But your account of the incident is fiction anyway. Rather than shoulder contact, your player went close and kicked out with his leg - can't see if contact actually made. So cut the sanctimonious stuff. Did you notice when one of your coaches picked up the ball when it went out close to the dug out and he actually carried it into the dugout and the ball disappeared for a while. This all because he wanted to delay the Derby throw until your players were ready. What business has a coach picking up the ball unless to throw it straight back onto the field.

Our home-grown players ( Bird, Knight Sibley) having gone backwards under Warne and its down to 
way Warne wants them to play ( or not play )

How did we score then?

To expect the substitutions to make an improvement assume Warne has good ideas about tactics and formation and picking players to suit. Selections for the last few matches seem rather random and when did his substitutions make a difference  - only rarely.

Collins ... You were asleep for his cross across the box close in ?? McGoldrick could have scored.

He scored 3 goals for Cardiff in 26 appearances  last season - we knew he was poor when we brought him in. Of course
we had limited choices but he is quite the worst centre forward we have had for years. No hope with him, though Warnes tactics
don't help.

A very limited interpretation ... look back it's not that Hourihane gives up , rather he hesitates as to which of two Fleetwood players to challenge and then goes after the player going down the outside. Forsyth just runs back as quick as he can paying no attention to where their players are at all , and his challenge on the scorer was completely ineffective. It was actually Forsyth who gave the ball away in the first place with a completely p poor pass/cross on the edge of their are , when we had so many players forward. No wonder he was running back so fast.

Hourihane is one of our best players when football is played on the deck with our players passing to him.
Partially agree.....Doesn't warrant a starting position if his job is solely to win 2nd balls at chest height from defensive headers that opposition defenders have won from our long punts up field. Can't think he enjoys it much.

A large section on here have been critical of Hourihane for months regardless of what he actually does contribute on the pitch. He is one of the worst players we have ever had , defensively. Not sure that Warne is using him in a way that utilises his best skills. The defensive role he has in midfield just doesn't suit  That said he gives the ball away far less than many and his dead ball kicks can be very good and has scored some key goals . Barkhuisen's corners yesterday were awful and can't be blamed on 'tactics', just a low skill level.

Obviously there was nowt wrong with the starting XI in the 1st half. 1-0 up at HT and might have been more. They changed personnel and how they played 2nd half. We failed to react to that change. Not the first time that's happened. 

I don't understand how the ref can give that freekick but not the one where Barks beats his man

Drearily negative , Bolton game forgotten

Davies spent most of the match looking like he had had one knee fused together. Giant of a man, collosus of the Club, but not mobile enough to play when Cashin and Forsyth are fit and available. Just my opinion though.

Difficult to say, I think Rosenior deserves credit for putting this team together. 

Well Hourihane is usually in the starting X1 so presumably our coaches rate him, even if he is a scapegoat
for many on here.

Did he really say that? He said  something along the lines of any side would be in trouble conceding two goals against an average side , with the implication that it was far worse cos it was Derby. He actually compliments Derby saying how well we played , adding that it was men ( us ) against boys  (them).Colemans interview was far better than one might have expected from his graceless comments after the away game at their place.
