Elder booked for putting his thumb up after a soft foul 😡

It wasn’t a foul. The defender sived over thin air.

Our fans were right all along.

[Sheff Ram]

Another fairly poor first-half performance. Poor in possession and not much better out of it. Could easily have been 2:0.

But those yellow cards for Elder and Osborn. What were they all about?

[AndyinLiverpool]

the standard of basic skills of Derby's players is appalling. 

[Millenniumram]

46% pass success in the final third, that’s Sunday league level stuff

Wasn't good was it?

Doesn’t pulling back CBT count as a foul?

 

Lad was trying to get his shirt before full time!

Stop playing Adam’s so high up, he’s not a number 10!!

It’s just bizarre. I’ve sat here questioning whether it’s actually happening. But he is in that ‘10’ role isn’t he.

Exactly I don’t get it no point of him being the furthest forward as he’s even worse than Osborn on the ball or perhaps not on tonight’s showing 🤣

That’s because he’s having to carry Osborn, same with Adam’s. Said it before and I’ll say it again, we’re a much worse team with Ben Osborn in it.

Agreed. That was a poor half for him, for sure.

[Wsm-ram]

So so poor at the basics.

Need to see some bravery and character on the ball 2nd half because they treated that like a half arsed training session and just went through the motions.

Disappointing stuff..

Poor first touch, poor decision making, lacking match fitness. Take your pick.

Blackett Taylor hauled to the ground. Should be penalty. Nowt given. Then the Oxford full back dives over thin air and Elder is booked. Come on PGMOL, we can see right through you.

I usually hate all the 'refs hate Derby' conspiracy stuff, but that little passage of play was wild.

Elder booked for a sarcastic thumbs up now

He’s turning into Rob Brydon with comical defending thrown in.

[Elwood P Dowd]

PW needs to get his thinking bobble hat on.

[HorsforthRam]

This is a worrying performance. A real lack of quality and partnerships throughout the team. Oxford walking through the midfield at times. Loads of time on the ball, under no pressure. The slightest press on our lads and the ball is a panic pass or belted at someone who can’t control it. Awful. 

[Topram]

We look a totally different side away from home

[Srg]

Can’t wait for Brown not to come on

[rad1919]

That was horrible, absolutely miles off it in every department. Complete change of personnel and shape needed in the second half.

[InstaRam]

Well if we can arse ourselves up to at least 65 % effort level then we may very well get something from this game. 

CBT our main threat so get him on the ball more often.
