we should be one up

See Lawrence retains his spot, hope he plays his good November game today.

What an odd game, we played absolutley awful in that first half, all the players you would have question marks behind didn't turn up, our midfield which is normally our strength (Bird/Shinnie) couldn't get on the ball, we should have been 4, 5 or even 6-0 down. 2nd half we played much better, although that might be down to them sitting back. CKR, Davies.... who says age is bad, they bring so much to this team.

Put this to bed, onwards & upwards, still time in the season yet.

another fake injury, this was getting silly 3 fake injuries ago, the ref has allowed this

duck me, hit the post !

this si ridiculous here, they are not even trying to play the ball, its constant

we might get 1 or 2 more chances in these 5 mins, come on Derby, lets get a point

5 minutes? is that all

Could do with 20 mins added time ?

Get in, come on you rams!

Ebosele has been a bright spark, very dangerous

Just looking at the half time replays... we are lucky to be only 2-0 down. @OrphanramI agree with what your saying, Sibley is trying hard but for me his first touch is awful, remember his hatrick, he had twinkles toes, was like the ball was glued to his boot, for some time his control has been really bad.

Take off Joz, Lawrence & Sibley ... apart from one cross by Joz those 3 haven't offered anything, we need players to keep hold of the ball and be able to control it in their half. Has Lawrence even touched the ball?

They are doing a great job of drawing us out of shape, then playing a key pass to break our lines, when they turn the ball over.

They have a good game plan and players up top to hurt us, we don't have a clue how to counter this. Mostly when we get near the half way line they close us down, in reverse we let them run at us.

We could easily be 4-0 down.

There is no easy fix for this, think CKR is our only hope but we do have some youngsters who can do things going forward.

Morrison chance there was a great piece of play, shot was not strong enough and too close to the goalie but never the less, a shot!

Can't win games without having scoring chances, we have had one with Sibley and that is it.

Shoots of hope with that attack, good ball from joz back into box, Sibley should have it it first time but anyway, some positives!

Corner to them... marking Gallacher is Byrne ... must be a foot smaller in height LOL

thank god, just a yellow... must say I think it was retaliation for the one they did 5 seconds before (which wasnt given)

this could be red

Last seasons inability to defend and gift goals and chances appears to finally have crept back to haunt us 

It seems like we have no midfield ... they are non existent, so the ball keeps going back to the defence

What the hell is going on

Blackburn are playing as team, defending as one, pressing as one and attacking as one.

Derby havent turned up or put barely 3 passes together.

Oh well, we win 3-2 then ?

FGS Derby wake the duck up!

Roos scares the crap out of me when he kicks the ball.

Fozzy, Sibley, Joz, Lawrence .... all need to show this game their worth, so far they have done duck all.

Big difference between the teams is that they have strikers who can score, we don't ... the threat we offer is not good so far with the final ball being passed at the Blackburn defenders instead of over them

We are giving them way too much space, not close enough to the attackers letting them run at us. Very unlucky for Roos, was a good save just couldn't keep it crossing the line. We are not out of it, early days yet.
