Derby County v Blackpool Official Matchnight Thread 08.08.23

Fotmob seems to have presented our midfield and defence in random positions. Any report on the wing-backs and if we are playing them inverted?

A lot of these people who criticise Beesley wouldn't have a word said against Madine, a centre forward who rarely scored or assisted and couldn't keep up in open play because he couldn't run, and often got involved in unnecessary vendettas leading to bookings and sending offs. And he was injured a lot.
I'll take Beesley over the goal machine every time!!

Sorry, I have to disagree. Madine’s physical presence, mind games and don’t forget scoring against the nobbers in the championship- makes him alright by me.

No need to slag off either player. Show some loyalty and respect to your team maybe!

So, apart from those apparent 'deficiencies', would you say there were any negative aspects to his game as such?

Yep and it's only £4.50 . Drink a pint less and yuve got every game for a month. Far far better than the alternative which , rightly or wrongly , is nowt, zilch de nada

You're drinking in the wrong place if you pay £4.50 a pint, that said I you make a fair point.
 
Meanwhile, on the Derby forum…



Just watched the 2nd goal my god 😡 it’s so painful I could cry I feel sorry for every fan there tonight. If this carries on don’t expect big crowds and nostalgia. we have to look at least competitive but at the moment the best adjective is s**t



Solid booing now …



Just seen that second. Christ.

These howlers are at least a bit comical in a cup competition we don't really need to be in. Will be much less funny when it's Mason Bennett walking it into an empty net in the league on Saturday.



Too early for a next manager thread? Mick McCarthy on a one year deal to keep us up?

seriously though we played two sides relegated from the championship and it shows just how far we have to go (even with the changes tonight)

(Even reading the MM sarcasm sent a shiver up my spine)

I guess the positives were he had a nice tan and some people loved how he could waste time near the corner flag!
Not a favourite of mine!!!

My point exactly, plenty of good boozers in Derby, no need to drink expensive shite in the ground.

I think Mull was comparing what we charge for a pint to the cost per month of having every game live on an Internet device per month via Radio coverage.
Had to search out an old radio tonight to listen rather than Alexa FFS. 😀

So let's slag off ex players who played a whole season carrying horrible injuries and gave his all. He was a completely different sort of striker to Bees but he was bloody good, and I'm delighted Bees is doing great.

Yeah he was a striker that hardly ever scored or assisted thank fuck he's gone. This is my last ever post about the pedestrian goon.
I hope there are many positive posts to follow about Beesley.
 
We need a third to kill the game off! Always that 2-0 early in a game, dangerous score line feeling. COYP.
