Derby 2-0 Useless Aston Villa post match thread

He's had a great season. Did Carson have to make a save?

Not of any note, but we were the better team though

He made one very good save and was lucky to a defender on the line after being beaten by Snoddy's daisy cutter.

Sorry I remember that now, Snoddy should have buried it.

Didn't want Bruce when he came to B6 and despite his lucky streak to get us into the top 6, we are not going to get in the top 2 or stop in the top 6 with Bruce's management of the team.

Totally lacking any panache, this team is not going to score enough goals to be promoted and if they somehow were struck by lightening and we were, we'd be straight back down with this manager, his style of play and the squad he's assembled.

I love this lucky when we go on a good run but we lose 1 match and it's because Bruce is awful.

Saturday wasn't great but had Whelan not made a ridiculous error it would have been a different game (Bruce can't do anything if our midfielder does that). Even so had Snodgrass hit his shot with any sort of power then he'd have equalised just after half time, and then we had one cleared off the line.

Starting with no strikers was strange but Gabby and Hogan have only just came back from injury and Davis being ill means picking who to play up top was far from ideal and would have been a gamble whoever he picked.

But we never really win too many games convincingly, so I understand why people think he's a bit lucky when we have a winning streak. Wolves have been turning out some wins by the odd goal recently, but they also play some great stuff and score lots of goals. We're so far behind that, we just don't score enough goals to push us towards the top two. His record against the top teams in the league also confirms this for me.

If Bruce can do nothing to fix things when we go a goal behind (irrespective of how that goal is conceded) then what is the point of paying him a weekly wage that many people on here make in a year?  If Snodgrass can't volley a ball properly why aren't our coaches working on it in training? I'd give him the 'excuse' of no strikers if his solution had been anything other than sticking a midfielder up front and crossing his fingers.  He's known that Davis was struggling for weeks, not working on another way of playing that lets the attacking midfielders function in a way that can cover things if Davis is injured is poor planning.

Poor planning sums up everything Bruce does really, getting from week to week by beating the poor teams and trying not to lose to the good ones can get you so far, but eventually you get found out.

Oh dear maybe you need to read what I said again we came out after half time and could have equalised had Snodgrass put any power in the shot (was that down to Bruce) and we'd had one cleared off the line (was it down to Bruce that it didn't cross the line).

You really need to take those anti Bruce blinkers off but from someone who has said he didn't want Bruce because of the way he gains his success I doubt that will ever happen.

This is so fucking tedious.

Just saying, like.

Erm, the Snodgrass shot was the one cleared off the line.

I spent the afternoon consulting  NF C 15-100, the French electricity wiring regulations. I then rewired our bedroom to add 6 plugs. I completely forgot about the game. I wasn't shocked at the result though.

I am scratching my head thinking  why does BE needs 6 more plugs in his bedroom and it has helped me to take my mind off the game.

First of all apologies to The Edge for not writing sockets. To be fair, English is now my second language.

You can never have too many sockets (unless you  have more than 12 on one 16A circuit with 2.5mm wires) I put 3 sockets on each side of the bed. 2 phone chargers, 2 lamps, an alarm clock, one free for another device.

Indeed it is, especially seeing as he's now repeated the bold bit 3 times despite me telling him who actually wrote that.

At least he did not acuse you of buying up the bar after the mighty rams won.

Number of outlets is irrelevant. Radial or Ring main is more relevant protected by an Rccd. I've been an electrician for 20 years. UTV

Yes but despite your experience, French domestic housebuilding and renovation regulations do stipulate a maximum of 12 sockets on one circuit with 2.5mm section (or 8 on 1.5mm section since 2015).

Say that again, but slowly this time.

Grealish was excellent; a shame some of the other players can't put some of Jack's gluey stuff on their feet.

Does anyone know what's happened to Callum O'Hare? Bearing in mind the alternatives at Derby, I would have started him, as I really rate him for his skill and attitude.
