3-0 full time and the post saved us from another two going in.

I can't see much light in that match. We are getting worse not better. I expected 2-0 so it was worse than expected.

Even our passing went to pot in the second half. After 20 minutes I thought it might be ten.

I think I saw more than a few signs away at Norwich.

Millwall is a must win match now. Always was.

This was the worst result of the season mathematically and last weeks was the worst result so far in terms of confidence. Normally I would say they've still got a good chance of escaping because of the poor form of other teams but, yes they seem to have found a new low.

Strangers on the Pitch

Predict score: 2-0
Predict Possession: 54 - 46% Shots 14 (7)- 8 (2) Corners 10-2. MOM: Stockdale.

Albion team:

Stockdale
Bruno Dunk Greer J.Bennett
Holla Ince Forster-Caskey
Gardner
E.Bennett Bent

Subs: Walton, Calderón, Halford, Hughes, Lualua, Baldock, March.

Possibles: Teixeira (instead of Halford), McCourt.

Stats: 3-0

Poss 55-45% Shots 18 (8) - 11 (0) Corners 4-4

Slightly worse than expected, probably because of the team selection.

For me the worse thing is I cannot see any signs of improvement, just a gradual erosion of what we were doing well before like passing.

As predicted, Derby had 9 out of 11 players better than ours with the exception of Bruno and Ince that had parity. The real test will be against Millwall.

As predicted from the beginning the midfield was much too lightweight. The fulcrum of the diamond with Teixeira was never going to work. We need someone who is comfortable on the ball.

Not as bad as watching Sunderland though.

I think Bruno was underscored again. Martin (Derby) MOM. Dunk 7.6 Albion MOM.

I am reserving judgement on Hyypia until after the Millwall game.

It looked to me although not enough research was done on the Derby team with our team selection. As predicted, any team that can overrun us in midfield and it is just how many goals they are going to score.

Derby much better at passing as well as creating chances:

All the rest was fine, but that sentence left me gobsmacked. Really?

We were always going to lose this one. They have better players.

Excuse doesn't wear if we lost to Millwall. Or even of we win and our performance does not improve.
