Just got back from an exciting game... however we could still be playing and I doubt we would have scored, it was one of those days where both teams could have had 3 or 4 goals. Praise must be give for Derby who defended well and were it not for some woeful shooting and good saves from Flavs could have seen the match out in the first half.
Blues defended well but still lacked a cutting edge up front, Freddy was effective when given the ball but this was rare, and Bradbury found his gameplan stiffled by a strong Derby defence. Most of our threats came from midfield, especially JCR and Macca who both played well and had a number of chances...
Ratings:
Flavs - 7.5 - Excellent shotstopping, and no chance with the goal but drops 0.5 for poor distribution
Hammell - 8 - rock solid, great in the air and little got past him
Barrett - 7.5 - solid but was no where for the goal, helped in attack during the 2nd half
Clarke - 7.5 - caught out once in the 2nd half but was excellent in the air, only problem is when being run at with pace
Hunt - 7 - defended well and was switched on, but little support in attack and meant our attacks often came from the left hand side
Gower - 6 - quiet game and whilst defended well, no real supply or decent chances to note
Macca - 8 - Storming game, kept going to the death and whilst sometimes caught on the break, drove into the Derby defence and could have nicked a goal
Maher - 5.5 - Poorest game I have seen from him in a while, service and passing was dreadful
JCR - 8 MOTM - Top game from him, caused them a great deal of problems and could have scored in the first half... service was there and was more effective on the left wing
Bradbury - 6 - poor game as he was given no chance by Moore, no goal threat
Freddy - 6.5 - no service meant he couldn't get into the game, had a good chance saved and went close with 2 freekicks
Hooper - 6 - not really with it
Harrold - 6 - didn't really have much time to make an impact
Our lack of goals is still a worry, Freddy goes another game without a goal and our subs bench would scare Brentford, let alone Birmingham so come one Tilly, lets hope you have something up your sleeve because we through everything at Derby today but we still didn't look like goals would come
