Paul Cook will be in before Forest get him lol this defence looks awful 

While we are at it, get Steve Jones and John Rotten in as well. They'd be better than this shower. Oh and even Sid would do a decent job.

I would think that Mel may take a walk into the dressing room at half time. 

I'd certainly hope not. No business being there.

I got properly into following Derby about 14 years ago. This is the Derby I know and love. Confidence will probably collapse again soon and we can get back to setting lowest points records. 

Hopefully a Cocu sex tape will be on the front page of the tabloids again soon. 

Felt like a good time to cross post this one.

2007 nostalgia ?

Decent cover from Buchanan but he shouldn’t have conceded a corner.

After Rooney misjudged it.

Said it for a while and got slagged off. Clearly not up to it.

For while? its like he's been here a year already!...but agree so far he looks behind Wisdom and Clarke (apart from in Cocu's mind).

[S8TY]

If Clarke isn’t fit to play I just don’t see how he’s not playing

It’s the consistent of cocus reign though isn’t it 

we have loads of the ball in means less areas yet when we try and transition we give it away and leave ourselves exposed 

this type of lacklustre football won’t keep us up 

FTFY.....

[SaintRam]

Blackburn's counterattack is really impressive.

Yes, our defending is utter tosh - but Blackburn deserve some credit for how they attack in so many numbers.

It's alright us blaming the players but it's the coaching and team selection that's the issue here.

And tactics 

tempo less 

[Thierry Ennui]

On the bright side this is the perfect opportunity to stress test the new server.

There’s no defending this crap performance, it’s unacceptable and Morris should be demanding answers if I was him!

I think you have already answered Mel's question. There's no defending.

Football games can turn fast. If they can score 3 in 3 we can. 

I mean it's theoretically possible, but this match is well and truly over.

Being a Derby fan these past few months has been a real throwback to the Paul Jewell days. Getting beat every week, but somehow it not really hurting anymore - I’m numb to it now.

Could be 3-3 this one. Don't trust our defense but I think we'll score a couple. 

I'd take that now.

One things for sure, we ain’t going to win 4-3!

Any why not? Keep the faith!

I'm only getting "highlights" on SSN so can't comment on the game, though I said before kickoff it might be a tough afternoon. We sounded as if we started well and then were very unlucky. And conceding those goals in quick succession would rock any team. If we can get one back before half-time it might yet change. To try to help that, I'm going for a walk in case a change of scene helps us.

Come on you Rams!

[Gritstone Ram]

I know it’s commendable of us letting Sheffield Wednesday catch up with us but ideally I’d like to take the 12 point advantage.

Mac3 has to happen at some point and you know it. And the new signings, in my opinion*, are just not up to the Championship. Cocu out.

 

*not watching the game, not really watched any of them actually.

 

Seeing how chummy Mac and Mel were as they walked off the pitch after the Jim Smith tribute (arm in arm and grinning) I wouldn’t be surprised at all.

It’s 2020 and people are writing new signings off and seriously suggesting Mac3. Two a half games into the league season. 

I watched Con Blatsis for 45 minutes against.Blackburn many years ago and knew he was absolutely useless. I didn’t need to give him any longer, it was plainly obvious. I wasn’t fully convinced he had ever played football before. It is pretty clear that we have players completely out of their depth today as well. 

[Black ('n' White) Sheep]

Well... if it wasn't for Marshall we could be 5-0 down. Absolutely shocking.

Nice injection of positivity in the matchday thread just before kickoff. 

I was being positive.
