Derby County (A) - Sunday 8th March [3pm KO]

[USABlue]

Bye lads and lasses I am sure you are sick of my posts as much as I am.watching this predictable shit.

[superniko]

Let’s be honest today isn’t the issue. Drawing at home to Swansea and Stoke is. We should be in the top 6 already.

Sick of saying it but no team starting Bennett and Bell is ever making the playoffs.

Yep, if you think about it.....Bennett, Bell and an out of position Nyambe in the back 4.

Plus Brereton and SG, which makes 5 outfield players ineffective...50% of the team. Plus the others are having an off day.

Mowbray out 

[Bigdoggsteel]

Soft,soft goals. Miss Lenihan big time. 

Brereton needs to put himself about more. 

Get Johnson on

With that yellow, rothwell needs taking off. Johnson on to shore things up. Would try and take Bennett off but we have no cb to allow nyambe back to rb

He did it a few times in league one, desperate times etc

This has been absolutely embarassing, and horrendously predictable. Absolutely no chance whatsoever of the play offs, another chance going down the pan.

Doesnt help when the manager as we all know has spent 12m on 2 absolute donkeys. Brereton gets everyone excited by winning a couple of fouls last week but ultimately I cannot remember another Rovers player lacking composure and technical ability as much as that dolloper. Gallagher reverts back to being a useless winger, has done nothing bar pass up a superb chance because he has a touch like a donkey.

Travis has been irresponsible, woeful by Walton for the second, Rothwell has again been totally useless and ineffective and Bennett and Bell are defensive liabilities as we all know.

Exactly. We might stumble on a balanced formation with a bit of luck.

We essentially played that half with 10

[simongarnerisgod]

seriously needs a clear out in the summer,there are a dozen players in the squad who  ar`nt up to it in character or ability

[LDRover]

Don't get me wrong, I expected a bottle job but the extent of this no show is truly astounding.

There is nothing to take from that half, absolutely nothing.

As a defender, Bell is terrible

I agree but he has to make 2 though.

Johnson needs to come on in the middle and Brereton needs to be subbed and removed from professional football.

Though Bell was the better Rovers player this half. Attacking the flanks and putting in crosses. Bennett on the other hand, he's just useless.

The thing is, we all knew this before the match. Yet he was picked and made captain. And now here we are again. He has learned nothing this season.

[pick32]

Brereton, Rothwell need to be subbed. derby reserves battering us 2-0 flatters us. Wrong team started 

[RevidgeBlue]

To be fair I think Bell's been one of the very few who's been ok.

Thank God for Nyambe. He's got a broom up his arse trying to play CB and put fires out down the right because of the hapless Bennett.

[dallydally]

That was complete sh1t. So many poor performances out there. Rothwell, Brereton, Gallagher, Downing, Nyambe and Bell to name a few. Gutted (but not surprised)

[den]

Nyambe’s inexperience showing that half. Derby continually getting behind him. 

[G Somerset Rover]

Derby played on Thursday night while we’ve had 8 days rest. Let that sink in.

Ya,look I'm sure it's based on his experience and leadership behind the scenes. He's brutal. JRC should be there. 

Bennett just never seems to do the right thing,let alone anything ,what's the the word I am looking for, good.

Bennett should be off at half time but he won’t be.
