Thing that stands out for me is the inconsistency. It feels like anything that's looked remotely like a penalty against us has been given, but we've had nearly as many penalty shouts at the other end of the pitch and been given only 1 of them.
The last two have been ridiculous. The referees seem to be saying that goalkeepers cannot defend the goal in a one-on-one situation, because even if they get the ball, if they subsequently collide with the attacker it's a foul. The assumption used to be that the goalkeeper was protected and in a collision the foul is given the other way.

Rotherham pal says they've had worse refs than we have. We both had a laugh yesterday at their player knocking it 10 yards out of play, then falling over and the ref giving a corner. Stunning performance

I think the big difference was the Derby keeper didn't touch O'Hare and Wilson clearly studded the Rotherham player's thigh. I think both decisions were correct.
I think Wilson has done really well for the last couple of games, but he has given away two penalties. I would imagine the majority of the remaining five penalties were given away by McFadzean.
We need to get a lot smarter in the box. Seem to be wising up generally with this side of the game but a few times I think we could’ve gone down in the box and we’ve tried to stay on our feet and struggle through.
