there's no point in having forwards/centre forwards/strikers etc if you dont try to score

Clough is just too negative once we lose a few. He dies not know how to turn it around which is what separates the good managers from the bad. Can't see where the next 3 points are coming from myself.

Been saying the same for a while and also mentioned it again to my son whilst watching, never see/hear Methgod any more. He even used to do post match interviews.

Many credit him with being largely responsible for the purple patch we had last season. Doncaster away (particularly 1st half) was the best I have ever seen a DCFC side play in 35+yrs.

Apparently NC and him had a fall-out shortly afterwards which co-incided with our loss of form last season .

For that matter we don't see Crosby either much these days.

I played against Garner as a kid but, most poinietly, in a game last year (on PP pitch). He was virtually a cripple and could hardly kick a ball. Truly inspiring. Not.

Baz - did you get your youngster to the pub?

No wonder we lost with a measly 3 shots on goal all game! One way traffic second half!

The reason why it was one way traffic....... is because Sam changed his tactics in the second half to 4-3-3. Question is, has Nigel Clough got a plan B up his sleeve?

View, no I didn't sadly. Making up for it as I write in a curry house now though collecting a takeaway and having a pint whilst watching Footie .

Where did you go to watch match?

I think that's a good point, Wassa, about a Plan B. I don't think it was bad idea to start 5-4-1, but conceding before HT was crucial.

It was always going to be difficult tonight, injured players returning but not quite up to speed (Brayford, Barker, Bailey & Green plus Priskin making his first start). Injuries have robbed us of our frontline*.

Lets put tonight's game in context, we lost to the second-placed side away, boosted by the news of Southampton's defeat. It's how we do against Brighton & Palace now that matters.

But I also think it's a fair point that we need a more physical type of frontman.

* I heard someone on BBC Derby say one of the most stupidest things I've ever heard, moaning about 'sicknote' S. Davies. I'm sure he'd rather be playing than having 10 metal plates put in his head after a serious 5 hour operation.

4-5-1

if metgods got any sense he would be managing a club somewhere,if the yanks had any sense it would be derby county

Ilson-Ram harsh on Roberts. Normally I am Roberts biggest critic, but tonight I thought he had a reasonable game. In my opinion Ward, Roberts and Fielding were the only plus points.

I am not going to criticise the rest of the players as most of the team coming back from injury or new but was a poor performance in the second half. However it was against a strong, direct team heading back to the premiership, it can only get better.

How many more members are going to say that same thing

Wassa perhaps I am trying to be positive but fail to see how it can get much worse. 12 points from first 4 weeks, 12 points from last 14, 1 win in last 10 makes very bleak reading.

I have got to believe it is getting better soon. If I had my way I would change the manager, and possibly the board, but it is not going to happen.
