There is no way these are worthy of a 2-0 lead. If we can get one back before half time, we can get something here. 

It’s 2-0, they’re sitting back and letting it happen. They wouldn’t be playing like this otherwise. They know we aren’t dangerous despite our 74 corners.

I’m not sure any Derby player seems on the ball right now… NML, Barks, Bird right off it…. 

[Millenniumram]

Just keep hold of the ball ffs

[StarterForTen]

Hourihane may as well be in the stand. Alongside Barkhuizen. 

[Zag zig]

Warne needs to sit them down at half time and tell a fair few to stop diving in and just play their game.

No way should we be 2 down.

No. He's been awful. Followed by Barkhuizen who really hasn't been firing for a bit.

Yep, those two would be the changes I’d made. Sibley and TJJ

Nelson, Nyambe and Forsyth are about the only ones who seem themselves

Here you go:

Law 12:

A direct free kick is awarded if a player commits any of the following offences against an opponent in a manner considered by the referee to be careless, reckless or using excessive force:

charges

jumps at

kicks or attempts to kick

pushes

strikes or attempts to strike (including head-butt)

tackles or challenges

trips or attempts to trip

Exactly the rule I read (so thanks, but doesn’t help me understand why a penalty should not have been given). It says nothing about whether the player impeded was likely to get to the ball or not.

[BuckoBeast]

Just what does our captain contribute?

Fair point but they still aren't worthy of the 2-0 lead. We've been the architects of our own downfall.

Barkhuizen again. This is a 1/10 performance from him.

Yeah they have zero need to chase the game. Be very content with this.

think I’d bring John Jules on for barkhuizen and go two up top.

we’re giving some really lazy fouls away too.

[DiggerB]

Sibley for Barks at half-time

But imagine their excitement when the comeback happens….. 🙏 🤞 🍀 

[Ramarena]

Foz put the ball back into the area there and put striker and left winger we’re miles away.

We cant have it both ways... saying we shouldn't be losing, we are the better team and then saying everyone is crap... granted some have been poor but other have been ok to good e.g Wilson, fozzy, Nelson, Nyambe
