    Exactly the same as the 2014/15 season... everything

    Gone from being able to defend, to not being able to defend to save our lives, chopping and changing the team, we've now given up on defence and trying to outscore teams, drawing high score games, 1 win in 7 or 8, the collapse started against Norwich and we wont make the playoffs. Something is seriously wrong at this football club, the amount of times we press the self destruct button when in good positions is getting extremely fishy imo.

    I know people don't like it.... but mel morris has been here for all the collapses and it always seems to come back to him.

    I said after the 1-1 draw V Norwich we needed to beat Sheff Weds otherwise we'd collapse,,, we wont make the playoffs imo. 3 points from 12 against mediocre mid table teams (2 games at home) is pretty pathetic tbh,, we do this every season and tbh its no longer worth bothering with.

    Choked as usual and not bringing in attacking midfielders and decent fullbacks has cost us.

    Rowett has to take full responsibility for this collapse we are on a downfall now, automatic has gone and we are in danager of trying to stay in the play-offs, another calamity season on the horizon yet again for Derby County.

    But what has Mel Morris got to do with it, i know the buck ultimately stops at him but why is he to blame, he provides the finances he doesn't tell the players to score less and let more goals in does he

    Next four games don’t fall in our favour, we are at home to Fulham next, then away to QPR, then away to Forest then home to Cardiff, it’s a nightmare for us worrying times ahead indeed.

    I agree in respect of the failure to boost the midfield and fullbacks! These two obvious fault lines were always going to undermine us eventually. Also the lack of someone who has the faintest idea of what constitutes a quality ball into the box has further restricted our options!!
    It always boils down to the bottom line...'are you good enough??', well I think we now know the answer!!

    OOOOOOHHHHH speeding tickets don't get one of them, not £60 fines anymore, they're based on your net pay now and you get fined a % of that, my next door neighbour is on about 40k, got caught 36 in a 30 down in wales, the options were to sit a speed awareness course in the area you got caught in and pay £100 OR pay the fine and take the 3 points

    This is 65 in a 50 (allegedly), bloody dual carriageway in Notts. Not good...over four weeks ago too, thought I’d escaped. I blame the wife...always in a hurry to get away from IKEA.

    Back to topic and a few sides are getting the jitters. It's natural and the ones that can hold their nerve will succeed.

    Also worth pointing out that we are still one defeat in 14 games.

    Almost every side in the division is playing for something so no easy games.

    Be a gargantuan effort to make auto with our side and play offs will be a decent achievement.

    Think we'd have all taken where we are now after we lost 4-1 at Bristol City.

    Baird will now be suspended and I think the more athletic Wisdom will help. Also drop Olsson and get Anya in at left back. He did little wrong in that very short run of games he had.

    Last season Carson was POTS and again this season, certainly between Sheffield United away in August and the other night against Leeds he’s looked virtually faultless.
    Suddenly a few errors have crept in and our much admired defence suddenly seems to be conceding...seven in the last three?
    Carson has saved us many, many times thîs season so I’m not having a go, but it is unusual for a team to be genuinely ‘successful’ when their goalkeeper is regularly the best player.
    Maybe more important to look at the repeated lack of protection from midfield which hasn’t been addressed and, much as I value him, I do wish Rowett would stop going all negative in the last twenty minutes when, as it sounded again today, we’re much stronger when we ‘go’ for teams than sit back and try and hang on.
