Yeah, we'll be absolutely fine. Looks like we are going to be inconsistent all season though the way it's going.

Unless we can do something in January.

We need to strengthen the midfield in January else we could be in big trouble

It would be fucking dreadful, but I have my doubts these wasters can manage it. 12 more wins to hit 50 points, and 50 wasn’t even enough last season from memory.

We have to many mediocre players, if you've lost this many home games already and can't beat QPR and Derby then you're in trouble

As robins basically implied, just play when they feel like it.

it’s not as likable a team as the ones we’ve had before

Right now I'd just take staying forget about play offs as much chance of that as Kier Starmer not taking freebies.

That’s a comment I made about these players a good while ago now. Glad he’s caught on.

Maybe by the turn of the year we’ll keep someone up at a corner and stop AAATB.

Some odd decisions there on the pitch. I can't get why they're so reluctant to get early crosses in from wide areas, especially in the last ten minutes when Derby were wobbling.

Instead we kept moving the ball inside and looking for some wonder pass - that last, final ball from Eccles (who had an otherwise decent game) as a case in point.

We never really have much to aim for in the box when we cross.

Yep, always trying to play the perfect pass. Just throw it in there where you're chasing a game late. Derby were so deep they'd have turned it over to us again anyway and you go again. Some odd decisions all night.

I got slated on here when I questioned the players effort levels.

Glad to see Robins agrees

Clueless, embarrassing, amateurish, utter, utter, utter dogshite.
That's my, I believe very accurate appraisal of Derby.
I have no adequate words to describe what I witnessed from us this evening.

How do you drill a winners mentality into a human ? Some have it some don't.

Vik for example has it

Why is our technical area empty, there seems to be no instructions or coaching from the sidelines just staring at screens, Robins looks on in silence. Derby had 2 in theirs shouting and screaming instructions constantly

Some of them need a metaphorical kick up the arse.

Robins is always very calm and measured. I suspect that isn’t working on these players

It's not about having winners mentality. Do you think Derby have a winners mentality? They fight though, and they have a game plan. We have absolutely fuck all at the moment. It's dire.

I don’t understand why we aren’t using the fake goalie injury when the game is clearly going to shit and we all can see it. We must be the only team not doing what everyone else is by now.

These players had it at Wembley. They had it at Wolves. They had it against Tottenham.

They have it when they choose to have it

Wright had two very good crosses come to him tonight and he fluffed both of them

Didn't even hit the target with either and he should have done. We need more bodies in there though.

They have it sometimes , but too many of them are fragile with egos that don't match their ability

They have it when nothing’s expected of them or there’s nothing riding on the game.
