Risky from Still that sub. If we contrive to lose this game (plenty of time) he'd surely have to be gone tonight. Blackburn growing in confidence with each passing sub.

You just knew it wasn't going to go in.

Nope. We'll give them one at some point.

Do our guys actually have shooting practise? We never hit the target.

Yes, imagine that. A keeper who can actually make saves! He's not the best. But he is compared to crisp packet hands.

Just the idea we might score 2 goals in a game seems beyond the team.

Might as well have put Bazunu upfront.

They are just a decent championship side. They know how to play in this league and how to play against us. Sit back and wait for the mistakes. Defend in numbers. We've got no idea how to break teams down.

It seems it's been years since we had a team that actually played football like other teams. So much passing it around and lumping it forward. Successive managers, different players. Why can't we just have a normal football team!?

I can only assume all the sideways and backward passing is because nobody upfront is showing for the ball or getting into space. Why else would we keep going back.

Since conceding the third we've completely given up. The whole team looks lost.

We are a team that rarely looks like scoring, is rarely able to score, and we need two goals in the next 22 mins.

Hah, I think so. But mid to lower half may be doable if we try hard.

This could get a lot worse. Bristol just sitting back and waiting for the mistakes and we are full of them. If we lose tonight and at the weekend, I can't see Still surviving.

Hopefully we can scrape a draw. But I their tails are up and it could get ugly.

You say that, but if we win the next two we're suddenly in amongst it. It can change very quickly. Even in the last promotion season we threw several games away with Russel Martins negative tactics resulting in inevitable equalisers..or even some cases late defeat. So, I've not Still not given up on him.

A number of times Derby have defended really well. But we just don't create enough of those moments.

Presently we seem content with just letting them attack and attack.

Damien Downs is really a training cone. Has offered absolutely nothing.

Macca saves. We need to wake up... really can't string a forward pass together.

For sure, but it's good he can actually turn on the ball. We don't seem to have many players comfortable doing that.

Fellows linking up play nicely. Putting in the effort.

Scienza must have picked up a knock. Why else take him off.

Is Martin still the manager? That's the kind of move he used to make.

Derby looking stronger. We're just messing about at the moment.
