    Well we had a LB in the middle of a back three, an attacking midfielder LWB, a midfielder at RB, a lad with his second league start at RCB, a lad with a handful of games in centre midfield, coming off a tough schedule of games…think we did pretty well.
    Collins had one of those games, getting frustrated with others whilst running about achieving little. 
    Sky Sports giving Dale MOTM who did nothing all game against Sibley as a LWB???
    Sibley will have his critics but I think a game like tonight will do him some good because he will learn positional play by playing in that position. He did ok tonight all things considered. I think he’s learnt more these last 10 games than he’s done in the previous 90.
    Defensively we were excellent, in fairness so were they. We had the better chances but a draw a fair result. Our best chances never fell to the player you would want it to unfortunately. 
    Quite funny seeing a side getting frustrated by time wasting at throw ins considering they have a whole routine involving towels for every throw in all game.

    I think you need to buy it within the first 60 days actually. https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT202702
    Best bet is probably through insurance or a third party. If you feel comfortable having a go yourself @TuffLuff then that is an option too. Swapped out many a screen for friends in the past so it can be done with the right parts off ebay etc.

    A nice thread from Leigh Curtis and he raises a good point. We can talk about formations, style of play etc all we want but the two biggest problems Derby have are a lack of depth and the market we’ve had to buy in. Warne can’t do anything about those two factors.

    Toney - only a replacement for Kane who if stays fit will play every minute, Wilson and Rashford are backups and Rashford can play wide so better overall balance, yes he’s unlucky.
    Tarkowski - agree he’s unlucky but not much in it with Coady it won’t be defining and Southgate says how important coady is around the squad.
    Mee - agree but not got experience in the bank
    Ward-Prowse - maybe I need to watch him more closely but I don’t get the hype, he’s good at set pieces but what else does he do. Think Loftus-Cheek unlucky but again it won’t be defining because Bellingham will be first choice anyway.

    It’s a gift from the ref in my opinion. Some absolutely shocking decisions during that second half, and didn’t give Derby anything in that last 10. I don’t think he gave anything against Jarvis all game and he was their main culprit. 
    For those complaining about the performance, look at the conditions, those expecting passes and keep ball aren’t ever gonna get in those conditions  today. 
    Essentially I thought we were pretty professional and looked good, the sending off is a poor decision and changes the game completely when they also have the wind behind them. 
    It is what it is and I don’t want to go really OTT about our performance because the game was always going to be that, especially with our lack of depth. We should be clear by half time yes, but it is what it is.

    It's a cup tie played in tricky conditions which we were dealing comfortably with until Cashin gave the ref a chance to even things up. We didn't manage 10v11 as well as we could have, but we're a hotch-potch of a team equally split between two generations with little in between and don't deserve roasting when we don't perform. 
    We're still in the cup as well, though it sounds more like we got knocked out. 
    Paul Warne's interview was spot on.

    You are putting a precedent on this that these people are subscribing to newspapers that they like rather than making subscribing to many newspapers to get a rounded opinion because of the organisation they work in.
    This country has one leading ‘left’ newspaper, and then a load more that are right leaning aside The Independent (maybe). So it’s little surprise that The Guardian comes out on top. Mail, Telegraph, Times etc are in much more direct competition if someone is trying to get both sides. To be honest the data probably shows that there are quite a lot subscribing to more right leaning papers than left and against your point.
