BBC Match Report. "Holmes' flicked, close-range finish to open the scoring in the 36th minute was Derby's first goal from open play for 17 and a half hours."
Is this team as, comparatively, as bad as the 2007-8 PL team who at least managed over half a goal a game

No. We have championship quality players this season. "That Season", we didn't have any Premier League quality players.
I'm almost finding this season amusing, our management, I include Mel, are a joke.
In terms of strikers, I don't understand why we don't play 2 up front, it's not like our midfield are going to score many.
I said it last week, we are way less than the sum of our parts, and thats a management/coaching issue not a player issue.Quote:

Richards was knackered and should, in hindsight, probably have been subbed earlier. Holmes (Lawro too) had his best game of the season IMO.Quote:

I would have taken anyone BUT those two off, accepting CKR was flagging. He popped a ******* for the cause yesterday and actually seems to have a skill we've been moaning about since Martin left, holding the ball and laying it off. Waghorn looked clueless by comparisonQuote:
