We lost to Rotherham, Milwall and Bolton, and got slapped 4-1 by Leeds so I dont think it was "much much better" at all.

We won 4 of our first 6. I'd kill for that this year.

[Edtheram]

I’m honestly starting to think we are in for a relegation battle this season. Players and management look lost, utter crap 

[Gone]

Poor tactics, poor team selection, poor formation. So far from what I’ve seen this Manager is clueless! Change it at half time Cocu FFS this is absolute poo

Bielsa is a top manager and he manages to get the best out of his players.

And you are seeing the rewards of letting the manager do his thing. I wish people would put our start to the season in context. No it isn't great, but this was always going to be a tough game.

Despite being 1-0 down, Richard Keogh has been excellent.

Be far worse scoreline without him

Not really, Bielsa came in and immediately got results. Poor example.

[Coneheadjohn]

We are awful but still in it.

Camera panning to the bench to Cocu sums this up.  The fella doesn't even know its half time!

 

Because he continued having his conversation with his assistant (likely about what can be done to improve things), rather than sprinting down the tunnel? ?

What stronger team could he pick? Shinnie? Dowell? Paterson?

Beilsa had a bad first season then?

Take me back to the glory days last season of barely creating chances vs Millwall, Rotherham and Bolton, being dicked at home to Leeds, all while having three top half Premier League players on loan.

Cocu out!!!!!

[CornwallRam]

Need to go 352 

[Sith Happens]

Much better now from Derby,  oh wait its half time.

But a poor performance was literally not tolerated against Forest when the kids played

Yes but we haven't seen a step change in that performance today when the established first teamers have been played 

Am putting it out there why is that then?

We won 4/6 of our first games, we finished in the top 6, and we had our best season since McClaren in 13/14. It's not Lampard vs Cocu, but if it was, it's no question which one had the better start as manager. Take us back to getting banged at Brentford away. Oh wait.

Yeah 352 players we might grab a draw ?

[Gritstone Ram]

Only saw from the goal onwards but what I have seen Waghorn is too deep. We are trying to play out from the back but are inviting Leeds onto us. When we come out with the ball we get to the halfway line and then the next pass isn’t good enough and everything breakdown and allows Leeds back to recover. I think if we could put some moves together it would give Leeds something to think about. 

Roos isn’t good enough. Zoom trips over his own shadow. Waghorn get up top lad. Marriott score us a goal. Come on you Rams!!

[Pearl Ram]

I’d love to know what Mel thinks of how we’re being set up, that was as poor a performance as I can remember, sympathy to all those that paid good money to get into the ground. 

[ViewsFromTheMiddle]

Would’ve settled for 1-0 at HT, especially with how we’ve played.

Get Knight and Paterson on for Huddlestone and Zoon.

Be surprised if Leeds don’t score again but always a chance of nicking something while only 1 down.
