Could be worse than that - you could be here. 

The players look like they've just been introduced to each other on the pitch before the game. No idea how to string a few passes together. We're too slow in every area of the pitch.

BTW, before first goal Lawrence was being pulled back and he tried to wriggle away and played the poor pass off balance. If he'd have gone down instead he'd have won a free kick. Shocking decision making put us under pressure and we have just caved.

No team spirit,  Keogh yelling at young Buchanan, it's all horrible.

Tv angle showed the slight touch but it was not enough to knock him off balance, not a free kick imo

Started pointing and mouthing off, was a pathetic reaction to be honest. 

[Sparkle]

Lawrence’s second half contribution will be fascinating

Wasn't impressed on Tuesday and certainly not impressed now. I can't honestly see what Cocu is trying to do. Complete and utter shambles. We need to get a settled team who know how to play together. Players are losing confidence and to be honest so am I.

He needs to go away and reassess everything he is doing...start by playing to the strengths of players rather than playing them in positions that don't suit them. 

Show about if passion too,get them riled up...these arent logical and calm Dutch players you have cocu,they need motivating and made to believe they are winners.

If you want to play a 433 type system then do it and use the players that suit (and yes,that absolutely does mean bringing Martin in from the dark,we desperately need to get the ball to stick and allow the ball to be distributed around the the edges of the box)

But then stick to a system...what we have now it clearly utter chaos and confusion...having a plan a isn't such a bad thing 

 

[GrimsbyRam]

At least the manager has identified that a left back at right back want working, only thing is he's brought an attacking midfielder/winger on at right back.....square pegs and all that 

[Derbados]

Cocu looks like Frank de Boer mk2 I’m afraid

[GenBr]

Did we change formation?

[Sparkle]

We are playing two up front ⚽️

Not sure what we had to start with

[Millenniumram]

Dowell goes off to an ironic cheer

[TomG]

Don't forget that this season is one of 'transition', we're transitioning from a team that's really quite poor, to one that's absolutely pants!

[Van der MoodHoover]

I know stats aren’t necessarily everything but ours for this game look horrendous in terms of attacking intent. 16 shots to 2. 0 on target for us.

Interesting that Dowel got just 5 mins to prove himself before being hauled off in this half. 

[Ghost of Clough]

About time Dowell came off

[Leeds Ram]

Tactics are an absolute joke. All it takes is one pass and we're split right open with them running onto us. We're pressing way too high in the midfield and forward lines without the necessary corresponding pressing

[Bob The Badger]

Holmes is already Derby's best player

How is that twit gonna prove anything in 5 min considering he hasn't done anything in all the games he has played in?

Probably to give Bennett enough time to warm up. Dowell looks completely devoid of confidence to be honest
