How fans reacted:
Think we were a world apart from Derby in the first half. Imo it was us not showing up rather than Derby coming to life. Pretty devastating considering how winnable that game was come kick off. Great performance in the first half and a lot to learn from. Must do better as capable

Better performance, played with some purpose but same old story wasted chances, going to sleep for 10 mins in the game

Same as always. Should have been 2 or 3 up but can't take the chances. They had a couple and scored them.

I agree with you, we were better first half, after they equalised we just couldn't keep the ball & spend no real time in their half..think the change in formation with Swift off Bod helped, personally I prefer 4-4-2.
