Well what can you say after that 45mins we are absolutely woeful Lawrence is trying as is Malone but we are up against possibly the worst away side in any division and we dont look likely to score a goal

I cannot remember us being this bad over such a long period even under Pearson we actually looked like we might score now and then

For all those who get a rock in their pants about Huddlestones lack of mobility ... please note that first half .... and Saturday 

without him we don’t have a ducking clue how to move the ball accurately.

hes been immobile all his career but the managers that have got the most out of him (at the highest level I hasten to add) are ones that have given him options to hit and energy around him 

it’s not not rocket science so why pre injury our genius of a coach and “championship specialist” thought putting Dowell next to him was a good idea I’ll never know

Would have been an acceptable 45 away from home so Wigan will be really happy. The fact we're at home, got a proper licking on Saturday and there has been no response is disappointing. 

The saddest part about it all for me is how we don't look a team. I can get on board with a collective effort which is missing the quality but there's no teamwork in this side currently. 

I miss Keogh.

Holmes was trying things. Shinnie and Bielik however... Zero creativity there. Just release the ball to the nearest white shirt regardless of whether its a good play or not. Just look scared to have the ball. 

I disagree. I think Holmes has been terrible too. Only players to come out with any credit are Malone and Lawrence. Apart from that it’s awful.  

Holmes or Paterson have to get closer to Waghorn. We haven’t even threatened an opening.

Everything I expected. Terrible play in the final third with no tactic that I can see. Just do as you please baalocks. 

The build up is ok with a sprinkling of total feck ups as usual. 

Still makes me laugh we have a keeper that can't catch. I don't really understand that.

As always, far far far too many unforced errors. I've not seen so many from a Derby team in a long time. Not under Pearson or Clement. 

Even under Clough... there was a lot of poor play while trying to play percentage football or hold onto a 1-0 lead for dear life. But errors under no pressure? Not like this. It's inventive ways to make something easy look hard. 

Crap, man

That was the most uninspiring, pedestrian, boring first half of football I have seen. Something is seriously wrong at this club. The performances are not in line with a healthy club. Attendances are way down, the fans are quiet (not surprising considering the showing), and the football is dire. No movement, no pattern, no desire. Something is seriously amiss at this club.

This old chestnut, you are surely clutching at straws. The truth is the players are trying, they are just not very good.
