I thought you meant have a brilliant time in Stoke on Saturday. Did I say 9 players played well? I said Nyambe, Lenihan, Williams and Bell played well and Bell was my man of the match. Nyambe was impressive aswell. Smallwood better than Evans. Armstrong, Palmer and Conway very poor and Dack quiet tho I would have loved him to score that chance tho. Swansea wasn't even 1st choice and still caused them problems. Stoke very lucky I'm said the team I would pick last night and I stand by that

I disagree on Raya being a distribution factor in the wave of attacks. We failed to maintain possession cos we didn't play the game plan and play to many long balls. We improved cos Bennett and Reed added discipline and positional awareness to the team something we lacked with Conway and Palmer. Did I say we played well? Didn't I cover that last night with my comments???

Well look it up then? I would say very little if at all. He has had a long standing knee problem that affect him plus he is 33 years old. The wrong team was picked cos Conway and Palmer were useless. I think if Rothwell and Bennett was playing I think we would be much better Ive watched that game today after I recorded it last night. Great bonus of having Sky Q. brilliant time?

Smallwood was much better last night and after watching the game back today I will stand by that. Evans was poor last night. Raya did some good things last night. He is young and learning by playing every game. I would expect some last ditch defending last night cos with Derby with their qualities will cause problems. but they only had 3 shots on targets all game from 22 shots. Not sure about all over the place comment and it seems a little over critical for my view

didn't Armstrong play well upfront for us against Hull away and we played the ball on the ground and in between the defenders You still didn't answer my question that how many times has Graham played 90 minutes or even 60 mins 3 games in a week since Mowbray came in as manager. Or we could play on the counter attack and look to get in behind by playing Rothwell on the left, Bennett on right, Dack in the 10 role and Brereton up front. Swansea played without a striker last night and caused problems with a striker so why cant we? Stoke aren't a brilliant team either.

Not making the playoffs? Is that Mowbray target?

Bell was good all game. Smallwood was better today then Evans. Has Graham played 90 mins in 3 games in a week this season? Or even last season? Wouldnt say he was excellent tonight. But much better than Armstrong up front.

correct. 1 lost in 8 games but only 2 wins. tho we have taken 5 points against Brentford, Villa and now Derby all down to Graham and his fitness. He's 33 years old and I don't think he can play 3 games a week at this level. I would play Brereton at Stoke. Swansea cause Stoke problems and didn't have their main striker on the pitch. Ive already said I wouldn't have started Conway in today's game and my thoughts was a player off the bench in certain games using his experience and knowledge. The odd start in games but tonight game was the game for Conway from the start

I thought Bell was good all game. Nyambe is a defensive full back but he did very well tonight and the season. I disagree with dropping Bell for Williams at left back. I would drop Evans not Smallwood for Reed. Agree on Bennett and Rothwell for Palmer and Conway. on Graham, all down to how fit he is and whether he can play 3 games in a week. look shattered in the last 5 mins. lets see 1st

Reed did play right side midfield but last season for Norwich he did play right wing back a lot. On Armstrong, the way we played at Hull. The ball on the ground with looking to get him in behind the defences with through balls not long balls like tonight

Another loss for Preston. fans not happy on twitter

Reaction from Tony Mowbray: “The lads deserve great credit. I’ve spoken about our spirit before and it showed tonight against a very, very good Derby side. A point against both Villa and Derby, we’ll take that and move on.” #Rovers https://t.co/JyxNzEEOE6

I would like to see Reed in for Evans next to Smallwood and Bennett and Rothwell wide. Dack starts. Either Graham or Brereton up front. Palmer, Conway and Armstrong poor tonight

Mulgrew was ill I would have started Bennett and Brereton in place of Palmer and Conway. Rovers never played to Armstrong strengths when he was up front What do you mean about preferred positions comment?

Good Point. would have taken that before and at half time. I felt second half we were better and much better defensive. Nyambe, Lenihan, Williams and Bell. I voted for Bell for MOTM. Dack had our best chance and I thought Bennett had scored but went wide. Bennett and Reed both came on and made us more solid. Derby had chances but they have more quality but the last 20/25 mins they faded. Its a point gain instead of 2 dropped. Palmer isn't a player that I like and Armstrong was poor aswell tonight The ref was excellent and consistent throughout the game. best ref I've seen so far. Derby only 3 shots from 22 attempts is awful

Bennett on for Palmer. He been awful. Not impress.

Already said we are very lucky to still be nil nil

Disagree on Palmer. Agree on Conway point Palmer is lazy and doesnt track his full back.. Armstrong was poor cos we didnt play to his strengths.

Palmer been awful.. If Armstrong is the main striker you need to play the ball down the sides and into feet like Hull away.

Who cares? Anyone can beat anyone in this league. Thats the English football for you

No need for a dig at posters. Shame you go that low..just like your comment in the cricket thread Said this before and get moaned about it. Not a fan so far

Happy to be nil nil at half time. We rode our luck at times. Pleased Mowbray change it cos we were playing too many high balls and conway was awful. Need to better second half.

Danny Graham on for #Rovers in place of Craig Conway - looks to be tactical given the way Conway is shaking his head. Mowbray needed to do something though.

Palmer not helping Bell out in the full back area
