I thought Derby were so flat and cumbersome at the back that Bruce might have been tempted to throw Grealish on in the 2nd half.

Yes, I'd like to have seen both Grealish and GG on early in the second half.

When I got in last night and told the Mrs we'd won, she said "Really?" in exactly the same surprised tone of voice she'd have used if I'd told her I'd just seen a moonwalking hamster playing the guitar.

My wife came into the lounge  during the Newcastle game looked at the score and said " do you ever win "?  I had no answer I don't even get upset anymore

Sorry if it's been mentioned, but why was Hourihane missing?

Which match in particular?
Against Barnsley.

We didn't play with two left backs, Amavi was left midfield.
Amavi was SUPPOSED to play left midfield.
He came in the play left mid and ended up playing virtually alongside Taylor because his natural instinct took over.

Yes, he is isn't he Darren.  He helped my son and me search for our lost car keys in the North Stand carpark.

A victory in all but name.Flaccid and inept.Felt like a loss.

Exactly how I feel.
same here. Left the ground depressed. Not looking forward to Tuesday

Would you rather we had played the best we've played all season but lost in unfortunate circumstances? After the run we've had, I'm just happy for the win and to get a little further away from the relegation zone. Hopefully they'll be a bit more confident and can build on that.
No mate. I'd rather we play the football we are capable of and putting teams like Derby to the fucking sword.  I'm paying a lot of good money every year to watch this shit and i'm not getting any kind of value for that money.  I'm remembering my first and last trip to the Britannia - Tiny Penis in his pomp, Rory Delap wanging in corner-like throw-ins on a piss-takingly narrow pitch, turning to my dad after a turgid nil-nil draw and saying "I wouldn't want a season ticket down here having to watch that shit every week!"  Well, guess what! We are now  worse than Stoke - at least they were effective! Our bumbling ineptitude on the pitch is Sunday League-esque! Not at all helped by the fact that some blokes around me giving dogs abuse to Alan Hutton and Leandro Bacuna who were IMO by far our best two players yesterday. I'm not even disposed towards having a go at Bacuna as the incident happened right below us and I was on my feet directing a royal round of fucks towards the idiot lino myself. At least Bacuna cares!

Derby were the ones in the white shirts.

I have had time to reflect on the game yesterday.

I have been watching kadoja recently and he is a f*cking liability. Never since Baros (without a bit of his ability) been such a poor selfish individual. The second half we were penned in by his abysmal effort. If you watch him closely he actually ducks to avoid heading the ball if challenged by a centre back.  If he doesn't get the ball to his feet it's arms the air and a little skip to state 'I tried'. Get there first hold the ball and wait for support it's the least I expect.

Adohma. I am afraid he suffers from 'Danny Alves disease' i.e; what the f*uck is Alan 'Danny Alves' Hutton doing whilst he goes on his rambles? I know I will cover his arse. (see next)

Alan Hutton. All over the park some said, man of the match some said. Continually out of position I say. His job is to stop crosses. F*ck sake Ince could have run riot on the left.

 Baccuna. Getting a bad press, but he was expected to make the runs our prima-donna Kadoja wouldn't do. He hasn't played much football and after 75 mins was blowing out of his arse. But he lasted until he was sent off.

Until we start with 11 committed players we will continue as we are.

Maybe spelling our players names correctly would add some credibility to your points.
