    That's the thing, Derby are only a League One side because of off-the-field issues (obviously the massive point deduction).

    Otherwise, their first XI last season was comfortably Championship-level, and the players fielded in the first half is a Championship-level team (albeit probably lower end).

    That's not to say they'll piss League One, but we can't be pretending we should be on a par with a team like that.

    Second half, if they make a ton of changes, we'll probably win.

    Eh? I don't remember us attacking aside from the Walker shot where we won the ball back high up the pitch.

    Liking the keeper. Looks confident. Wants to take charge of his penalty area. Hughes needs to work out who his first choice defensive group is so they can get used to playing together.

    Osadebe looks lively. Looks to pick the ball up and pass and move, looking for one twos. Good energy.

    Harratt playing on the shoulder of the last defender. Needs a little though ball. Walker might be the chap to get him through.

    FCD is doing my head in. He is being given the ball in some great attacking positions and is only looking to go backwards

    He's not really quick enough to push the ball on and go past his man so he usually comes inside to keep possession.

    Full backs look poor. FCD and Threlkeld have absolutely zero effectiveness trying to go forwards. Harratt looks very lively, liking the look of the keeper too.

    That’s three fullbacks we have seen and not one should be near the squad , never mind the team . Threlkeld has offered poor passing and lousy positioning.

    Well that was poor. First half was a mismatch but even in the second half, we just had nothing about us at all.

    Hopefully it's been a good exercise in building fitness and no one's picked up any injuries, because there's not really much else to take from that. We looked very sloppy. Very much an early pre season type of performance. A lack of intensity at this point is fair enough, but the lack of purpose in possession was a disappointment. Lots of square and backwards passing with no real intent to build attacks.

    Hopefully we have a couple more quality additions coming in, because we need it. Certainly at full back.

    Thought new keeper looked safe and sound, but that's about it from today..

    Think that we all knew that FDC and Threlkeld are not really up to the job Kevin.
    For me FCD leaves his winger far too open and doesn't get anywhere near him.
    Any winger must love playing against the lad.
    Threlkeld?? Enough said!!

    I'm surprised we're playing full backs if we're signing players like Romoney Crichlow.

    Crichlow is a back three defender, out left.

    There were literally no positives in the attacking side, we were clueless upfront. I accept it’s a friendly and merely a training exercise but not much to get enthusiastic about with that display.
