Derby 5 Morecambe 0 LIVE THREAD

[Born again Bill]

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.

Terrible decision ! , ref sucking up to the bigger team again !

Why no changes by us. Give some of the other players a chance. Two players on yellow cards. Let's have a change please. This is showing the complete difference in the level of teams in this league.

[Keith]

Excellent fifth. Get Simeu & Gibson off before one of them gets a red card. Bring on someone to play up-front or, move Crowley up.

We're still letting Derby play in our half because we have no out-ball.

Stockton was the furthest forward Morecambe player, about 35 yards out. Ball hoofed clear of defence, over Stockton's head, and surprise, surprise, it came straight back at us.

Yes Derby are excellent, but we're just letting them attack, attack and attack again.

Their defence could start a card school to keep them occupied.

[Born again Bill]

Not attempting to even get out of our half now !

[Keith]

Wow! Would have been six, but their lad decided to clear the goal bound shot!

15 minutes left. How many more will they get?

STILL I ASK, WHY NO CHANGES BY US?

[dannymorc1]

At last!

You've got them now. Still sticking with that superb 'one up front' tactic that's working so well.

Triple subs by Derek AT LAST, But Crowley off?!

[jbc.shrimp]

Bad for goal difference but one bad result does not lose the league. Let's dust ourselves down and get back to playing attacking football. Still plenty of points to play for.

Quadruple !

[jbc.shrimp]

A bit late for subs !

[Born again Bill]

Burton beating Fleetwood , back into the mire !

[Keith]

This ten in defence, one up front tactic works so well.

Zero shots on target.

Why change what had been working so well? I'd rather we came to places like Derby and lost, but did so, trying to win, rather than just let them attack, attack and attack again. Okay, if we'd got to half-time, 0-0 then we could argue that it was the right tactic, but once we were losing, we could never equalise, if we can't get any shots on target in 90 minutes.

[Born again Bill]

Absolutely brilliant support right till the end , well done to the travelling fans !

[black morse]

We're lucky that most of the other results went OK for us.

[Keith]

Next week is HUGE for us. Hopefully back to two up front and attempting to win games again.

I actually think the Burton game went our way, as it really drags Fleetwood back in to the mix. Ipswich let us down. Bristol Rovers probably got enough points early on, to stay up, otherwise they would be a potential relegation side!

[Gone_Shrimping]

How did Arthur get on the starting sheet. Surely better players were on the bench.

Huge game at Fleetwood in 3 weeks. We need to take more than 800 there and beat them.

[P/T Indie]

I'm not sure Derek takes away games seriously. He sets up to limit the damage knowing we will prob loose anyway but then even when it starts going wrong there is no plan B he just keeps it the same and doesn't chase the game. Three subs late on pretty much like for like so no impact and kept the same tactics with one up front.

His plan was working in the first half we contained Derby well but then it all unraveled and he did nothing about it.

Donald Love was back to his usual self today and even saw Ripley and Simeu having ago at him.

Donald Love was back to his usual self today and even saw Ripley and Simeu having ago at him.

I agree Love was poor again (or, simply not good enough to be up against Derby) but I'm not sure Simeu had the right to have a go at him, as he didn't have a good game either, and he gave away the free kick that they scored from, and one penalty. Gibson struggled too. But, I think it was the case of, once again, allowing an excellent team to keep on and on attacking us, they were always going to concede eventually.

Hope Bedeau is fit again for next week, which is the really important game. We need to set up to attack, not defend.

I think Derek will know this is one we have to win and go for it.

If we’ve been setting up to limit the damage (which has resulted in 4-0 and 5-0 defeats) then I’d hate to see what would happen if we ‘went for it’

[Redalert1970]

Just got back to Blackpool after another poor away display (especially 2nd half)

Derby were very very good even without the refs help

We were well beaten and 5 0 flattered us it could easily have been 7 or 8

Next week is a massive game which we need to win in my opinion especially with sheff Wed and Peterbrough the two games straight after

One good thing about today was the fans who sang right to the end ...that is 1 of the reasons I love this club that I have supported for 42 yrs

Onwards and upwards let's see what next week brings
