Why wasn't Ireland bombing forward to give Bellamy an outlet? Why did SWP not try harder to get back after the ball had been intercepted?
People always talk about local lads/players who have come through the ranks understanding more about what a Derby game is all about, I didn't see much evidence of that today from the academy product subs!

Bellers for attemting that pass , SWP for not reading it better and certainly not sprinting back to cover. Two players were attracted to the pass forward and neither seemed to be aware Evra was free on the wing, Ireland for not tracking Scholes properly , somebody in the middle for allowing Scholes to be free smack in the middle of the box. But also if we were accepting the point rather than going for the draw had the boss given the instructions to hold the ball and play out time. I am sure if we had been one up when Bellers got the ball he would have just turned around and headed for the corner flag. It was all very confusing but it was a team failure.

There is rustiness, and there is laziness.
I havent watched a re-run of the goal, so wont criticise him for that., but Ireland did a fucking Benjani impression, coming on, strolling around as though we were winning 5.0 - didnt close anyone down, gave up as soon as the ball went past him. It was a shameful performance from a player who claims he will still be running in the 95th minute, and thats what gives him the edge. He couldnt be arsed running after 5 mins on the pitch, and no amount of ring rust is an excuse for a total lack of effort

we need to know why.
Has he had a medical condition/ heart trouble?
Is he off in the summer?
Are these lads getting pissed off that lazy fuckers like veira are coming in on higher wages than them?
