I would check players in to a hotel after a game and head back in the morning or head directly to the next location, keep travel to a minimum, train somewhere local on the Friday.
Yesterday was one of those bad days at the office where everyone didn't play their best. I can only remember Kone's header as a clear cut chance. We looked tired, out of sorts.
I think if Julien played a settled 11 it might help, too many changes for me. Play your best 11 and then deal with anything thrown at you.
Poor all round yesterday and last week but ultimately you have to look at the one person allowed to handle the ball in the penalty area, even more so the six yard box.
But as you say Dave this isn't the way Nardi plays, not one for physical contact.
All of our players had moved forward after Kone's header for the offside, which is the right thing to do. We were slow to react when the ball came back in.
There is an awful lot of 'leave it to someone else' with many of the goals we are conceding at the moment, yesterday and last week against Millwall.
The ball is in the air a long time landing in the six yard area.
A good keeper watches the ball and deals with it irrespective of who is around him. Take everybody out but deal with the ball.
How many times have we said the same thing?
i guess a keeper who both commands his area and is a good shot stopper is a rare and expensive commodity in The Championship. Nourry and co will be aware of Nardi's limitations and will deal with it.
I remember watching Man City a couple of seasons ago when they were 1-0 down. They spent the entire second half passing the ball around the penalty area, left to right, right to left just like us today.
There comes a point when you have to put the ball in the box, the danger area. Don't just float crosses in smack the ball in low from all angles, get a deflection. Derby are going to stay put.
Very disappointing, I really thought we would win today, carry on the away form. Nardi doing what Nardi does.
