It went wrong before that. It was eight minutes before we crossed the half-way line. All Derby for 20 minutes. Then even to half-time. Then Derby had the edge for 20 minutes in the second half, and then it all went to pot for the last 25 minutes.
Didn't wear when we beat Bolton either. We were poor that game as well.
I think it was the players fault we lost to Fulham. They eased off like Derby did in the second part of the first half. We should have been 3-0 up against Fulham if we could convert our chances like Derby did against us. Or...
We were always going to lose this one. They have better players.
Excuse doesn't wear if we lost to Millwall. Or even of we win and our performance does not improve.

I think Bruno was underscored again. Martin (Derby) MOM. Dunk 7.6 Albion MOM.
I am reserving judgement on Hyypia until after the Millwall game.
It looked to me although not enough...
Strangers on the Pitch
Stats: 3-0
Poss 55-45% Shots 18 (8) - 11 (0) Corners 4-4
Slightly worse than expected, probably because of the team selection.
For me the worse thing is I cannot see any signs of improvement, just a gradual erosion of what we were doing well before like passing...
I can't see much light in that match. We are getting worse not better. I expected 2-0 so it was worse than expected.
Even our passing went to pot in the second half. After 20 minutes I thought it might be ten.
I think I saw more than a few signs away at Norwich.
Millwall is a must win...
Under Siege
Ostensibly it looks like we have no one in midfield to keep hold of the ball and no one to win it back either!
But I do like the Trebuchet font though. But I think that will be Derby.
Silly Fonts Day
Shock team choice! Where is Baldock? Is Agustien injured or just not good enough?
Subs: Walton, McCourt, Holla, Rea, Toko, Ince, Calderon.
Halford does not even make the squad! I can't argue with that!
What does seem immensely risky is the choice of three right-wingers...
Stats: Derby (H) vs Brighton (A)
Possession: 56 - 51.9%
Passing: 82.8 - 79.9%
SPG: 14.4 - 13.2
Penalty area shots: 7.2 - 5.6 (big discrepancy)
The big worry is any team that dominates possession against us is going to tear our defence to pieces like Spurs.
Derby have two youngsters in...
Some notes. I think Derby are overhyped. If we had a good team out they could be in for a shock. Except we haven't.
Grant/Butland vs Stockdale/Walton. Right now Derby have a better keeper but in or year or so, Walton looks the best prospect.
Christie v Bruno. Bruno is an old fashioned full...
