Well...good first half, scrappy second.

Tyson is a frustrating player (which you sometimes get with wingers) - pace but final ball not good enough.

S Davies had a bad first half, probably trying too hard. Sometimes he'd try little flick balls or one-touch stuff, that just didn't come off.

Two goals ruled out for offside, conceded against really their only decent chance (apart from the one that hit the post late on). Derby should have scored at least 3 with the chances they had.

The difference between the two sides in terms of quality was evident, although we should of won by 4-5 goals and only managed a draw it was a pleasing performance for the most part.

Will Hughes looks like he could quite easily be a regular next season and in all honesty if we had sacked green off in january and brought in Naylor and Hughes then I think we'd of been in a much, much better position.

I thought Hughes performance today surpassed anything that Green had done this season.

Peterborough got one of the least deserved draws this season - they should have been dead and buried by the time they equalised.

In many ways the game summed up our season - plenty of good play up to the final third, but poor last ball or bad finishing let us down. If Theo can get 12 goals this season a decent striker would fill his boots in this team. (I'm still not even sure he touched it as it went in?)

Aside from that, good performances in particular from Roberts, Hendrick and Mom Bryson. Shackell and Bucko looked solid. Tyson absolutely no end product, and not much else. Theo was usual Theo, Savies could have had a hat trick and missed a late sitter which would have won it 2-1. Leggo didn't have much to do in goal but did it fine, couldn't do anything about the goal, good to see Brayford's had a haircut, Hughes a revelation.

In short, a good home performance that didn't bring the three points it deserved.

didn't think he covered himself in glory either, he came and stopped for the goal and was in no mans land, also pushed away one of the free kicks where it looked a straight forward catch, got beaten from a corner when he went to punch

enjoyed that performance more than most our wins. Performances like that might not of been a win today but it has a bright future.

Legzdins 7 - released the ball nice and quickly. No chance for the goal

Brayford 7 - like the old Brayford. Full of attacking intent. Striker got between him and Buxton for the goal

Buxton 7 - solid enough, decent distribution. Needs to be more aware of his lack of pace.

Shackell 9 - excellent in all circumstances. Never gave a sniff

Roberts 9 - see Shackell.

Hughes 9 - oh he looked brilliant. Looks weak but was strong. Wonderful composure, tricky, fast thinking and brilliant positionally. MOTM.

Bryson 8 - tidy, effective, top work rate as usual. Awesome cross for the goal.

Hendrick 8 - good tidy passing and some strength. Typical of his better performances.

Tyson 6 - head went down early. Needs to stick his chin out.

Savies 7 - not his day. Didnt get much luck with anything he tried. Still threatened all game

Robinson 7- bit like Savies. Not his best game. Even stood still sometimes!!! Still, offered threats.

We've scored more goals with less chances than today.

Further proof that attacking football doesnt mean being open at the back. Good to see our "keep a clean sheet priority" performances slipping away and our sensible attacking play clearly showing a team deserving to win and looking safe at the back

Win, lose or draw. Today was a performance to be happy with
