Hourihane can duck off in January. Plays like he doesn't want to be here.

Nonsense

10 men or not our passing is f****** terrible 

Yes, we were just hoofing it upfield , stupid when you are a man down.

Cashin cost us today just bloody stupid piece of non defending 

 

[Mr Tibbs]

Probably should have had that game wrapped at HT. Dobbins inability to take his chances again costing us.
 

What happened after the card was embarrassing though. We just didn’t compete in midfield. Defenders could only hold them at bay for so long, we needed Hourihane, Bird and then Thompson to get a foothold. (Heard that before haven’t we?). 
 

Roll on January. 

[Yani P]

Down to 10 men we should have lost an attacker and kept the defence and midfield shape...we seemed to just lose the plot.

I thought that we were poor second half but the ref was worse. 

We didn't manage to hold the ball up at all once we went down to ten men, Dobbin, Osula and Collins all guilty of terrible decisions in possession. 

If you didn't know better you'd believe that the ref had a dressing down at half time for being too fair.

[Alph]

Shithousery performance by Derby failing there. 

You can blame the ref but that was utter nonsense again. No direction, no responsibility, no leadership. 

The exact sort of team that we would face under McClaren and get annoyed when they'd fluke something off us. 

It was a penalty. That was deserved. And that could have been avoided if somebody took some responsibility on the ball. Or if there was any kind of direction beyond kick it up and head it on. Torquay managed to play so it wasn't impossible to ask for Derby to at least compete in that second half. 

If Torquay had scored earlier in the half they might have gone on to win it too. Such was the open invitation. 

Only seen this since the Ipswich game but I'm assuming this isn't a common approach to games? 

A bunch of midfield bottlers, forwards with just a general "do stuff" instruction and then defenders encourage to just play the percentages? Is that what Warne is about?

We simply shouldn’t be losing against players with such cheap haircuts. 

Have you seen Max Bird’s ?

Ultimately I think the game management in the second half cost us, not the inability to take chances

Only just back from injury isn't he? Might need him at CB soon, so no point risking him.

He was on the bench at Morecambe. 

They were always going to pump it in thr box, bring on a 6'3" cm or a  5'3" cm. 

It's not rocket science 

[Big Bad Bob]

Well we can't say it wasn't entertaining! Gone is the sideways sideways back passing. Classic cup game and torquay wanted it more than Derby second half. Hopefully we'll have a good turnout at pride Park and Warne will have them up for the replay.

We can't blame the ref for that. That was totally our own fault for vomiting up a performance bordering on gross misconduct.

Stearman played on 3 players for the goal.

Not when the ball was first played in, he played them on for the deflected shot.

[Boycie]

Leeds would have taken more.

Thought it was Birds clearance, but whichever, the clearance was utterly appalling and it deserved to be punished.

Worst of both worlds now with the replay

Oh was it? 
That doesn’t surprise me tbh. Shocking.

Agreed. A couple of bad decisions can go against you, our record of cards and penalties is now a trend. A trend that completely coincides with Warne taking over I might add.

Exactly. 4 year contract. Kill me.

Cost us big time crazy defending should have just let him get the shot in even if he scores we'd have pissed it with 11 men

Lol incandescent rage actually 

Just joking! Completely understandable. I've had a large libation in my hand for the last half hour as an anaesthetic to kill the pain. Have a good evening!

It was the last kick of the game, the keeper came up for the corner and it was us defending. As sure as night follows day it was going to go in.

It was a terrible corner too. So should have been game over.
