Good effort considering the difference between the two teams.

It was noticeable after Hughes went off just how negative we became. Resorted to clearing the lines rather than trying to keep possession or press them further up the pitch.

Butterfield played in such a negatove manner. So slow and mainly passed sideways and backwards while doing very little pressing, causing huge spaces between him and Bryson.

Leicester deserved to probably win on the balance of it. They should have scored at the beginning of the second half and had they done so, would have gone on to win as we tired.

Disappointing after being up so long but would have been hard on Leicester given their chances. Been a while since I watched Derby, was surprised at how poor we are with ball retention in general, particularly in the Midfield. Used to seeing us with 60%+ possession routinely under Mac last time round, seems we no longer play the possession football? 38% tonight.

Had Russells header gone in and we'd been given the blatant hand ball, things might have turned out different.

Yeah, of course. I dont think it was handball.

It was harsh as it looked like the shot was heading in, but his hand was by his side.

Best referee'd game I've seen all season. Really entertaining game to watch too. 

Probably lose the replay unfortunately but that was confidence boosting.

Hope Hughes is OK
