Terrible terrible goal to concede. Got to up our game 2nd half if we are to get anything out of the game.

Think @Brighton Sky Blue was right we went to their level for a decent portion of that half .

We should really have scored but I still fancy us to get something , wright looks like a player thats been our for a while

They just know we are shaking with balls in the box so giving away stupid free kicks is not wise. We can get joy in wide areas but need to just show more quality with the final ball but got to keep giving it wide. Allen, Bassette and EMC on if we want something from this. Cant won font lose.....

What an awful half of football that was! They look like they all met for the first time in the tunnel coming out for kick off! It's like we are feeling sorry for Derby so said we'll play at their level to give them a chance! Fucking awful all over. And there's nobody on the bench filling me with confidence that they'll come on and change it. Outside of dragging Wright for EMC I don't see anyone on that bench improving this performance

Not exactly inspiring. Feels a bit like possession for the sake of it sometimes .

Simms simply isn't a great target man, it just doesn't stick to him, and he looks ponderous imho. Wright also looks a long way off his best.

We can turn it around, but it will need a lot more aggression and purpose...

Pass and move is how you beat shite like this, trying to lump it up to a target man is bread and butter for them.

Unfortunately the pitch isn't good enough to play pass and move.

Started quite promising, created a few openings, then gradually got suckered into playing their game. All they've got is the optimistic punts into the box.

As many have said, too many below par performances; Kitching, Bidwell, Wright, Eccles…

Amateur/Sunday league defending at the free kick for their goal.

Pitch is awful for this day and age, but obviously the same for both sides.

Step up in quality needed 2nd half.

Eccles and Torp are giving us nothing in midfield. Game is passing them by.

Yeah, this. Passing is harder on that surface but we managed it fine for a fair while. Trust Frank to sort it.

First 10 minutes they were clearly uncomfortable with us moving the ball quickly into the flanks. Quite simply just do more of that and send balls into the box.

Wright way off it - he’s not the best at other parts of the game so if his high intensity runs/turns aren’t up to scratch he’s less effective.

Bidwell poor, but he has never been great in possession. Really looking forward to a new Lb

Just isn't what we're looking for from that position, he needs to be full of confidence to be a threat and we need more consistency than that.

This will be a very diferent second half folks. Stay with it, we can come out on top. Draw would be fine.

Not too dissimilar to many of our recent performances. Only difference is that we haven't nicked a goal.
Another poor goal conceded.
Writing been on the wall performance wise for a result like this for a while.
Big second half needed. Question is, have we got it in us?

Frustrating watch. Just wasteful everywhere in their half. Need to attack the ball rather than waiting for it. Bidwell has had an absolute stinker but being done no favours by Wright. Dasilva and EMC?

If we haven't turned it round by 60 I think Allen will be on to inject some intensity
