Bentley - 8 - Solid, good distribution and excellent time wasting! Hunt - 6 - Good assist for the 2nd goal, otherwise would have been a 5. Defensively suspect as usual, needlessly gave the ball away several times when got forward. Moore/Kalas/Baker - 9s - for all three of them, really good CB play throughout. Cannot leave any of those 3 out for Ashley Williams after that performance. Rowe - 6 - Stuck at it, clearly not really comfortable when in left back position but battled away. Massengo - 9 - All over the pitch, read the game really well, closed out a lot of their play outside the box. Brownhill - 9 - Easily his best performance of the season, very timely with Nagy out. Great take for the 2nd goal, I'd just make him out MotM. Afobe - 8 - Worked well, held the ball up, always looked a threat and hence occupied their CBs. Weimann - 8 - Coolly taken goal, chased and harried to more effect than in previous games. Palmer - 7 - Played 3 or 4 delightful forward passes cutting through the Derby defence in first half and worked really hard too. Never really got into the game 2nd half, maybe carrying a knock? Subs: COD - 6 - Did OK without overly impressing. Fammy - 5 - Poor for me, although had a series of hopeful balls to contest, didn't work enough. Hardly held the ball up at all. Also twice missed opportunities to play in Weimann because of poor decision making. Pedro - not on long enough to rate.

Thought Brownhill was terrific, his best game of the season so far, and so timely with us missing Nagy. Hunt was a weak link, but fair play to him for the assist for our 2nd. Fammy didn't do anywhere near enough for me when he came on. COD did ok.

Get in... 1-2 FT

3 min left

City sitting so deep... asking for trouble

Yep, fammy not doing it so far

1-2, really well taking goal...

hunt off for pereira

20 mins to hold on

Afobe off, fammy on

Marriott on for them now

Hunt

All Derby still...

little odd choice for me

Was just thinking the same!

2-0!!!! Brownhill from a good cross from Hunt!!!

Great pass out from Bentley to hunt and he gives it away again!

Yep, only a matter of time unless we tighten up.

close to 1-1, Derby corner now and go close again.

Weimann!

Hunt gives it away again

Palmers already played 3 good looking through balls... Hunt shite again just then

Which are those then? From my viewpoint he is constantly being out of position...

Ditto - accident waiting to happen

I'd put that confidence on hold until we know if Nagy is fit to play...
