Be great to hear from those that went? From the dodgy stream I was watching Bruno looked like he had a cracking game...
Some high marks for a defence that is now our main problem. Aside of Stockdale, who is having a good season so far, the cracks are there for all to see. Greer and Dunk are struggling as a partnership. The captain's total lack of speed is being exposed at this level and Dunk is being turned inside out by a lot of players. Every game now he is shirt tugging to stop players going past him. Bruno is great going forward but is regularly caught out of position and is awful at defending. We have no decent left back at the moment. They are too slow, too immobile and undoing the good work of our midfield and forward players. Its five games now without a clean sheet and only six recorded in 20 games.
What a cameo from Ince. It was embarrassing, to say the least. In the few minutes he was on, he looked slow, ponderous, misplaced passes, mis-directed headers, failed to tackle any member of the opposition and then decided to rob us of victory by playing an appalling back-pass to Stockdale that was woefully underhit. Although Dunk stopped Tom Ince from scoring with a wonderfulchallenge, the subsequent corner resulted in a goal.
( Two corners, two goals for Derby )
From the stream it looked like a great team performance where players were dominant at times, less obvious at others. So 7 all round from me except:
Stockdale. Two excellent saves, no chance with the goals 8
Dunk. I'm not his biggest fan but he looked to be very good although his handball in the box looked more like a pen than the one Derby actually given (but that was a pen too) 8
Stephens. Sublime 9
Ince. Not sublime 3
Team 9
CH 9
But strangely not more than we are scoring!We're conceding too many......several more than the teams around us
