    Bell isn’t a left back 
    He’s not. But he was caught at centre half for that goal and still not good enough. 
    Said this last season. Just a show poney on the ball. Macca was a better option but not Jones man.
    Wouldn’t go that far re Macca being better but Bell isn’t great defensively. Better on the ball.

    We’re playing some good stuff to be fair. Just the end product is lacking

    Some tidy play here from us. Some good passing in the middle and final third. Just need that little bit of quality.

    Derby defending heavily in numbers, absolutely no way through them!!
    Currently they've got the goal, and don't needlessly have to commit numbers forward

    Better since they scored, but same old problem, end product simply not there.

    Slow and tentative in attack. Same as last season. 
  • That was lovely from TC up until trying to go near post, put it in the middle!

    Carey put on his Superman cape and went for a dive in the box.

    No pen.

    If the ref had given that Carey wpuld have been eligible for an Oscar nomination.

    You’ve gotta cross that TC.

    Would rather shoot with his right at an impossible angle than cross with his left. 

    Come on man.

    Cov dictating play, just a little more end product from TC required

    That looked like a booking for Carey with him going down in the box like that!!
    Looks like he even moves his right leg out the way of the Derby man before deciding to go down

    If TC plays it HAS to be on the left.

    Yeah looked like a pretty clear dive/making a meal of it.

    Surely a booking or pen?
  • We desperately need someone else to discover they can take set pieces.

    If TC did nothing else this summer he should've learned to kick with his left bloody foot.

    Already been a number of crossing opportunities that he turned down to get back to his right and the same with a shooting chance.

    It's criminal that modern professional footballers will not kick with their wrong foot.
    Blame Robben while playing for chelsea all those years ago.
    Old enough to remember Chris Powell. 
    Paddy Powell could at least cross with both feet. If TC became only half the player Powell was he would be okay.

    Feel like we have played 'nicer' football than last season so far - moving it through thirds well but end product and decision making in the final third has been diabolical!
