Why are we playing 3 at the back and 2 holding midfielders at home. Midfielders.need to get forward as Collins is more isolated than most of us in March 2020

3 at the back with wing backs can soon become 5 at the back and then with 2 holding midfielders you have 7 at the back plus the goalie... then end up with zero link up from midfield to attack.

Wildsmith to the bench for me. Terrible start to this season. Vickers deserves a chance.

Have to say I’m beginning to think that myself. Wildsmith on the end of several bad mistakes this season.

 

Rams go off to boos. We have been dreadful.

[RadioactiveWaste]

Well, that sucked.

Darren Moore in attendance. Probably just taking a game in but hey. Why not stir the pot cos this is absolute dire. 

Get him in!

[Edtheram]

This game is a reminder that Collins can’t always lead the line. He’s won 0 headers and is being pocketed by the Oxford CBs. We need that Cosgrove lad from brum it’s going forward and coming right back. 

[LittleEatonRam]

Those defenders just can't play in a back 3 at the moment. They all look nervous.

[dcfcreece1601]

Crowd boos again , sad times and a long season ahead , no plan b and plan a doesn't work , we don't have the height in the box to play his gameplay of fast wing backs pumping balls in repeatedly 

[Simmo’s left foot]

At least the boo boys are happy. Nice to see such real supporters.

[Magicman]

Dire no plan poor passing and wasted corners. 

[IslandExile]

Bloody rubbish.

Woeful.

You can forget any thought of promotion.

[Silko]

Did we get booed off again ?

Because then as soon as they do the three defenders all start social distancing from the other side's players.

Think we social distance in open play as well I’ve never seen a derby team so inadequate of movement and passing. Just need to hope we have 20 set pieces a game

Warne seems fixated on three at the back, he only played a back four last season when injury forced him to.

And yet we looked by far the most secure when we played with four and Fozzy/Cashin in the middle. To my mind the season went awry when we went to three with Davies added..

The lack of quality and composure on the ball is fricking freightening

id be looking at waggy and wash in sooner rather than later, drop bird back and get him on the ball .. its not good against a pretty ordinary and rarely troubled oxford

Do you have any levels below "dreadful" because I have seen many a Derby performance worse than that!

But... it wasn't great.

I would say that shot was unstoppable, sometimes you just have to hold your hands up and say it was a good shot, granted the marking and cutting us open was terrible.

It was very stoppable at his near post. It was poor keeping. Vickers deserves a chance as he's had a horrid start to the season.

Warne would rather die than sub anyone off before the 70th minute unless forced to

Very poor.

I’d say the biggest difference between us and them is the movement, especially in midfield. Oxford players are bright aggressive and looking to get into space. 

We look like we’ve just got out of bed. Our defenders don’t have any out ball into the midfield and have to go long.

Only positives are NML who’s movement is ok and he’s trying to drive us forwards, Wilson trying to be positive too.

Midfield need to sort their poo out as they are spectors!

Well that’s second half at Burton was a one off. Back to absolute chaos again 

My dear chap, are you in pain?

3 home games so far, boos at half time in each one. Something is badly wrong.
