Wtf game were you watching? Can't you just try to watch through clear lenses? Is he wrong? It became a basketball game in the second half for no reason at all. Taking a midfielder off, who was doing well, for a forward was one massively strange decision. I didn't watch but did it work out like seemed obvious for the last 4 league games? Did we look loads better with 3 in midfield? |

Every week we are so poor in the final 1/3rd,is it so hard to find one of your own players in their box?
We have beaten 2 very poor sides,we now need to start picking up pts against the better sides.

Taking Seko off was madness and very worrying from the manager. I remain unconvinced |

Our work in the final third was dreadful. Poor passing, poor decisions and as for Manhoef he’s got no football brain whatsoever |

Maybe if you had Kante 2.0 in there you could get away with it. |

He laid his hand on his ankle. Cannon then thought 'ooh, he touched me, I need to emphasize that.. belatedly'. Fortunately, from the ref's viewpoint Cannon's shit acting looked as though he had his ankle yanked. We wouldn't be happy if that was given against us! Why? It was a blatant penalty. What do you expect him to do? Somehow stay on his feet despite having his ankle grabbed? Take it you're not actually a stoke fan? TBH I would get rid of penalties completely. Too many shit decisions. Contact is not a penalty. |

Just what on earth was Vik doing for their goal? Awful.

Great result but be under no misapprehension that was absolute shite.
Baffling sub taking Seko off.
Some decent individual performances but the quality of our passing is garbage and causes us problems time and time again

Character, heart and desire to win the game after the horrible setback of their equaliser.
Never ever mind that Stoke.
Shown some spirit this week, we'll always be in favour of that.
Well done NP!

Apart from the own goal, that was a very good performance.

Thought we completely dominated the 1st half and were unfortunate not to be out of sight.
Derby came out with a bit more urgency in the 2nd but they only created 1 chance (Gibson defensive error that was fortunately wasted due to a tame effort) and then were gifted a calamitous equaliser.
For a short while after they were high on adrenaline and we seemed frightened; but great spirit to get the fully deserved win in the end. And some redemption for Gibson even though I don't rate him defensively. Shows fighting spirit at least.
I thought we were a class above and certainly a good sign that we shouldn't get sucked into a relegation battle if the likes of Derby/Portsmouth are going to be down there. But we do make bloody hard work of it at times.
Vital result.

Some decent individual performances but the quality of our passing is garbage and causes us problems time and time again Nah. A definite second half lull but until we scored their goal for them it was as easy as it could be. Agree that our play in the final third leaves a lot to be desired at times and our lack of composure is utterly maddening, but we created enough chances to have won by 3 or 4 despite that. Derby were piss poor. Taking Seko off was a head scratcher, especially on 55 minutes, but we won and hopefully he’ll realise he probably got away with it and won’t do it again. Can’t remember many times the opposition take one of their better players off for no apparent reason. A well deserved victory in the end, anything else would have been criminal. |

I'll certainly get on side with him if we continue to show the character we have this week. |

Seko was the worst of the 3 midfielders today. Right to take him off so many sloppy passes. Burger much improved, was it penalty was it a foul for our winning goal, who cares, although the guy that was “ fouled should not have been on the pitch. His tackle was worthy of a red on its own never mind a yellow which he was already on.

Dreadful game played out by two dreadful teams. Lucky to get the win.
Bizzarre management taking the extra midfielder - who had given us some control in the game- off. Like for like would’ve been fine.
Never felt so down after a win.

I just beg to his almighty god (Sir Stan), that he doesn’t play Ben, fucking, Gibson. I think he cancelled himself out in the end |

Some negative folks on here isn't there.
We won a vital game.
It wasn't absolute shite like someone has said.
Several very decent individual performances.
Come on lads and lassies let's get behind this new regime.
I'm feeling very optimistic.

This...we desperately needed the win today which brings its own pressure, had a big setback in the game and still came out on top. It wasn't perfect, at times not pretty, but there were positive signs today (character in abundance) and you have to be a real negative nelly not to see that. Really pleased for Pelach mostly, but we have to follow it up now. |

Derby very poor and our work in the final third was league 2 standard. Manhoef is going backwards. Taking Seko off was absolute madness. There was no need to do it at all. We were the better team but Derby were dreadful. We’re still way off in my opinion |

That was farcical. Derby as bad as Portsmouth, possibly even worse. We made a real meal of it. Yes both teams looked poor. I am confident now that there are two worse teams in the league than us  But are there Three? |

I’m in London with kids and so missed today - been keeping a close eye on the Oatie, but have to say I have no idea how we played - were we absolute wank or not half bad?!? Impossible to tell from the comments 🤣
