"We all hate Manning!"  You mean that guy who's scored one sixth of our goals this season?   I'm sick that Stewart is injured. Looked like hamstring... 2 months out? Just as it looked like we'd found our striker.

Stick him up front then. Manning's certainly not a left back. Crosses pouring in from his side.

[Convict Colony]

don't panic

I saw the super computer predict cov would win 5-0 today and us 4-1.

cov have won 5-0 so the next 3 goals are ours 

[Chris cooper]

Scienza looks very good … 

[tdmickey3]

Manning still on FFS, lots of unchallenged crosses coming in again... stupid

Shit officiating, but Manning should have stayed focused on the ball and not arguing with the official.

Generally though, once again after scoring we've been too passive. Just allowing Derby all the time in the world to pick out a cross.

Look more cohesive going forwards today, albeit not as much as when Stewart was on. Just a shame that Downs, who probably would have come on if he had shown any quality, just doesn't look up to it and Still clearly knows it now.

Re Downs - why even have him on the bench? I’d much rather have Robinson who has a chance of coming on and doing something.

No team is getting promoted with Bazunu failing to save anything and Manning failing to stop any crosses. Russell Martin realised that eventually, Still has realised 50% of it. Obvious to all of us

RM did not drop Bazunu. He got injured.

The only logic I can see is Still thought we’d have a comfortable win and that would be a good time to bring him on, no pressure to score, might bag one. 
 

Hasnt gone that way so far.

Same argument I've seen on here regarding Bazunu, 'but what about the save against Wrexham'. Forgetting the 50 shite goals he let in prior. Manning is a luxury player and a massive liability in this team.

[OttawaSaint]

Derby yet to win at home this season. 

We all know what happens next...

[Saint NL]

Scienza has that "most fouled player" award lined up for the season

[Saint Scott]

Good play scienza and manning. Poor finish 

[OttawaSaint]

Ooh great run Leo but he did the Che scuff!

[Saint_clark]

Scienza is dangerous. Need to get him running at players more often.

[Saint NL]

Unlucky Scienza again, he's lively

[Charlie Wayman]

Armstrong asleep there

[obelisk]

At least Scienza looks like he wants to win the game.

[RedArmy]

How has nobody played Armstrong in there ffs 

[benjii]

Derby lucky there. Could have been a red card.

[Saint Scott]

Clear cynical foul on Charles there from a booked derby player 

[Saint_clark]

Ref points to the ball that the Derby player did not touch in a million years. 

[Suhari]

C'mon Saints. I'm heading off to Nana Plaza unless you get your shit together.

[OttawaSaint]

Wtf!?! Clear foul on Charles. On a yellow too.

If we run at them second half I can see them picking up a couple of reds.

If we keep Manning on and keep letting crosses in we will concede a couple of goals

Same at Sheffield United, that worked out ok!

From cock ups to cock ups. Nice!

[Maggie May]

We’re so poor.

[Lee On Solent Saint]

Whose taking the draw now?

Yes but it is likely to be no points 

[OttawaSaint]

Ohhh phew!

[Saint Scott]

Poor defending from Jander, again. 

[Toussaint]

Scrappy crappy second half so far 

[Saint_clark]

Quarshie easily passed again. Real weakness of his when the ball is passed down his left hand side.

[Saint NL]

Close to being 2-1 down.

We need to change shape

[RedArmy]

Agyemang has been excellent for them today. We haven’t been able to cope with him at all. 

[Saint Scott]

Booked Travis with another foul

[Southner]

Hmm...not many inspirational photos to help spur the guys on. 

[Disco Stu]

Lacking a CF. Just like last season.

[tdmickey3]

Not good enough is it?

[obelisk]

A long ball from their 'keeper and we let it bounce. Luckily it's into the side netting.

[leeham_69]

I think in January we need to spend some cash on a genuine ball winning and holding centre forward. He doesn’t even need to score a bag, just give some purpose to our balls into the box.

Will will wait until they've scored to do that.

[Willo of Whiteley]

If we concede we aren’t getting back into it.

If we score I think we’ll get a couple more and the floodgates will open.

[Saint NL]

Jander and Charles have been anonymous since half time. Maybe time for Downes to come on and freshen things up

[BotleySaint]

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

[whelk]

Get Downs on

[Saint Scott]

Damion Downs coming on 😂

[Toussaint]

DD saves the day

Nope. Flashes of good stuff but 95% meh!

[Disco Stu]

Agyemang looks levels above Downs. How did our scouting department get this so wrong?

[BARCELONASAINT]

we are very average. Only player that looks decent is leo
