1Wildsmith 6 Didn’t really get tested. 

35Nelson 7 Robust and commanding.

6Cashin 6.5 Some slack passes to opposition but strong challleges.

3Forsyth 7 Reliable & honest

11Méndez-Laing 5.5 Below par 

17Sibley 7 Raised the game down the left

12Smith 7.5 Started at RFB switched to midfield mobile and energetic 

4Hourihane 6 Withdrawn injured without imposing much

Embleton 6 Some promising forward passes

22Fornah 6 Raw and some edge but stupid booking for kicking the ball away in petulance

20Elder 5.5 Mostly an unseen presence 

Barkhuizen 6.5 Saw good action and looked a source of threat

10Waghorn 6.5 “Won” the penalty & cleared off our line

14Washington 6.5 Lots of early promise & pressure 

9Collins 6.5 Took the peno with aplomb & worked very hard

Workmanlike team performance but worrying lack of pattern, control and possession. As a spectacle it’s like watching men imitate 8 year olds who chase the ball and hoof it with little thought for creativity. We sorely miss Bird. It’s an eyesore to watch.

1Wildsmith 6.5 a lot less busy than I expected him to be, made one smart save and collected a few tame shots

35Nelson 7.5 solid, especially in the air

6Cashin 7 solid, but because he tries to find a player with a pass he makes mistakes. Nelson just kicks it out and doesn't worry about the next phase. Ironically, makes him look better! 

3Forsyth 7.5 if only we had 11 Fozzies, effort and control

11Méndez-Laing 5 a mistake starting him today

17Sibley 7 lively and can pass a ball to another player, looks match fit

12Smith 6.5 looked better than of late, both at rightish back and in midfield. Still tidy rather than inspiring

4Hourihane 6 another injury, getting worried about these now

Embleton 6 a bit anonymous,  I thought he was pulling out of challenges. Will hopefully improve with game time

22Fornah 6 wasn't sure what he added to the game and had a silly booking which could have contributed to a red card. After he went off I realised what he'd been doing! 

20Elder 5 he is like an overgrown puppy, enthusiastic but totally lacking in limb control

Barkhuizen 6.5 looked tidy, another who can pass to another Derby player - that's three! 

10Waghorn 7 fantastic workrate, good pressing, nearly had another deflected goal and saved us one by heading off the line. Didn't really get much service.

14Washington 6 he chases down the ball so well it's a shame he's not very good at using it when he gets there

9Collins 6.5 looked lively, didn't mind him coming out wide to receive ball as we still had Waggy in middle. Took the penalty well

Warne 4.5 Still doesn't set us up right (Elder at some high wide left position that I'm not sure has a name?) and undid the reward our hard work could have acheived by putting us into a back 5 after we scored. As usual, marking then goes to pot and we concede.

1Wildsmith 6.5 made some important saves but was hesitant on crosses.

35Nelson 6.5 was bullied by Bishop in the first half but played well 2nd

6Cashin 6. Defensively okay but his passing was woeful 

3Forsyth 6.5 normal, reliable self without being outstanding 

11Méndez-Laing 5 should have been subbed earlier 

17Sibley 7 not brilliant but at least he played some football!

12Smith 6 tidy but that’s not really enough 

4Hourihane 5 struggled even before his injury 

Embleton 5 showed nothing special and fluffed clearances 

22Fornah 6 would like to see him run with the ball more. Bit reckless.

20Elder 5, was okay first half but awful second.

Barkhuizen 6.5 cross led to pen, had late chance and got in good areas

10Waghorn 7.5, my MOM for sheer effort. Never stopped trying.

14Washington 4 seriously what does he offer? I don’t see it.

9Collins 6.5 did okay and loved his pen.

Ref 8/10 the only quality on view yesterday.

Linos 3/10 how can they justify their money when they bottle so many decisions?

1Wildsmith - 7 - solid and not at fault for the goal

35Nelson - 7.5 - another good defensive display from him. Inspires confidence.

6Cashin - 7 - won plenty in the air and tackled well

3Forsyth - 7 - good defensively and mostly effective link-up going forward

11Méndez-Laing - 6 - not much going on today. Tired from international duty?

17Sibley - 6.5 - looked sharp. Hope to see more of him.

12Smith - 7 - his best game so far this season, mainly in the first-half at RB.

4Hourihane - 6 - one wicked delivery from set-pieces. We don't need any more injuries but if it gives someone with a bit of pace an opportunity in the middle I can definitely see a silver lining.

Embleton - 6.5 - decent debut. Am expecting more though.

22Fornah - 6.5 - stupid booking meant presumably not risked for the second half. Otherwise had a decent half.

20Elder - 6.5 - decent performance on the whole

Barkhuizen - 6.5 - bit of a spark. Shame about the finish after his good work late on.

10Waghorn - 6.5 - for effort. Not much happening for him otherwise.

14Washington - 6.5 - see Waggy comment. Didn't think he was as "outstanding" as claimed on Rams Player (!)

9Collins - 6.5 - well done for the pen. Feared the worst when he stepped up (thought Waggy would take it) but good to see his confidence and took it expertly.

Wilson - 6 - decent effort given he probably isn't fully fit. The earliest hint of a suggestion of a rumour of an indication that his crossing ability might be slightly improving.

1Wildsmith 7 Did everything asked of him.

35Nelson 7 Defended well

6Cashin 6.5 A few stray passes but decent overall 

3Forsyth 7 solid as ever, good on the ball, one of our better players again.

11Méndez-Laing 5.5 Looked tired

17Sibley 7 Good. Used it well. A threat 

12Smith 6.5 Fine

4Hourihane 6

Embleton 5.5 Can’t run. Half hearted clearances. Not fit but expected a bit more dynamism

22Fornah 6 Fine

20Elder 5.5 Looked lost, not his fault, but he’s a left back and not an attacking player

Barkhuizen 6.5 Did ok. Should have hit target at the end

10Waghorn 7 Worked hard, hit bar. Looked lively

14Washington 5.5 Poor. Never looks likely to score and poor final ball for Waghorn. Energy isn’t enough when you have little quality. 

9Collins 7 Better than Washington. Drifted too much in Sibleys way but did well. Good peno.
