Derby doing what we need to get back to though.
Aided by feckin' awful defending. Both sides have given the ball away twice at the back in the first fifteen minutes. Cost Bristol, but Derby's defenders haven't really been any better.
Hull must have a few loans now
Good going forward - Sanderson in defence, though! Always cause for optimism.Derby have a very good away record. Will be one of our toughest remaining home games.

Ooooh terrifiedHmm… derby look good
Imagine them playing us with our non existent midfield
Typical Bristol. Absolutely clinical with what they had against us with their keeper having a worldie...Tonight they're prize puddings.Don't think Brizzle are coming back from this
There's a recurring theme with their transfer activityThey’ve signed 5 players in this window
Indeed they do. Hope this convincing win keeps their peckers up, ready to steam into the Tractors.Very happy to see Derby doing well. They have Ipswich at home next game
Unfortunately, these two fixtures look like a nailed on 6 points for Ipswich - you lot saw with your own eyes what Preston had to offer!Indeed they do. Hope this convincing win keeps their peckers up, ready to steam into the Tractors.
Furthermore the game isn't for 8 days, giving Derby plenty of time to rest and prepare.
Ipswich meanwhile in those days in between host Preston tomorrow, then travel to Pompey on Tuesday (which also gets that annoying game in hand out of the way)
Derby absolutely tearing in to Bristol City.
You mean Eustace’s Blackburn 2.0Derby absolutely tearing in to Bristol City.
Not the two recent home wins no? Or does it not fit with the doomed narrative?Derby making all the right moves with the ball. Think the last time I said that about us was Birmingham at home.

Birmingham at homeYou denying that we’re not half as smart, neat and decisive with the ball as we were earlier on? You’ve convinced me that you’re not watching our games.
Unfortunately you may well be correct.Unfortunately, these two fixtures look like a nailed on 6 points for Ipswich - you lot saw with your own eyes what Preston had to offer!
Rushworth is worth his weight in gold to you and every side needs to rely on their keeper in some games.Here's a stat that highlights our season and proves the worth of Rushworth but also shows we give up opportunities fairly easy considering we're top I wouldn't have expected this but it highlights just how poor our defensive game is and how wide open we are and makes some sort of sense around our current form for a top of the table team to own that stat proves we need to be a bit more compact and harder to beat because it's like teams don't even have to work that hard to create chances.
Based on xG on target faced (excl. own goals), Coventry’s Carl Rushworth has prevented more goals than any other goalkeeper in the Championship this season (+6.6 – 32 conceded from 38.6 xG on target).
Most definitely he is vitally important but it highlights the amount of chances we actually must be giving up for him to have that stat and a team top of the table should be limiting the opposition to bare minimum. There's only so many times your keeper can pull you out of the shit. The whole team need to work harder from the front and prevent the number of shots Rushworth is facing because it will eventually bite us on the backside it's already impacted our recent run of form. It's time we start being a bit more reserved and play a bit of staying compact and hit teams on the break just to build a bit of belief back up. I'll take 1 nil wins every day of the week for the last run of games certainly away from home.Rushworth is worth his weight in gold to you and every side needs to rely on their keeper in some games.
It's inevitable that when we don't win against a side lower down the league (basically Bristol and Watford this season more than any other) despite absolutely dominating the game that their keeper has a worldie
We may have a better defence and midfield than yourselves overall, but as fortune actual forwards and in goal you guys have the edge. Which is why we're in the market for a striker, even with Conway finally hitting some form and Strelec and Sene at long last coming back from injury.
We could well be top scorers in the league since Hellberg came in (though not sure about Derby after tonight though sod them as they've played 13) but even then that's because we don't tend to play with conventional 9's, we most often have wide strikers, who pincer in from the sides, before cutting it back towards midfielders advancing centrally to finish.

I'm not so sure. They've only won once away from home since November. Even Oxford beat them at their place. Yes they have Preston at home today but then the fun starts. If they can't turn around their away form the table will look very different by the end of the month.Unfortunately, these two fixtures look like a nailed on 6 points for Ipswich - you lot saw with your own eyes what Preston had to offer!
I expect nothing from the former and little from the latter.If Preston and Norwich could do us a big favour today, that would be much appreciated
