MATCHWATCH : Derby County (a)

[South Coast Royal]

Bring Dann for the second half. Take off Tetek and Yiadom back to right back.

That looks sensible even if Tetek doesn't turn out to have been injured.
Some good interplay going forward again-midfield is currently our best area of the team right now (and of course the less injured)

I thought that the cross for the goal could have been blocked by Rahman and the looping header seemed to catch Southwood out.
Puscas ?
The ball never seems to stick to him and once he just kind of got in the way of Swift in the area.
Unless he scores I can see Junior coming on with about 1 minute to go (well, we do tend to be slow with subs).

[Simon's Church]

Don't think we have been too bad but Derby have looked pretty good. Well organised defensively and looked to target our full backs.

They’ve definitely done their homework, preventing us from playing out from the back. Hopefully we can step it up in the second half.

[One Beer is never enough.]

Tetek having a bit of a mare.

I disagree, up until the goal, his tenacity, passing and movement were really impressive, however, he made a horrendous mistake for the goal - getting beaten far too easily, which is easy to understand seeing as it's not his position.

Was beaten a couple of times in the air in the box, then obviously there was the goal. Since then he’s lost possession a few times with sloppy bits of play. Not slating him or saying it’s not understandable just saying it as I see it.

Likewise - just before the goal I was about to post how well I thought he was doing (a few good overlaps with Halilovic); wouldnt have aged well... funny what different people see...

[CountryRoyal]

Looking sloppy second half so far.

[Needle]

Folk have been calling for Puscas to start

[Orion1871]

Who knew an offside player preventing a defender from getting the ball would result in a free kick for the defending team? Certainly not the bright minds of Derby County fans.

[Bristol Paul]

Looking sloppy second half so far.

Yep, really sloppy

Folk have been calling for Puscas to start

Looks absolutely lost.

[Brogue]

Well the deduction derby is living up to its name this is really quite poor.

[windermereROYAL]

Somebody tell them the 2nd half started 10 minutes ago please.

[tidus_mi2]

Halilovic stop oxf*rd shooting.

[leon]

Still not looking good. Derby finding it easy to pass through us. A really lazy performance from what ive seen.

[CountryRoyal]

Halilovic is premier league dribbling and league two shooting.

Puscas off for Hoilet. Decent sub Pauno.

[Ascotexgunner]

Amazing. The croation can play a Steven Gerrardesque crossfield pass....but ask him to shoot and and it's like Douglas Bader.

[genome]

Halilovic is premier league dribbling and league two shooting.

I guess that evens out to bottom half Championship level

Which seems about right

[WestYorksRoyal]

Bit relieved we're not going on a run of 6 or 7 wins tbh, as discussions on here have led me to believe that those results don't count.

[Tails]

Good save, we’re starting to come into this.

Fair play to Pauno for early subs, hopefully this shift in momentum continues.
