MATCHWATCH : Derby County (a) sponsored by new year realism setting in

[Hound]

A huge few weeks coming up then. Fulham is going to be tough followed by some very winnable home games against the likes of Cardiff and Brentford

Need to take the positives from this one and hopefully get at least a point on tuesday

Don't we always lose against Brentford though?

And Fulham

But then we supposedly always win at Derby

Not beaten those tinpot twats at home in years. We've not beat Cardiff at home since 2005 either. We are well overdue stuffing one of those 2 if not both!

Now now, you're in danger of going a bit south coast Barcelona there.

Yeah lets not sound like Brighton...

Obita off for a second yellow and suspended for Fulham. Silly boy.

And we desperately need his pace against Fredericks for Fulham. He is dangerous!

Bookings came today as couldn't handle the pace. Poor decision making.

The first one was a good decision, the second was foolish.

Just noticed we play 3 times before Newcastle play next. Win all 3 and we'll be 3 points off top potentially

Thought the Derby player was already falling over before Obita touched him but need to see replay

[lewesroyal]

Just seen the highlights, what the oxford happened for the second!!?? Obita's second yellow was silly too. Why lay hands on in that circumstance

If you let in 3 or even 2 every game it don't matter how good your strikers the chances are you will either lose or draw most of them.
if defence isn't the problem then something is wrong with midfield.
If Yann has to play a defensive role for most of the game then the whole formation needs to be re examined.
