You may well be right, Ben. Maybe we should keep our collective fingers crossed for a BBD style redemption.

Shout out to Matt Clarke tonight. Seemed to be everywhere whenever the ball came into our box. #dcfcfans #dcfc

If it is true that we are not compelled to buy him at the end of the season, I can't see any other scenario than him heading back to Ipswich.

On the evidence we've seen so far, it mystifies me as to how he even had one good season. He does a lot of chasing around, but mainly after his own misplaced passes. Eustace obviously sees something that the rest of us don't.

Well, despite a generally poor performance and being second best by some way, Derby probably should have won with the chances they've had. A familiar story. #dcfcfans #dcfc

That is a pair of very strange substitutions. #dcfcfans #dcfc

I am getting increasingly frustrated at messing about with Bobby Clark's position. It's pretty clear to anyone who has watched Derby that he is at his most effective in an advanced midfield position. Szmodics has offered very little so far. #dcfcfans #dcfc

A very underwhelming 45 of minutes of football from Derby. Not really carrying any threat. Credit to Clarke for keeping them out as long as he did! #dcfcfans #dcfc

Was saying the same thing earlier. It's not that Szmodics is bad, but shoehorning him into the side has definitely unsettled things.

A slightly odd game, that. Derby comfortable winners despite the scoreline. It should have been more with better finishing. Off the hall, Derby lacked energy for most of the game and will need to be much better on Tuesday. #dcfcfans #dcfc

A much improved second half and in the end it was a comfortable win for Derby. So glad that Travis' moment of idiocy didn't cost us the game. Szomdics had his best game for us. #dcfcfans #dcfc

Eustace trying to shoehorn Travis and Szmodics into this side is having such a negative effect. Clark having to play further back , Ozoh not getting in are both unjustifiable. #dcfcfana #dcfc

Travis is an absolute liability. Ebou infuriated me at times but I'd have him in Travis' place in a heartbeat. #dcfcfans #dcfc

There is no sense to be made.

Basically, Derby were generally the better team in the middle third of the pitch but profligate in front of goal and awful in our own box. One of the most bizarre performances I've seen in a long while. #dcfcfans #dcfc

I would say that ours has been worse, amazingly.

Some achievement this by Derby to be losing this game. It has been a battle of who can have the shittest defence and Derby have won that contest hands down. #dcfcfans #dcfc

Derby have had one or two bright moments but on the whole, the standard of football from both sides has been shocking. #dcfcfans #dcfc

Derby's line up in defence is bizarre. More left footers than a papal conclave. I feel sorry for Elder. #dcfcfans #dcfc

Not been able to watch the game today but it didn't sound great. It's hard to understand how Bobby Clark is not getting in the team at the moment. His form did dip a little in his last couple of starts but still a key player for me. #dcfcfans #dcfc

Whatever the fate of this government, the public and in particular certain aspects of the media need to have a think about this constant frenzy for drama and stories. Sometimes government and politics needs to just be about getting on with the job and not about the ego of some journalists.

Looked like a second yellow to me.

Another disappointing day at Pride Park. Ipswich the better side but Derby didn't help themselves with yet another slow start to a game. Also not helped by some awful officiating. #dcfcfans #dcfc

Only the Eames effort going in could have made that any better. #dcfcfans #dcfc

That was as complete a performance as I have seen from Derby in a long, long time. #dcfcfans #dcfc

BBC Radio Derby reporting that JVZ and Langas absences are injuries and not due to selling them. #dcfcfans #dcfc

A predictably frustrating evening where Derby again paid the price for not finding a second goal. Despite an improvement in the second half, Derby were generally below par. A draw was probably a fair result from an eminently forgettable game. #dcfcfans #dcfc

That and not having 25,000 fans on his back and cheering when he was substituted!
