If we'd lost to a decent looking side it wouldn't have been so bad. Thank goodness derby probably had an off day. On the other hand had we shipped 4 or more it may have presaged the announcement of a board meeting on Sunday.
Can't see Bournemouth bringing many fans next week. I wonder what the spread on a 10000 crowd is?

If I read it right we lost because in DF's view we tried to be better than them at football and he accepts the blame. No further comment needed.

. There was very little leadership or passion on view. Lonergan at least got cross with the pitch invader and showed some urgency. This may have led him to give the goal away and therefore offers him a bit of an excuse for his second gift goal in two weeks. I do think he tried which is more than can be said for some not least the manager who invisibly lost interest as evidenced by his hiding from the booing and failure to use subs. At least Megson stood up to be hated and Coyle to be ridiculed.

Andy, I think you said it all. We were treated to a footballing display by McLaren's Derby, after an encouraging start by the Wanderers and a good save by Lonergan. Derby passed the ball superbly, not scared of involving the keeper, and only punting to get out of danger. This was the style of play promised by DF, but never delivered. You are right, there was no leadership, in fact not much of anything at all after Derby got moving. DF says he tried to outfootball Derby, whatever that means, but it looked to me he tried, without success, to shore up the midfield, and as we know Mason cannot work as alone striker he gave up any chance of scoring. I thought you were alittle harsh in scoring CYL a 3, he worked his socks off trying to support Moxey. Please DF, think again, and tender your resignation, Wanderers might go down if you leave, but certainly will if you stay.

What to me is bizarre is the 'modern' strategy of full backs moving inside presumably to counter wrong footed wingers cutting in or allow wing backs to raid?So when Chungy failed to defend Christie had an unopposed run to the bye line to cross for a goal of ease. Even so Moxey could have been positioned to cut it out but because he is either no good or not match fit he didn't. Better to play as a full back surely?
It's true that Chungy had our one decent effort blocked and that he was stranded too often. And he is our best player.And I'd think he could be captain as he has a good brain. But yesterday he lost heart as we all did and was rightly subbed. For me only Lonergan and Dervite could rate more than 5 and that's generous?

Proper pi55ed meself laughing at the Wiki description of Dean Moxey...
'He is a left sided player uncomfortable at left back. He can also can play as a goalkeeper, sweeper and striker. He has previously played for Crystal Palace where competed for his position with Jonathan Parr!!! Another Palace dud Freedman tried to sign
GOALKEEPER !!!!
There's no end to the lads talent... Pity he couldn't teach Derby a few things yesterday. Positively our worst signing yet I'd say

It's a crying shame to see 3 ex Reebok men on the telly and not have a single mention of The Wanderers!!!! Craig Dawson with a typical headed goal, Luke the Juke & Marvin Sodall treading the TV turf Shows how low we've really sunk when these 'fringe' players are still cutting it in the Prem and we're struggling with the nondescripts we have!!

Watched brief snatch on football league show. Have to confess I took my eye off the second goal and was led to believe that Lonergam kicked it straight to their man. But the angle looked wrong on TV . Did he kick it to Mills and Mills the play the poor pass? If so plus one to Lonergan and minus to Mills
And the penalty against looked softer in highlights than live
