Exactly what we deserved, sadly.
Clueless from start to finish
It would have been an injustice if we'd got a point against a limited but really committed Derby.
I don't like the way this season is shaping up at all since the West Brom game (with the honourable exception of the crazy, crazy basketball game at QPR)
We don't look like we've got any idea what to do without Powell in the attacking third and Souttar starting things off.
The expected goals tonight was about 0.20, which is pretty much as low as it's been in the 7-8 years it's been publicly recorded, even in the Prem days in the bonus games.

I’m not really sure where we go from there.
But something definitely needs to change.

I can't see where we go from here
His plan didn't look right, a lightweight midfield focusing on ball retention, and he's still trying that but with clucas and Allen the spine of the midfield and a back three now that can't defend or play out.
His signings aren't good enough, the spine of the team without Souttar is weak as piss.
Not good enough. Nowhere near good enough.
For this club this season anything less than play offs is an abject failure and it's slipping away quickly

Awful game, wish I never watched it. We didn't do anything one of the worst games I have seen this season even if there were some goals. So scrappy. Not sure any team has come out all guns blazing after a forced break due to covid. Lets hope it's a one off, hats off to Derby they are fighting for there lives.
On to the next one..

I’ve been enforced to watch from home but my word that’s two abhorrent home performances in a row.
I’ve long banged the drum for MON- I still have time for the way he kept us up- but we’re going nowhere it seems.
Other than vrancic- who at least is willing to get on the ball and try to make things happen- the other 10 players were appalling - and I mean appalling. No engegy or desire. Sloppy. Poor application. Derby did everything simple well. The opposite of us. We’re enegentic and moved the ball quickly.
Allen and clucas were utterly abysmal. Wilmot fox and Batth passing was just shocking.
The front 2 - isolated and dominated by experienced pros- but no movement.
The plan to try and go long and in behind them was so naively pathetic.
We couldn’t cope with Derby’s press so went long. Just embarrassing all on all.
I’d be dangling some cash at them for Bird and Knight who are streets ahead of our midfielders.
A low point of the season. I hope a turning point - sadly it’s made me give up hope and realise another mediocre season beckons.
We’re nothing without Powell.

How long can this shit continue?

When you see what Rooney is squeezing out of what should be a demotivated bunch of kids and OAPs on rock bottom Champo wages, it really puts things into focus.

I don't think it's right to single out anybody after such a performance, but the quality of our play tonight really is a worry. How bad is it possible to play for a playoff contender!? We deserved absolute nothing after tonight's performance!

This manager has played more of the younger players than most we’ve had over the last 20 years! Because of injuries or in the 85+ minute. He has loads better sitting or relegated to bench appearances. They need to be starting over the shit like Allen or Clucas. Rooney just proved that point.

From and including the Peterborough game, we have had 3 dreadful, clueless home performances. Today was the worst of all, absolutely no structure. Has he lost faith in Surridge, why does Ince come on before Doughty. These are worrying times..

Playing the youngsters is one thing, playing his utter shite tactics and utter shite(most of em) signings is another. He needs to go!!!

This is all about respect for Rooney as a manager and playing fo r a cause, so Stoke players,if the Premier League is not in your vision as a player well so be it. Utterly abysmal.

We've got to go back to a back 4 in the short-term- with Souttar gone, there's zero building out of defence, Smith and Tymon are creating f*** all, meaning it all falls on Vrancic. And that's completely unfair
And without a fit-and-firing Fletcher, no other combination up front can function at all.

Just an absolute shambles!
I have absolutely no idea what the plan is. Batth & Fox are a disaster, absolutely no idea what to do with the ball at their feet, yet we continued to mess around & play ourselves into trouble. We've got a keeper who can’t use his feet too to make matters worse.
A midfield with Clucas who unfortunately offers nothing unless he’s scoring.
Starting Brown & Campbell together again was the wrong call, it just doesn’t work.
This back 3 doesn’t work without Souttar, I can’t believe the management can’t see it.
We were set up all wrong (yet again) & got what we deserved which was nothing.
