Really frustrating time to concede. The introduction of Smith and the patience with the ball with the back 5 finally wrestled some control in this half, and gave us a platform to build from where we missed a gilt-edged chance to completely kill the game. Wouldn’t say the goal was against the run of play, but the tide was turning.

What this game needs is a break away goal for Collins. Absorb a bit of pressure, counter attack from NML and Collins on the end of a cross to thump it home. Cue the 20 game unbeaten run...

That would be splendid, please.

I set it up for him...

Still time to redeem himself!

I don’t see it that way, Sibley was blowing cold. More likely to keep the ball with Smith.

Think it’s more about putting on a player who can retain the ball. Not been in control for a while. 

It's a crazy decision. We saw Barnsley score because someone was prepared to buy a ticket and shoot, and it hit Stearman and went in. 

At the other end Derby played it in front of the Barnsley defence for a minute or two and no one was prepared to shoot. 

You want to retain the ball? Sibley almost never gives the ball away in a position dangerous to us (unlike the rest of the team). He sometimes gives it away in their box because he knows (unlike the rest of the team) you often have to take risks to score. 

So fed up. It's all Barnsley as we've retreated to the edge of our box.
