What Dougie thought about the game - Derby

Jamster26 wrote:With Freedmans policy on wanting to control posession, you'd thnk 4-5-1 would be the way to go. I just don't think Spearing, Pratley or Mark Davies are good enough in a 4-4-2. None are commanding enough. 4-5-1 with Holden, Kamara, Spearing, Lee, Eagles, would be much better.

If Holden comes back even 75% of the player he was, and Medo turns out to be the player Dougie claims he is we will have the players to play 4-4-2 successfully.

Unfortunately we're always going to get outfought in midfield with the likes of Eagles, Pratley, Mavies & Lee.

I didn't shout.

I'm saying shouting at the players .....or kicking them up the backside. That might get some extra effort for a game or two but it's not a fix.

Did Holden get any minutes last night?

None at all.

Freedman's just being an overly cautious wanker.

I'm not happy.

If holden came on and got injured.

"Why did he bring him back so soon!!!"

He wasn't in the reserves though, and he's played 10-15 mins in other games this season.

Shut up hipster.

He's been back two months, played in numerous reserve games aswell as 20 minutes against premiership opposition. Why can't he have 5-10 minutes away at derby.

There were more pressing changes to be made last night.

he does seem overly cautious with new signings and injured players, but the team is crying out now for the likes of wheather, holden etc as they are blooded players and can make a difference. Even Medo should be nearing some action now. if all players where fully fit (in dougies eyes!) and raring to go i think the 4231 would work great and we have the players to make a late surge up the table, albeit too late for a push for promotion now.

Medo has now moved from "not match fit" to "not mentally ready for the Championship".

this a player spurs almost paid £12m-£16m for not 12 months ago! Rubbish, if he can't do a job then why sign him. not a dig at you natasha, i just think smoe players need to be thrown in at the deepend now to salvage some pride more than anything!

I agree. Dougie claimed he's chased this player for two years - yet three weeks after signing him he can't get on our bench.

It smacks of the Sordell situation last season which cost us our PL place.

I reckon he must be addicted to twitter or something.

Sell him.

I have lost patience with Dougie and I don't think he is up to the job. I can't help thinking that I gave Megson my full support for too long and I was guilty of being a Coyle man for too long and now look at us. I'm sorry but Freedman out.

What pushed you over the edge?

I'm sick of managers saying, we're on the right track, were almost there, they wasn't a lot in it.

We go to games, we need to get on another track, because we're a million miles away.

Dusting themselves off should do the trick.

We've still got to give him ten games into next season IMO .


Unless we lose on Saturday , then sack the bastard!

I'm not mentally fit for the Champs either
