For me, the ball retention and dominance, and the fact we didn’t lose.
Anyone else see anything else specific ?
This is a positive thread remember. |  |

Derby, a relegation battle rival, dropped two points. |  |

Well we didn’t end up with Derby 2-0 win like last time. I must be in the minority here but I think Martin is on track with his project. Ok the table doesn’t reflect well but nothing two wins in a row won’t put right. Glass half full here ðŸ‘🻠|  | | |

Most of the players are playing slightly better up to the opposition penalty area which is where the improvements all break down.
But there is still no consistency in the improvements. |  | | |

We dominated possession and territory. We kept a clean sheet. We had a lot of shots, if only 2 on target. Hamer looked solid and good under pressure, good also with the ball at his feet. Piroe worked hard
The only real negative are, we didn't really look like scoring and we lack pace when we get to the last third of the pitch, the latter contributing to the former.
Yes I've been a bit critical more recently but most of that is frustration because if there is another negative it's that Martin persists with Cullen but won't give Whttaker a fair crack, in my opinion. | |

We got a well deserved point away from home against a team that by rights should be comfortably mid table. We had total control of the game.
Even last year under Cooper when we were knocking around in the top 6 I think we'd have been quite happy with that. | | | |

I am encouraged can't think of too many teams apart from the top sides in the PL dominating possession like we did today.
We could of easily nicked it a decent away point.
Give me this over Cooperball any day of the week.
Just need to move the ball a bit quicker and get more pace in the side.
This season is all about trying to improve and we will. [Post edited 2 Oct 2021 21:37]

The problem is the midfield two, it has to be either Downes or Grimes with fit Walsh, which he clearly isn’t. He would have got us the points today. | |

Yes agree on Cullen and Whittaker why he has not had a look in since the hatrick is baffling.
I would like to see players playing in their true positions but I am optimistic for the future. | |

I watched the game with a Derby commentary team , they were quite flattering about us and felt that in the first half they were lucky not to have conceded, those thoughts naturally changed during the first 20 of the second but again we looked the more likely to go on and win. I was quite impressed by our sharp and crisp passing and that excluded areas in our final 3rd but throughout the remainder of the pitch . we lacked pace breaking the lines and the final ball at times was poor with no understanding of where the receiving player was but overall a better than expected result against aside who over the years we've struggled against . | |

A clean sheet.
Some good football played.
Good performances again from Patterson and Downes.
Missing key players who make a difference in the final third.
A reasonable result going into another international break.
Onwards and upwards. | |

The basic building blocks are there. We're 75% of the way to being a good side. The return of Obafemi and Ntcham will obviously make a difference.
Just need to be more aggressive around the penalty area. |  |

Our dominance of the ball, especially in the first half, was exceptional, Bidwell should have scored which would have given us a well deserved lead.
Hamer’s performance was another positive for me, thought he was excellent. |  | | |

Cullen works hard but why is he being used as an attacking midfielder? It puzzles me because he's shown no talent for that role, no eye for a killer pass or the ability to waltz past defenders.
Another positive for me though, maybe a very big one (as long as OHL isn't right and Martin isn't full of hot air anyway!) is what Martin says about the next transfer window. He reckons we have players telling their agents to approach us, players who, seeing us play think they'd enjoy it here. If we can pick up the right players in January, good players who really want to be here, it can only be good.
It probably means some players leaving too but that's the way of things. There is no point in hanging on to players we won't be using.
Personally, I'd rather we weren't using wing backs like wingers and get 2 proper wingers in! Imagine Sinclair and Dyer in this team! | |

Cullen was brought on to replace the only goal scorer we have.
I work hard but I wouldn’t pick me to play.
To insult Whittaker like this turns my stomach but the hatred is towards me for pointing this out.
Yes it does hurt but attack the right people. | |

I think Cullens performances have put Whittaker in a very strong position for more game time, | |

The only positive is Cullen clearly being not worthy of a shirt.He is barely League 1 standard. Hard work is what many players do .He is not alone. He has a tap in that the subbed Piroe would have buried.
Cullen should have been loaned out not Joseph who was our first signing of the new season.The lad dumped uncermoniously and Whittaker is suffering this indignity.Coming on in the 89th minute. | |

Do you think that the Club will spend even more money on new players?
I don't think we have any players left that would generate the cash needed to make a difference. | | | |

Grimes holds us back 90% of the time IMO, should never be captain either, I think we would be much better if he had gone, hope he doesn't sign a new contract and goes next summer even though we'll miss out on a fee, it'll be worth it in the long run. |  |

I think the majority of us would like to see Cullen succeed being a local lad unfortunately doesn't look like its going to happen.
Thought we played well Saturday plus I had my 1st away in yonks.
Great day out would of loved a last minute winner to have rounded it off. |  | | |

Yes, I think most of us want Cullen to succeed, like most of us want Martin to succeed. Cullenn looks like falling short though, sadly. Maybe he'll be a late developer. Martin sees something in him though so lets hope the boss is right! | |

Think I’ve seen the light and found a positive thingy.
Hamer is ,to me,now very good and Benda too .
It does baffled one though why an abject coward like Woodman was seen as pre eminent at keeper when Hamer and Benda are infinitely more brave and positive | |
