Why do they constantly send our defenders up for a free kick and then play short. Bloody infuriating.

This youth and kid narrative needs to stop bar O'Neal and Edwards, every player on that pitch has played at least one/two seasons of men's football, Beckles, Pratley, Moncur, James, Simpson are all very seasoned

I was just thinking we could be at full strength but if you have a dodgy keeper then we would still probably be losing .

Our old mate Ebou Adams is enjoying himself against us again. Another game it's a shame we didn't get to see him up against El Miz. Our other CMs just aren't anywhere near the same standard.

That guy who is playing up front for us the last couple of games, is it April fools ?

Poor lad offers nothing. Completely out of his depth.

I know he's only a kid, but he is so out of his depth that it's not funny. No way Piggot could be worse.

Adams seems to always meet us when we're at our weakest . He's been lucky against us in that regard . He was always going to impress this afternoon without El-Miz up against him . Show's the importance to try and sign El-Miz permanently or on loan again next season . If we're not able to sign players of his calibre in the Summer then I think we're in for a really tough season next season .

Some think Brown is up to that level but when we play the better class midfielders the gap in quality becomes apparent

He just needs to sprint in the right direction.

But you need 11 against 11 . It's a team game and we're not at full strength .

And shoot . Even an 18 year old with no experience offers more than Pigott . Pigott has shot his bolt and needs to be moved on .

We have nobody up front who can hold the ball up. It just keeps coming back.

Brynn needs dropping for his own sake I think, not a dig
On current form is Brynn better than Howes ?
You gotta feel sorry for Howes, not even given a game in the dead rubber matches at end of the season when his counterpart is throwing in a goal a game regularly.

I agree . Half decent versatile squad player but that's it .

Are we attacking at all? Sounds as though it's relentless onw way traffic from Derby.

Interesting to see us not having a lot of the ball. It’s what you come to expect but Derby are head and shoulders above us we are miles away. We’re not really set up to constantly defend

Edwards and Moncur just miles off it. I feel sorry for some of the lads as 7 or 8 are playing ok. You can’t carry people in a game like this. Brynn poor too.

Apart from the two goals, Derby havent threatened our goal at all, however they look a class above us.
Pratts working his socks off, but the rest of the midfield is non existent
If we could pull a goal back early in the second half, its game on. They'll get right nervous then

Maybe because they know they needn’t get out of second gear
