If it was a disgrace, it would have been called off. 

No, that would mean it was unplayable.

At this level, in this day and age, with the ground staff and resources available, that pitch is an embarrassment to honest, hardworking, decent groundsmen and women all over the land.

disgraceful.

I didn't realise they also hosted speedway at Pride Park. It's pretty shambolic for a Championship ground and when you consider rugby is also played at the Gate and ours is perfect most weeks. 

They had a foot of unexpected snow.

Some parts of the country have had loads of snow and flooding. I’m sure the groundstaff have got it the best they can. 

Then it’s a pretty low bar.

The baseball ground was 100 times worse from the pictures I’ve just seen.

It looks absolutely fine to play on imo.

To play what though? Not football!

I’ve played on better pitches on Redcatch Park..., the only thing missing from this pitch is the dog turd. Unless of course you choose to use that phrase to describe our defending

Went out for fag, came back and saw 30 odd new posts...............thought, great, we must be one down !

Dead right he should...very slow off his line?

That was my initial thought, but easy to pass judgement from my chair!

[Banjo Red]

Builders lorry just backed onto the pitch to  get some sand, big job on this week.

[Bar BS3]

At least the Gas are losing..! 

[Wade Wilson]

If 2020/2021 was a pitch. . . 

[lenred]

Rovers losing 

[Lanterne Rouge]

Rochdale 1 up

[SoliCyder]

I was going to mock Rooney for preparing the pitch himself. Stroke of genius apparently

[cityexile]

Yes the pitch is naff, but it’s not like it is dulling our fast incisive attacking football of the last few months...

Who bloody cares

[YGBjammy]

I rarely complain about a pitch in the basis that both teams have to play on it, but WTF IS THIS PITCH?!

These teams are paying players a house deposit every week and their pitch looks like they just finished digging up the potatoes? Shocking!

Don't tell me the Derby ground staff have got the goal height wrong too.

Crikey, some of the pitches we used to play on!
Players are pampered to the extreme nowadays. It’s muddy, big deal!!!

[The hand of RO'D]

Plenty of time to get back into it. Well have a spell, keep the faith!

I think Plenty of people have a passing interest, if that's OK with you..?! 

[Bassomylord]

For those not watching this is another poor performance so far.

It’s been a bad day all around.

[And Its Smith]

20 mins in and only Fam and Wells played well so far.  Worrying 

[steviestevieneville]

Gap between the back 4 and our front two is ridiculous 

[keflav]

We Just have no urgency at all, we give them all the time in the world on the ball. This team just needs a kick in the as, but Holden is too friendly with the team so not scared of him...

[AppyDAZE]

R. Bristol saying it's just too easy for Derby. True or false, viewers?
