To look like he's as good as the others?

I’m happy with that performance and particularly with the fact that after weeks of looking problematic, the midfield of Bird, Shinnie and Knight looked really good and much better balanced.
It wasn’t quite how I would have played it but fair play to Rooney for finally finding his best midfield!
Lawrence did well too and the central role suits him much better.
As usual the defence were good baring the lapse.
Baldock as I mentioned had a very mixed game. 
Looks much more positive, players willing to move knowing they might actually get the ball. Let’s build on this!

Coming from a club who have a significant number of fans regularly chant about someone being a sex offender, I think maybe we would probably do better to accept that all clubs has its idiots...

Fair comment
i would like to see him in behind richards instead of morrison as u know sibley will more likely stay higher up unlike morrison who drops deeper and ends up being a third deep lying mid and leaves us with an isolated front man 
one thing i do wonder is if ckr despite being our best forward is actually not much of a fit as to how rooney would ideally like to play
By brining in baldock and trying to use lawrence up there in his absence it suggests to me rooney would like a runner who can stretch the pitch vertically for us. Which would in turn give lawrence and co more space to operate in.
having an immobile front man who can make it stick but cant run in beyond means the opposition can squeeze our space and stifle our “creative” ( use that word loosly) players and we become a bit easy to play against as we have no out ball
 
 

They are small town bus company owners who didn't have a clue how to run a club the size of the Rangers. As far as I could tell they had no liquid capital (that they were willing to put in, anyway). I dont know much about Kirchner but if the only alternatives are the Easdales or Ashley, I'm in the American's corner! 

Sounds like we battled well, got the worst of the refereeing decisions (again) but we have to take chances when we are on top if we want to win games of football.

Oh ffs.....
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Sorry, burnt my chilli con carne following this thread.

Festy? 

Go back to the first half - Festy knocks it past the defender on halfway .. clear run to their box so the defender just grabs his arm and pulls him back for a professional foul - no booking...
The Byrne scenario was far less clear yet he cant fkin wait to send him off...ridiculous..

All to predictable, self destruct button activated once again. Harsh sending off but Byrne should not have gave the ref a decision to make.

The tactics are that our full backs - note: not wing backs - should be our most attacking wide players.
Poor tactic Wayne - with two aging defenders left as cover. Play 3 central defenders if you want Byrne, Buchanan/Forsyth to play so far forward.

Yes it poor from Byrne too, hes not a good defender
but that shot should not be going in from there 

If we had a good keeper we would be a lot closer to getting out the bottom 3.

Also, a feature of Derby for about two years now has been a complete inability to do the basics consistently or withstand even the most mild application of pressure.

Is that still happening . Wtf … weve really got some proper knuckle draggers following us atm havent we
i know every club has them and its more about society than dcfc but jesus

Just getting ready 

Or maybe … hes not the ternage sensation we thought he was 
hes showed moments of quality but equally hes showed moments / games of averageness
hes young , he needs to be allowed time but we cant judge him either way atm
 

Iv lost count over the 35 years iv watched this club we manage to do that 
 
its uncanny and really annoying

We just dont get the breaks do we 
post last week , crossbar today
dont get me wrong im clutching at straws as weve been poor but for the love of god give us some luck

How the hell has that not gone in. Off the bar off the line. duck off. Football is absolutely poo sometimes.

including 2 goals from a player they won't be paying a single penny for until their promotion is secured, not that the EFL give a duck about such an arrangement.

I wondered last week if the team would start to regress after the initial defiance and adrenaline had ran out.
An inexperienced manager,no real or effective number 9,a very limited squad and 12 points deducted couldn’t fail to have a negative effect on the squads morale in time…. Combine it with an ongoing lack of wins or goals and it’s no surprise the lads heads are dropping.
The fans outstanding and amazing support home and away can only do so much.

He is great at 1 or 2 things but awful at others. He needs to learn a more complete game.
