Derby County v Aston Villa Match Thread - K.O 5:30pm

[CJ]

Poor shot by Ayew

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Fuck off, Ayew. Pathetic.

[Jimbo]

Any half decent manager will know we lose concentration and fitness in the second half. 

[pauliewalnuts]

I'm glad you've all found a new scapegoat means that Westwood and Bacuna aren't getting quite the amount of slagging off they normally do.

For me Gardner and Westwood as a pair have been far better than the 3 that derby have in there and I don't really understand why you all feel the need to rip into one of our players all game.

Scapegoat, how original.

Can you describe it any other way when gardner was decided as the villain of the piece before kick off and the performance hasn't really had any effect on changing that because people only see the mistakes?

Lowest pass accuracy of the outfield players with the exception of Bacuna, 72% (versus 90% for Westwood for example). I'm not suggesting that he needs to be put in the stocks and pelted with rotten tomatoes for that, but to suggest he's not really having a huge impact on the game doesn't strike me as the most outlandish of claims.

[PaulWinch again]

Low percentage daft decision by Ayew.

[ciggiesnbeer]

Kozak playing the invisible Gestede role.

[Hampshire Villa]

we really need to concentrate whilst Derby have this spell.

[KRS]

Derby closing down and getting stuck in now. Need to get a grip in midfield.

home teams always get 10/15 mins after HT

Yes, lots of ways. Go on, use 'fickle' for a lazy put down full house.

The word I was to use does begin with f and usually gets paired with another but you carry on trying to be clever, I'll judge Gardner based on how he's playing not on having already decided he's not good enough.

[JUAN PABLO]

shit FK

[pauliewalnuts]

Ridden out the storm here?

[andyh]

We didn't on Tuesday ;-)
Maybe 5.

[CJ]

Given away by Gardner completely unnecessarily

[Risso]

Go on then Paul, where would we be without better fans than you?
