Warnock is likely to stick to the same team after last Saturday's impressive performance at Huddersfield

I'd stick with the same team, except I would start to rotate a couple of players. Maybe only one a game, so bring in Pearce for Lees for instance, but nothing too drastic. We do not want injuries from over playing them, we still have cup ties as well.

Warnock hinted he would be rotating his strikers Becchio, McCormack & Diouf especially as we have three games week commencing 15th December

That's great, but we have more than strikers in the team, Mr. Warnock.

I dont care what team we play as long as we beat these on Saturday!! Coming from Derby myself I get alot of hate thrown in my direction, I think Derby hate us more than any other team do!!!

Its been 8 games since we last beat Derby, and they are very good at home. Id take a draw now, but praying for 3 points!!!

Come on you whites MOT

Same team as last Saturday apart from Hall in for Thomas who has a hamstring injury

Awful first half from us. Midfield has been annihilated. Not only losing 50-50 tackles but regularly losing 60-40 ones in favour of us. Good skill from Becchio to set up the equaliser and fair play to Green for keeping going but ... if Warnock really thinks he can add just one forward to this lot and get promoted I admire his optimism. Hopefully he is ripping them a new one right now.

Very fortunate to be level at half-time

McCormack subbed off for Varney, thank god! He was absolutely woeful.
He was that bad his performance angered me, If I was warnock Id be tempted to chuck him in reserves for 2-3 weeks, less if he gets back up to scratch sooner.

Yes, McCormack had a shocker. Should have been hooked much earlier - especially as Diouf looked so sharp when he came on.

Derby just had more power and speed in midfield. Some thrilling runs from their players which I would have enjoyed if it had been against anyone but us. They wiped the floor with our one-paced midfielders.

We're miles away from being a promotion team. Doesn't sound like we have much planned for January to fix this. Go back to your constituencies and prepare for mediocre mid-table tedium.

Did say Ross is overrated

McCormack & Becchio had their game of the season at Huddersfield....normal service resumes !

Btw....we can't win every game

I've always thought McCormack to be talented but inconsistent. I hear a lot of fans talking about him like he's the messiah, but if he's to be the fulcrum of the team we will always blow hot and cold.

I'm just hearing Warnock say that we "dominated proceedings" in the second half and I feel like weeping with frustration. We had a couple of better spells than we'd had in an awful first half, but all we really seemed to have to offer was long balls up to Becchio. The closing stages were embarrassing. Hoof, hoof, hoof.

To good to be true what a guttner peltier wants hanging..(not literally)
And warnock says we only need one more player what a joke!!!
Jimmy Saville chants won't good at all

Warnock making lots of excuses....actually thinks we deserved to win the game

He must be bonkers

so, do you still think he's the one?

Maybe a wake-up call to Warnock & Co. that in fact we do need some more quality players in January. More than 1 anyway.

Twiggster · Post by **Twiggster** » Sat Dec 08, 2012 5:43 pm

Amazing we are still 4points off 6th place!
Crap performances from the whole league today.
