Well played Leeds. Destroyed us down the left. Our central midfield might as well have been a brick wall considering how the ball was used. 

Shackell is the worst passer I've seen at Derby. He kills any momentum and might as well pass to them considering how he telegraphs everything. 

But it is just 1 game. 2 back to back defeats away at Norwich and Leeds hopefully sober a few people up who got carried away. Lots of work to do and a lot of money poorly spent since 2014. That was the case weeks ago. 

But we can still push at that top 6. 

it best it happens in jan where we can get players

 

BUT we need to keep ourselves in it, a loss to reading , draw to ipswich and loss to newc could kill us

Outplayed from the 1st minute, full backs poor, forward 3 non existent, Bryson awful, center halfs confused. Not good enough tonight, a lot of work to do

He had his arms in the air. Only the most biased person would argue that was wrongfully disallowed.

That was a goal. And a bloody good goal too. His arms were there for balance while he rocketed the ball into the net with his majestic forehead. Would've been goal of the season if the ref knew his arse from Barry Bent's elbow.

Abysmal performance, utterly abject. Not one player deserves more than a 2/10. Made them look like absolute world beaters from start to finish, when they are in reality just another bog standard Championship side. Only good thing is that we will not play as badly as the last two games again this season, surely? 

Actually, I thought Keogh was good.

No it wasn't. We have good players. We let them play / they pressed high. Monk was prepared - his tactics would have destroyed any derby mcclaren side. You can't be that predictable. 

Are you serious? Our 2013/14 side was miles better than this Leeds side. 

Good players? Who? We were missing eight first-teamers! EIGHT. And even with those EIGHT first-team players, the best Derby XI nowadays is still miles off the 2013/14 side.

Disgraceful performance. Full backs absolutely non-existent and biggest issue.. For those saying Baird desrves to keep his place, I hope you now see how much we need Christie. Not once did the Full Backs even look to be positive, which is key in a 4-3-3 formation. Our back 4 is so square at all times, whereas Christie gives us an outlet and allows Ince to roam making him harder to pick up. Hanson just not good enough as a Championship player, especially when asked to play out of position.

Bryson is finished for a team looking to go where we are. Not the player he was. Johnson can break play up, but he just isnt good enough on the ball. Vydra im afraid needs to move on. I feel for him, but it is just not going to work for him at this club. He is a shadow of his former self and confidence is in pieces. That chance he had highlighted that. He has to shift it left and try and get a yard. Many asking to giove him a chance out wide, im sorry but that is enough. Simply doesnt have the qualities and movement of a wide player in a 4-3-3.

Ince in the first half and Hughes for 15 minutes in the 2nd the only ones with any credit for me.

We are miles away from where we need to be. The 13/14 team would beat us by 4. Desperately need Christie abck, plus a proper Left Back in until Lowe is back fit. Another midfield player who is a goal threat, plus a top quality wide player. Sako, Lansbury would be ideal.

It did hit his arm though?

It's half arsed. All his movement is lethargic. 

I've defended vydra to the hilt, but he's lost my support after that- didn't look at all bothered about the poor performance at all, no real effort to try to change things when he got the ball, disgraceful really

They were just quicker closing down and breaking forward. It was like watching a Paul Clement side from last season very lethargic performance all round. 

But The Treetards sale has fallen through...

Moo Haa Haa Haarrrrrgggghhh

We were rubbish Leeds were sensible we lost correct result

carson - did ok but looks unsure at crosses and passes defenders into trouble 

baird - he is a cover defender and does it well but little going forward we do miss Christie 

keagh - did ok but so many inside passes

shackell- same as above

hanson - not fair he should be remembered for playing left back he can't do it

de sart - went missing and went off

bryson - ran around but we didn't have the ball

johnson - highlighted his ineffectiveness in central midfield again 

Ince - looked ok 

camara - left Hanson so exposed did little going 

bent - never saw the ball

subs - Hughes - we looked better when he was on the pitch

vydra - so disappointing his effort was non existent 

nugent - same as bent 

manager  - should have been more sensible in team selection especially with the left back situation
