    That is never a pen in a million years. Ref should have booked Ebiowei in the first half and maybe that dive wouldn;t happen this time.

    One piece of exceptional quality has been the difference and we're managing the game better since it. Derby's threat is all down our left through Byrne and Ebiowei. Would be tempted to go Waghorn for Shipley too.

    We are quite a predictable side - we have no raw pace anywhere in the team and no height outside of the back 3 and Gyokeres, who isn't that great in the air anyway for a guy of his size. I think it's a symptom of the formation too. 3 CBs and two deeper midfielders means you're getting a maximum...

    As @Frostie says it's difficult to pinpoint a single cause, which in part is because the problem is a double edged sword - the issue has been at both ends of the pitch. To focus on why we concede first means we equally have to look at why we don't score first often enough. Only Peterboro and...

    He should wake up happy every day that he wasn't born in the 1950s because then there would be a very high chance he might have been called Ernie McBurnie.

    If we'd scored 8 today I'm not sure it would have flattered us.

    They are absolutely punch drunk. Their defence is desperate for the game to end.

    That touch in the box from O'Hare was so good. His first touch is always very good. This is the O'Hare we all want him to be.

    Think his runs today have been a big factor in Gyo's performance, it's meant Gyo has been able to get 1 on 1 with the 3rd CB a lot.

    Good thing is the 3rd goal should stop us defending from our own 6 yard box for the last 20 mins too. Not sure my heart could have taken that today.

    Ref looked desperate for Sheffield to clear that off the line too. Already looked over the line before it hit the defender a second time.

    This game has got City to batter them 2nd half without scoring and Billy Sharp to score an 86th minute winner written all over it.

    There's no way you can be sure that was an intentional back pass. Ridiculous.

    Egan beaten very easily by Gyokeres there, that was a much better strike than his goal. Has Egan not seen any videos of Gyokeres special move?
