27,041. Hourihane was also a spectator.

I’m seriously lost for words to describe how bad we are and how I feel right now.
It’s just atrocious. Almost as if the players have decided to throw everything away deliberately- they couldn’t be any worse.
Self destruction . 

..and they will be very weak in the middle…

I hope they're not derby county shelves or they'll never go up.

We only have one way of playing- everyone knows it. Hence all you have to do is stop us giving the ball out wide and moving upfield on the flanks. It’s the old Einstein statement (and I’m paraphrasing) about not being able to expect different results if u keep on making the same mistakes- ie do things differently if u want to change the outcomes. Quite clearly something that PW doesn’t understand.
But u also have to question the players…. It’s as if they have never played football as a team game before…. Basic stuff unable to be done.
Quite amazing to watch how bad we have become. Seriously depressing.

This is how imagine it will be if the second half is any similar 😂
 

Seriously though, there’s no real tactical nous needed to outwit someone who only knows one way to play… 🤷

He says he has no energy left, and he can't do it on 3 wheels. He'd go straight into this midfield.

From the days when we were in to sign players of Osgood’s ability…
..makes u want to cry 😢

Nyambe??????

Max Bird is our best footballer. End of.

All you have to do is watch the teams we are playing. They seem to control the midfield pretty well!

It’s always been a weird one. Everyone I speak to in person agrees he’s s****. But on here it’s ridiculous the amount of 💩 performance is met with a Liverpool style it’s someone else’s fault! 
All his relatives and mates must be on here under cover it’s the only thing that makes sense! 
 
 
 
 

Great shout, not sure how I forgot Fozzy, he’d be the natural choice for me if I was picking. Him or Nelson

Its simple leave smith and target different attackers! Warne does it every window then we stuggle to find the type of player hes looking for! Then we will end up signing someone because he will panic! Shouldnt of le5 brown go until we got some in if collins gets injuried we are f***ed another bit of bad management 

Including Rams TV. Can't believe the rubbish coming out of Barker's mouth when we were clearly playing like prime Barcelona last night. How dare he say we were playing absolutely awful football when we've been winning games recently. What does he know about the game?

Can you do Saturday’s pre match team talk please?

Man- the irony is so thick , what with so many folk saying pretty much our only player of note tonight (and MoTM) was Elder. Oh, how two games changes so much 🤪
But whilst most everyone else was crap i have to say that this game was the straw that broke the camel’s back in terms of my view on Max Bird. I love that he’s come up thru the ranks and is sorta one of our own. I think that's why so many people have given him so much latitude in terms of his performances…
But as of tonight I’ve had enough of his disappearing act in games. Yes, he can be good on his day and in spells, but he is too inconsistent and anonymous in too many games, to the point of effectively being a passenger. I look at the midfielders in some of the other top 6/7 sides and I realize that to move on we need to sell him and reinvest in new midfield blood. 

I think we miss Nyambe, Fozzy and Joe in that settled back five…

It’s a totally brainless comment from him in my opinion. Why would you do that unless you accepted that your own midfield was crap !? And if that’s so, then why not look to strengthen that as your priority!?
All the good teams build from a strong midfield - I am seriously wondering about his tactical nous. His one trick/game plan is pass it out wide and cross into the box. It’s frankly pathetic imho.
