I didn't want us in the playoffs this season anyway!

Very balanced report MA.
We seem to have more than our fair share of ’scapegoaters’ at Derby. There’s no Keogh to have a go at now so attention seems to have shifted to Roos.
Trouble is goalkeepers, being so much closer to the crowd, are more prone to being undermined by such criticism.
Last thing we need when a much needed reaction is called for from the whole team on Wednesday night.

Wednesday night - is that for another team bonding evening?

Fans on phones laughing with their mates as we're 3-0 down lol

Bet you were angry with Ramage while in your armchair listening to RD Instead of getting of your arse and actually going to a match

Malone was fine defensively and was our best player going forward. Shinnie was below the levels he showed against Luton but still playing well. Paterson was busy without creating much. Martin had done nothing wrong but he had received no good ball and was a pretty frustrated figure.

By FT, Roos was still catching balls playing the sweeper role and was not at fault for either goal IMO. Malone was still our best attacker. Martin was still waiting for that one decent ball.......

In the end, it's Molly for me, just.

What I didn't get yesterday was the post match Facebook fury thrown at Roos. Slated uphill and down dale. What did he actually do wrong yesterday? Not a lot that I saw. The most comments were about him not catching balls, He did quite a bit of that yesterday.

Of the 3 subs, Holmes was a shadow of his usual self, FloJo was much improved but still not of the necessary level, Bennett put himself about, got into a great position and got the ball stuck under his feet which saw him push it too far forward, still got a shot in that forced a save from their keeper (our first proper effort of the game and it was the 86th minute). IMO he should have tried to chip the keeper, not go hard and low.

The game can be summed up for me in that 34th minute moment when they attacked, Cullen wandered through, nowhere near sprinting Bogle and I think it was Bielik both went to the man with the ball allowing Cullen a free pass into the area. The ball was played through to him and Roos came out got a touch on the shot and diverted it wide of his near post. Charlton didn't have to be good to win yesterday, it was handed to them on a plate.

MA can't believe your not blaming Roos for the second goal ,he got nowhere near a bread and butter cross, Boater admitted he knew Roos was weak on crossess ,apart from that nothing he could do about the other goals First one Bogle (who can't defend) fault Sat one worldy but Shinnie misplaced pass Martin was back to his most idle easy to say he had no service but he could try moving and give an option to the player in the ball The team has gone backwards with him in it At least with Waghorn up front he upsets defenders and makes things happen Martin on his game is a good player but the same as Lawrence most of the time they don't contribute What did Lawrence do yesterday FA another booking ,couple of fights and that's his lot What a player who admits he's alcohol dependent because of his confidence issues is doing in the first team is a joke

He did go for it. He didn't get it. He was blocked by a combo of Bonne and Malone so not altogether his fault. More to blame was Davies, and he said so himself, for losing Sarr leaving him a free header at the back stick.

FB eejits are blaming him for their 3rd as well, saying he was on the 6 yard line. He was 4 yards off his line narrowing the angle. Exactly where he should have been. Caught a lot of crosses yesterday and punched a couple. Looks like that has been worked on.

Keepers have the added difficulty that an error, all too often, leads to a goal...... far more visible than errors by outfield players.

Sorry boys but we've lost our 3 best (loan) players, what did we expect? Losing Carson also a massive mistake. We will have to rebuild, and it will take time. Let's not chuck another manager on the fire.

Agree with that.

Would help a lot if Marriott was available imo. Expected him back after the break but not even on the bench yesterday. Anyone know what’s what?

Ask don't think anybody is blaming the manager just yet His hands are tied with squad he's inherited plus injuries to main players Huddleston Keogh and Marriott But he made a massive mistake yesterday starting the game with only two recognised midfielders is football suicide away from home There's no way Patterson can be called a midfielder
