Keep it tight at the start, frustrate their fans and BANG!

Gnahoua is a surprise! Good run from him in the first minute.

[Vinny]

Derek knows and picks the team. I think I'd rather see Jacob Bedeau ahead of Farrend, Ryan Cooney ahead of Love (with Rippers Cpt)

Ordinarily, I'd agree, but last week, Love was superb and certainly doesn't deserve to be dropped. Also, Rawson has been winning everything in the air, so again, deserves to keep the shirt for the time being.

Defending too deep for my liking, clearances coming straight back at us. Cole on his own up front, and Derby's possession is mainly in our own half.

[AndyReifman]

We've looked okay. Defending deep but one thing I've appreciated is that we don't seem to be immediately hoofing it when we win the ball back. I think it's allowing us to keep a bit more control.

[Keith]

What a shame! Shaw turned away from their keeper, so easy was the catch, but he somehow fumbled it. If Shaw had still been looking at the ball, he'd have got that! Dodgy keeper???

[Keith]

Ref is giving them everything. We've been pulled back/down a few times and got nothing, but their lads go down, free-kick every time.

[Keith]

Looked like a good tackle from Simeu, but it was a free-kick and a yellow card, so perhaps he didn't actually get the ball? Didn't argue, so perhaps correct. Good free-kick and 1-0

[Born again Bill]

Well that was our own doing with tackling that can only described as industrial !

[Keith]

We need Bolton, Ipswich & Bristol Rovers to get their arses in gear!

And Peterborough.

True, but if FGR catch us, we're probably down anyway.

Cole, on his own isn't working. It wasn't working previously.
Two up front has been working.

We're stuck in our own half.

FFS

Need a Ripley special.

[Keith]

3-0

Can we please go two up front and try to play a bit of football in the Derby half? We've lost the game, so let's go back to what was working previously.

Silly errors all over the pitch.

The penalty looked soft too. Not saying either were clearly wrong, but we've not had a 'soft' decision go our way. If Derby are getting 'soft' decisions, then we should get them too. Instead, we need to be kicked off the pitch before we get anything, while they just fall over.

[Born again Bill]

They have broken our spirit , helped along nicely by the ref

Agreed. We sat too deep in the first half. Nothing to lose now, give it a go and show them we can play.

[Keith]

Great save from Ripley, but a few moments earlier, their player did a bicycle kick in the penalty area, with Simeu turning away from the high boot... ...play on. But we did similar in the first half, for-kick to Derby. Either both were free-kicks, or neither. Instead, Derby got both decisions go their way.

[jbc.shrimp]

We had dropped into the zone but are back out, Cambridge dropping in.

[Keith]

That was a SUPERB tackle! He clearly got the ball. This ref needs to pull on a white shirt, as he's got them three assists already.

Goal difference getting a hammering again !
