How many games have Derby lost in the second half this year?
Has anyone got breakdowns by time of score for each match. Just a thought but a few of the games i have seen recnetly involved Derby taking a lead into halftime only to be beaten heavily in the second half.
Just a thought but are the first team fit enough? |

I'd love to say i fully understand what you have just said there but i don't. I'll answer assuming what i think you said is what you said (excuse my ignorance if not) But surely a dynamic pack taht can compete at set piece and restarts is going to win you first phase ball, coupled with a strong back row to support the breakdown and win quick ball. I've seen your backs and they look quick and agile, just your pack don't seem to be giving them much good ball. There has to be a reason for this.
Note - I've just re-read my post and it looks like Brian Moore and Stuart Barnes have taught me a little something...... |

JJ, without first phase ball, it don't matter how fit you are - applies at M2E like it does in the Premiership.

Carling Opta stats might not be too far off the point.
Like i said, if anyone can get me the scoring times by game i will happily look through them and give you a bit of a snapshot.
Leagaulois - forward power could be taken the same way as fitness. Geoff Capes was never the best rugby player but he ripped up phone books like Offiah did defences. Power alone is no good without fitness.
I saw the Ilkeston game too, they had two breakaways to put them in front and their forward pack we a little large to say the least. That game was the best pack performance i've seen by Derby this season btw. |

Maybe we need to get some Carling Opta stats?

Wind a factor in S****horpe, Matlock, Hinckley but main factor in S****horpe, Mansfield, Hinckley was forward power. |

More spin than Steve Maclaren! I hear he is after a PR?
Balanced views are often the best so how many have we won and how many by half time????? |

well we were losing to Ilkeston and came back to win, beating matlock and lost (but strong wind). Not seen others but you may have a point JJ. |
