He's joined the club he has always supported and almost certainly for less money than he would have got elsewhere. Whilst we've lost our player of 22/23 you can only applaud his decision. 
It'll be no different to when Will Hughes turns down more lucrative offers to rejoin us one day.

Nixon is a fraud. If everybody ignored him he might go away and become a proper journalist rather than tweeting 90% Barnum statements.

First 25 mins we were excellent. Been poor since conceding and Pompey look the more likely to score now. 
Still there for us if we can get the next goal but I'd like to see Barkz or Dobbin on for NML at HT.

1Wildsmith          6.5

White                6

I use the 'myparkingspace' website to pre-book a spot either at the Premier Inn, Derby East on - I think it's called - Wyvern Industrial Estate, or at Wickes on London Road. The latter having the not inconsiderable benefit of a fantastic chippy on the way back through towards home. 
Both cost around £5.50 including the booking charge.

1Wildsmith      6     One world class save, one sloppy error, several embarrasing timewasting incidents

38Knight        7

If we insist on wing backs then.....
                        Wildsmith
           Rooney   Forsyth   Cashin
Knight                                          Roberts
             Smith     Bird    Hourihane
                          Sibley
                       McGoldrick
(McGee, Davies, NML, Barkhuizen, Dobbin, Springett, U21 striker)
 
If not then.....
                           Wildsmith
Knight        Forsyth       Cashin       Roberts
                   Rooney         Bird
       NML               Sibley          Barkhuizen
                           McGoldrick
(McGee, Davies, Smith, Hourihane, Dobbin, Springett, U21 striker)
 
Quite happy to leave White out of the 18 and promote whoever is the most promising U21 striker to replace the hapless Collins. If the most promising U21 striker is unavailable then the second most promising U21 striker can be included. If neither are available then give Collins a shout. Joan preferably, or failing that, Phil.

I've just watched the penalty decision over and over again and it looks a correct decision every time tbh. White wasn't strong enough - again - and in going to ground he wipes out the Rovers player. 
What a dismal performance again. Wildsmith's timewasting is pathetic, Knight is regressing badly and Collins offers nothing. Nowt. We'd be much improved just with Didzy up top and giving Collins' shirt to someone else. Anyone else. 
The tippy tappy at the back we saw under Cocu, Rooney and Rosenior is something I can do without again but the idea then was to play attractive football when we got it forward too. This long ball guff, completely nullifying Hourihane and Bird's strengths, is awful to watch.
 

1Wildsmith       6     Quit with the sh1thousery please Joseph
34Rooney       5.5    Better as a DM imo
6Cashin           5     Sloppy
15Roberts        7     Decent and a couple of good carries forward
11Mendez-Laing     6   Not a RWB
18 Dobbin       5.5    No impact
12Smith           6.5     Solid and tidy enough
4Hourihane     6     Poor from dead balls 
8 Bird 🦅          6     Should start
38Knight          5     Poor and ineffective
7Barkhuizen     6     Assist but not a LWB
3Forsyth         5.5   Beaten three times in as many seconds leading to a yellow
10McGoldrick    7.5   Not everything came off but wonderful control for the goal
9Collins            4.5   Sell, release, whatever. Offers nothing
White               5    Conceded pen. Decent free kick but shouldn't play ahead of Sibley
Davies        6.5    Did well when came on

Agree with the posts above by @angieram, @Anag Ram and @RoyMac5. 
Picking up on something @angieram touches on, the style of play is hard to fathom and equally difficult to enthuse about. Why have Hourihane, Bird and Didzy in a L1 side and play in a predominantly direct fashion?
