    How they are in lower third is beyond me. Top end Championship players mixed with players who just were not quite good enough for Prem.

    Thought there use of the ball and movement was frightening at times. When they turned screw at start at second half they killed us till they got the goal, talk about scoring when you are having your best spell.

    Also how they closed out that last 4 mins was Man Cityesque

    For what's it worth Derby don't pass and move as good as that I tell thi

    You're in for a bit of a shock, Sunday. Unfortunately.

    Bolton were no great shakes. But then, I could say the same about 90% of the sides we've faced.

    Trouble is, we're the worst side in the division.

    Whitey, you ain't only one that watches other teams. I pay close attention to all 4 divisions and watch a lot of Championship games

    I've seen Derby a few times, most recently against. Blackpool.

    There is nothing there to be fearful of, don't get sucked in by the wins under McClaren, we can do em

    No shock waiting for me

    They've managed to go 8 unbeaten but in 5 of those, they've let a goal in. If we take our chances, we can ave em!

    Never suggested I was the only one who did so. I've only seen them live once, and Boro were the better side until a red card cost them. But they certainly pass and move as well as any in the division.

    Nowt to fear, I agree. But I've said that all season.

    Hope we turn up - to a man - for the whole 90 minutes.

    The 10 to 15 minutes before they scored they were just about unplayable. Best I've seen from any opposition this season. Fortunately for us, they couldn't do it for the whole game and to be fair to us, we stopped them and gave them something to think about. I thought we were very unlucky over the 90 minutes, but for that period in the second half they were excellent.

    They weren't unplayable...they swapped from first half hoofball to utilising the strengths of good players they have,the mistake was on Danny's part(and I'm not having a go,because the players are still new to him)for not bringing on the subs we needed before they scored..the writing was on the wall for quite a few minutes before the goal,Scotland can't do 90mins any more COG looked knackered after being out for so long,and definitely a fresh pair of legs in midfield could have stemmed the flow.

    I thought they only became unplayable because we allowed it by giving them the freedom of the left side. Any decent side would have torn us a new one given the same generosity.

    We lost shape and looked unfit second half which allowed them ,Danns in particular, to pass the ball about
