I agree with you. Despite the high emotions of tonight both were solid players at Championship level. We always knew the Prem was going to be a step too far for them. Was obvious to everyone except Russel and the rest of the leadership at the club.

We aren't rich enough for this league. They bring on Eriksen and Maguire. We bring on Smallbone and Armstrong.

Still on course for a record breaking season. Lowest points total Least goals scored Most goals conceded Earliest relegation. Most defeats Hard to see anything else happening really.

Still be on 6 points after the weekend then. Normal service resumes.

Very few quality options on the bench though. Doesn't have much choice really.

Yup.. Along with all the commentators and pundits I'm just waiting for the first to fly in. They are getting closer.

Smallbone coming on.

Needs to learn to knock it into someone else for the finish.

Utd clearly under estimated us in the first half and probably thought it'd be an easy game. They won't make the same mistake second half. But it has been great to watch us play some proper football for a change.

Can't believe my eyes seeing Sulemana actually working hard and looking decent.

I hope so too. I'm sat here wondering for the millionth time why we stuck with Martin for so long and have let all the "winnable" games go by.

7-1 to Utd I reckon.

Let's hope we accidentally find the one position Sulemana can play...

Clearly not ready yet. Wouldn't get into any other team in the Premier League. Just hope Juric can see this and take action to drop him or send him back to Chelsea and make space for a more experienced loan player.

It clearly hasn't worked out for them under an amateur manager. Probably would have done better keeping Steve Cooper.

I wish. I hope you are right MLG.

Derby's record looks like it'll be broken. We are doing some things better. But change is going to take longer than we have left.

They are already comfortable

Problem with conceding is we aren't even creating chances to get back into the game.

A poor half despite the goal. On another day Palace are 2 or 3 up. But their genuine goal was a clear foul and shouldn't have been given.

Game is slipping away

I know we've been crap this season but I do feel two or three massive decisions have gone against us. This has not helped.

Clearly a foul.

Reading Juric's after match comments, especially on Onuachu's performance. It's just feels so weird to have a manager who is actually trying to solve our problems and try new things instead of just insisting he is right, despite results.

Was a good focal point for the attack. Actually getting on the end of chances and bringing others into play. And he's barely been given a chance by RM. He didn't fit with the "philosophy".
