Excellent defending from Tom Lawrence there; but poor attacking from him as we look to come away with it and he gives it away.

Headless chicken or excited puppy dog spring to mind 

I’ll never Critise his effort 

everything else though is there to be shot at lol

One of the worst passes of the season there from Duane Holmes as Derby looked to counter.

Those self-inflicted obliterations of counter-attacks have been absurdly prominent this season.

 

Later.... Derby corner.

Holmes effort of a 30 yard switch of play ?

What's the formation?

We can't defend?? Incorrect.

We can't attack. That's been the story of this season so far.

Incorrect? look at how many we've conceded away this season. 

Lawrence cross from the cleared Derby corner might go on record as a shot on target. So that's something. Wasn't troubling the keeper though.

Sounds familiar.

Looks like something like 3-3-0 

This is painful

Waghorn has correctly surmised that he isn't going to win any long balls, so now he's Chirs Martining and claiming a foul at every one. Worked that time. Nothing comes of the free kick.

DET says:

"3 at the back for Derby with wing backs, Bielik, Holmes and Dowell in midfield, and Lawrence just off Waghorn"

I suspect that's something like what Cocu was hoping to try last week before Bielik got injured in the warm up.

How Chris Martin isn’t our target man I’ll never know. Waghorn is useless at it. 

Im literally watching paint dry at home, its exciting.

Holmes is playing some horrific passes today

For the first time all game, Derby show some ambition and actually press. Corner

Another Duane Holmes pass crushes a Derby spell of possession.

Derby win it back with some good pressing; leads to a long shot from Bielik which is deflected over for a corner. 

Lawrence's corner was decent - looked like Forsyth closed his eyes when he went for it as it flew past everyone without a touch. Holmes saves it from a throw but Bogle(?) hits a pass that heads out for a goal kick.

Forsyth is having an absolute shocker here. Very lucky Graham doesn’t score there 

A Blackburn attack sees Dack shoot over from range. Their attack was created by some excellent Dack play to beat Bielik. 

Holmes looks like he's won a competition to play today
