does not alter that.

It would, however, be good to shake off the apparent jinx that seems to hang over us when we are live on the telly. Maybe from that point of view it is a bigger game.

The main difference with the way we play compared to other League 1 sides is the two 10s. Lincoln did counter this by adjusting their set up. However we still had over 30 attempts on goal, so you could say that we found ways through them. We constantly try to get wide men behind defences, and a lot of our patterns of play have this aim.

What tactics other than the we play would people like to see? Surely not HOOOOOF ?

It was Edmundson a couple of weeks ago, Burns' turn again before that.

And Davis the week before that.*

He's gradually working his way around the first team.

Having seen Derby up close recently and Ipswich at Home Park it should be a walk in the park for you guys.

Derby are ponderous, slow and fluked their way to a half time lead over us before we murdered them in the 2nd half. They’ve nothing that should scare you.

As someone who watched a lot of Colchester Utd in the 1980s, I can tell you that Friday night football is fine when you win, but doubly horrible when you lose. The whole of Saturday from the moment you wake up has a great big hole in it.

"We have to get back to winning ways". We've won three of the last four. Yesterday we had thirty-odd goal attempts.

I hope that KMcK leaves things pretty much as they are. The odd tweak here and there depending on the opposition otherwise carry on our present excellent run. One unlucky defeat should not be the signal to ditch the plan.

Nah just another home game, so another game we should win.

If these players want it then hopefully they'll go out there and batter the Rams. Mick was the king of sneaking 1-0 nils against the odds when teams like Derby were spending other peoples' money like Tory MPs. Time to ensure we don't get that done to us now.
