Don’t worry, we’ll probably turn over Sunderland

Really really want to say fuck you to Ringofsteel and co regarding the absolute pelters I've taken on here after Luton, however it doesn't feel right dining out on us being shit

Maybe people may realise we're a poor side this year and wins against sides with 10 men don't change that

I did think the pile on was a bit premature and unfortunately seems like I was right and the two game turnaround was more of an anomaly.

There's still plenty of points to play for but it's going to be an uphill struggle with this team.

We couldn't create any momentum tonight as though we had been on the booze all day. Serious questions about that. Picked the wrong team to start. Torp should have been in from the start. There was no flow to our play with players playing in unfamiliar roles. Yes two fluke goals but we failed to ever look like we were going to rise to a storming finsih. So many poor performances as though they did not know what formation they were playing. We just rolled over. Very frustrating after Saturday especially. We all expected a convincing win and 27k went home feeling cheated, and I can't blame them. Best hope this was a one off.

We need experience in the squad badly.

Pissing Alan Browne around has fucked us immeasurable and that was a MR not DK issue.

So many things I want to say after that…Normal service resumes!? I feel like this season maybe we just need to accept it’s not going to be the promotion push we thought it might be.

Poor showing from the start, sort of game where you need a few individuals to step up and pull us over the line and there was a serious lack of urgency

Sheaf - Just doesn’t look interested at all.

Another game where we’ve gone a goal down at home and been completely shut out. Frustrating lack of a plan B for me.

Time wasting again was just a joke - what happened to the 13 minutes added in

Just a ridiculous opinion. We would’ve scored 3/4 if we’d started the team that finished the match.

Swansea, Sheff W and now fucking Derby. All lost 2-1, all terrible performances but I think tonight edges them for being the worst of the lot.

At home we’ve won 2 and lost 4, and the opposition have had it easy 4/6 times. These players are so inconsistent, so weak and so brittle I’m still unconvinced they will get the 12 extra wins we need to reach 50 points. Robins standing there watching for a full hour changing nothing back to his usual mistakes too.

Sunderland will humiliate these wasters on Saturday.

I just always think there is an overreaction in here when we lose.

We didn't play well. We gifted them a goal and it made the task that much harder.

We should have had two penalties though. That would have turned the game.

It was poor tonight, but that doesn't mean we are a poor side in general. Just were tonight.

Before this we just beat Luton and Middlesbrough. Two very good sides.

Don't think Dovin did a lot wrong tonight, but Johansson had another brilliant game for Stoke tonight, that's who I'd have signed I think.

Absolute wank from the off ! Another demonstration of how poorly we bought.
Dovin, no better than we had.
BTE, headless chicken
Mason Clarke, bang average
Rudoni, always wants too many touches
Players bought to hopefully turn a profit….none will !!
A squad full of players in a shop window….. but no actual team !

Not sure how you’re getting Dovin in there - he was fine.

We clinging on in the second half until Boro tired.

If I'm honest, the players are lacking so much confidence at home.

Really disappointed with the tactical set up tonight. Derby were woeful. No need to play 5 at the back. If you do it has to be Torp in behind. But as poor as the first half was the overall scenario is nowhere near as bleak as some here are portraying. Derby parked the bus and got two rank goals. We looked better with the right formation. Frustrating it took so long to work out.

Im a massive MvE fan but he’s fucking me off as well, always cutting back, a ball out to him is entirely pointless. Just check back every time killing all momentum.

2 lucky goals for them, 2 poor sides tonight. Robins needs to change things quicker than he does, but he rarely does. Back 4 worked better. MVE and Saka down that right is our best outlet.

Goalkeeper is a disastrous signing.
Defence clearly have no confidence in him, communication from him shocking, presence and stature non existent. Will be the undoing of us this year.

This is the point I'm trying to make

Got absolutely leathered on here for days, off the back of 2 wins against teams with 10 men

It's not enjoying us being shit, it's throwing it back at those who joined a pile on

Think he's more making point that he shouldn't be shouted down for saying we ain't v good.

Don't get tme wrong I disagree with him alot and he is proven wrong sometimes but right now it's silly to pretend this club is good or bad based on solely results. The performances are not there it's that simple. Win draw or lose.

This is exactly what I'm trying to say

I enjoy us losing though apparently, I spend hundreds to thousands a year on the club wanting us to be shit apparently....

Luton are not a very good side mate and Middlesbrough are an ok side that had 10 men.
It's not an overreaction. Our home form particularly is shameful.

Were poor more often than were not and Middlesbrough was against ten men.

Which wasn't? The Thomas one, or the EMC one?

The defender flattened Thomas and the second one, the defender pushed Mason-Clark to the floor

He's been fine for a young keeper. There were a million other reasons to feel pissed off after tonight. Now's not the time to slag him off.
