As robins basically implied, just play when they feel like it.

it’s not as likable a team as the ones we’ve had before
That’s a comment I made about these players a good while ago now. Glad he’s caught on.

Maybe by the turn of the year we’ll keep someone up at a corner and stop AAATB.

Some odd decisions there on the pitch. I can't get why they're so reluctant to get early crosses in from wide areas, especially in the last ten minutes when Derby were wobbling.

Instead we kept moving the ball inside and looking for some wonder pass - that last, final ball from Eccles (who had an otherwise decent game) as a case in point.

We never really have much to aim for in the box when we cross.

Yep, always trying to play the perfect pass. Just throw it in there where you're chasing a game late. Derby were so deep they'd have turned it over to us again anyway and you go again. Some odd decisions all night.

I got slated on here when I questioned the players effort levels.

Glad to see Robins agrees

Southgate’s England all over that performance.

Yeah, we'll be absolutely fine. Looks like we are going to be inconsistent all season though the way it's going.

Unless we can do something in January.

I wonder what the plan will be for next season?

Clueless, embarrassing, amateurish, utter, utter, utter dogshite.
That's my, I believe very accurate appraisal of Derby.
I have no adequate words to describe what I witnessed from us this evening.

Why is our technical area empty, there seems to be no instructions or coaching from the sidelines just staring at screens, Robins looks on in silence. Derby had 2 in theirs shouting and screaming instructions constantly

What's he going to do about it?

Some of them need a metaphorical kick up the arse.

Robins is always very calm and measured. I suspect that isn’t working on these players

I don’t understand why we aren’t using the fake goalie injury when the game is clearly going to shit and we all can see it. We must be the only team not doing what everyone else is by now.

How do you drill a winners mentality into a human ? Some have it some don't.

Vik for example has it

These players had it at Wembley. They had it at Wolves. They had it against Tottenham.

They have it when they choose to have it

Wright had two very good crosses come to him tonight and he fluffed both of them

Didn't even hit the target with either and he should have done. We need more bodies in there though.
