We should have been able to expect our first home win from this game; instead we had a disappointing performance and a result that is not good enough. The stats for passes completed must be horrendous and we generated nothing from the middle. Our players seemed to just want to hoof the ball as soon as they got it without looking up and waiting for the receiving player to get into position. While this may be acceptable for defenders under pressure it not good enough from our centre midfield.

The hoofing of long balls forward from deep midfield when there are no opponents threatening the player on the ball is the wrong choice and Barton was guilty of this most of the game. His pasing conversion rate must have been very poor and I feel unless he can improve his creativity he is the wrong player in this position. I would have replaced him with Buzsaky at half time and brought on Taarabt at the same time. The only player we had prepared to carry the ball prior to the too late changes were SWP and Mackie and they were heavily attended by opponents and left with few options except HH who had a fairly good game. Even Derry gave the ball away too often in this game and He and Faurlin's interpassing accross the pitch does not lead to anything unless they can make an eventual pass to someone with creative ability. Faurlin played quite well, Derry was under par. HH had a good game and Paddy saved us a couple of times and Luke Young looked good. Warnock seems to blame Fitz Hall for the goal, but he is playing with an injury so he can't take all the blame. If we still had Gorkss and if Perone was good enough to play perhaps our defence would be stronger. I'm beginning to wonder if our team and manager are up to the job of keeping us up and fear we should check if our scoreboard can handle double digit opponents scores next Sunday unless both tactics and performance improve.

Worst performance of season (at home anyway) Agree that the sooner someone gives Homer Simpson a list of train times back to Luton the better (Total waste of space) Should have commanded game once they went down to 10 men. Only one real shot on goal in 2nd half and that was jonah's goal (not sure who his post goal rant was aimed at?) It will be interesting to see the outcome of next Saturdays fixture when the team with the lowest goal tally entertain the team with arguably the leagues most dodgy defence!!!

No really poor performances. Just far too many average or below average ones.
My one positive from yesterday is that I'm certain we'll finish above Blackburn. We can play a lot better, I don't think they can play better than they did yesterday.

It was the first time I have just been totally fed up at a home game. We didn't play as a team and certainly didn't appear to want to play for the manager. Tutte is not a player who can take hold of midfield like JK or BBM which what was needed after the sending off. We miss Widdowson more than I expected and need some-one who can command the back, now realise how good Dawson was in leading Holness last year. I agree that B-H should be shown the door and if SE is to stay, he needs to be banging on the chairmans door to be able to bring in a better class of player (who doesn't have to have City connections!!).

Great stuff - should have had more goals and buried them but top of the league by 5 points. Bring on Reading

Hi. How on earth can one expect to win when Derby dont have a striker!!!!!!!! A cheap owner who wont even spend a few pennies on a striker,seems to be the problem!

0

yet another fiasco with SE in charge - we concede 3 to the bottom of the league!!

We start with 3 strikers and again no place for JK or BBM - when will he learn ( never is my thought so he must go, and soon)

Very poor performance with some individual shockers but in the end we could have pinched it with enough chances.

Couldn't wish for a better win! This beats beating the scum 3-0 11 v 11 LOL

Anton Ferdinand with maybe THE best centre half performance by a QPR centre back, a 10'er today.

Glad to finally get that monkey off our back (home win)!

YOU R's!
