Seriously??
Seriously??Shipley only touched the ball twice in the second half.......TWICE!
well actually no, we aren't in one of either of those. Others have rightly left as we have risen why does that not apply to Shipley? And moreto the point why does he still keep getting picked?Because of his performances in league 1 and league 2. Is that OK?
Terrifying stay. Wilson probably touched it 15-20??Shipley only touched the ball twice in the second half.......TWICE!
Don't agree about Kelly. He cleans up and gives the defence an out ball so it is his job to play the way he is facing much of the time. However when he has space he isn't afraid to play a decisive ball forward, which we have seen in the games since his return. One of the most positionally intelligent players we have.

Corrected for youShipley looked dead after 5th minute.
Ha ha ha...made me laugh thatCannot be claiming o’hare had a bad game. Yes should have don’t better with one chance but he’s literally trying to link a midfield that is sitting on their own 18 yard box and a striker who is so on the shoulder of the last man he may as well be a Parrot

Isn’t that almost exactly what I’ve said?What ? He’s literally just returned from
An acl
I love football opinions! Dabo is a hero but was bowfin tonight. Wilson and Fadz were sooopoib.Wilson 7
Dabo 7
McFadzean 7
Hyam 8
McCallum 6
Kelly 7
Hamer 8
Shipley 6
O’hare 7 learn to head a ball lad
Giles 7 couldn’t get into the game
Walker 7 unlucky with offside goal
Mariah had better hurry back or he will be losing his pla ce.!
Agreed he’s been very goodGiven how he was slaughtered and written off by many without getting a chance I really think that Wilson has not been praised enough probably people would lose face too much if overly praise but he has been very good last two games and produced some great saves!
O’Hare is massively over rated

He missed 2 sitters, but even so he didn't play well because as you say the formation and the set of players didn't work. Did he have a poor game, yes. Is it his fault/is he a poor player, no.Cannot be claiming o’hare had a bad game.

Im not a massive McCallum fan if im honest, but he didn't look 100% tonight, he looked tired. Dont think it helped his cause that he was virtually doing it alone all night as Shipley offered no support of any sort, he may aswell of not been on the pitch.Let’s not forget just how bad McCallum was tonight
I’m not a huge fan myself prefer Giles problem is we went into this league with no proper left back as we done the budget on 532 using wing backsIm not a massive McCallum fan if im honest, but he didn't look 100% tonight, he looked tired.

We did have a LB in Mason, then shipped him off and loaned back McCallum.I’m not a huge fan myself prefer Giles problem is we went into this league with no proper left back as we done the budget on 532 using wing backs
We think we only had 1.2 on the expected goals index for last night
I find myself saying it every game, but we need to take our fucking chances. Each week there seems to be a couple of players deciding to have their turn at fucking up at the vital moment.
Whilst O'Hare was the main culprit today, at least he was making an effort. It makes me a fraction less pissed off but it still isn't good enough. Obviously Shipley has been covered. McCallum was terrible. The rest of the defence and keeper were fine. Giles a bit absent. Kelly underrated. Hamer I actually didn't think was at his best but that finish speaks for itself. I know Walker didn't get a lot of service but he was just walking around most of the time.
Robins got it all wrong second half. That was my real gripe.
Thats my reflection too.No player above a 6 for me and that’s exactly why it’s a problem with the formation. No one seemed to know their job or where their team mates would be. No clear balls out of defence so we just lumped it up to Walker all day. If that’s the game you’re playing you’ve got to play Baka on his own up front. But that shouldn’t be the game you’re playing. Made Derby look like Barcelona last night by sitting off back to the 18 yard line.
Slept on it. Still think it’s garbage and I won’t be celebrating bore draws against teams we should be beating and will have to to stay up.
Wilson: 7 - Held his own in the last two games so I have to take my hat off to him.
Dabo: 6 - He was beaten a couple of times and failed to get up the pitch enough, but overall he was OK. I think with the amount of games he's played in after being rushed back it did look like he was starting to feel it last night.
McFadz: 7 - Did well to deal with their 120 crosses. They were a real threat on the wings and he dealt with the majority brilliantly
Hyam: 7 - Same as the above.
McCallum: 4 - That was certainly a game to forget. Constantly beaten, did little to close down the cross for the goal and did nothing going forward. Some posters have indicated that he might have had a knock which at least explains the poor performance but if that was the case you have to ask why Robins didn't bring him off as he was quite clearly struggling.
Kelly: 6 - I thought our midfield struggled to get a foothold in the game. Kelly did what he does well and provided a calm influence in what was probably the scrappiest part of the pitch at times. Protected the back line well.
Shipley: 4 - I don't think there's anything more to say regarding his performance. Anonymous all game. I feel he needs a rest.
O'Hare: 6 - I think his misses are clouding people's judgement. He was in the mix and getting into the positions. As shown last season he's not a clinical player so personally I can't begrudge him too much.
Hamer: 7 - Some of his passes in the first half were questionable, but he was an engine throughout and was constantly trying to thread passes through. A well taken goal also. His technique is flawless at times.
Giles: 5 - Put a good cross in for O'Hare but I thought he struggled last night. Whilst he was anonymous for large parts of the game, on reflection one of his main issues was he was matched for pace by their LB (I think) and as a result getting forward was nigh on impossible.
Walker: 6 - A really well taken disallowed goal. He works tirelessly to try and get on the end of things/close down but I feel one up top is a bit of a lost cause at times.
Robins: 5 - I understood the tactics behind utilising this formation for the previous few games as they have all played with electric wingers who like to put crosses in and possibly with exception to Norwich due to injuries, all have a goal scoring target man who can punish most sides in the division. Derby play a similar style quite clearly but taking into account that they are the worst scoring side in the league, this was a game that we needed to take to them and start on the front foot. Even if it meant us conceding (which as I've previously stated is more likely with our usual formation) I honestly believe that if we put them under any kind of pressure (as shown with Hamer's goal) we would've at the very least outscored them.
Agree with all of thisNo player above a 6 for me and that’s exactly why it’s a problem with the formation. No one seemed to know their job or where their team mates would be. No clear balls out of defence so we just lumped it up to Walker all day. If that’s the game you’re playing you’ve got to play Baka on his own up front. But that shouldn’t be the game you’re playing.

We conceded anyway. We simply aren’t good enough to sit back and absorb constant pressure for 90 minutes.
