What has changed, it has been fabulous. Yes they are poor, but have faced sides just as poor and looked limp.

The removal of Winks?

The ball out of the back quickly and players moving is making such a difference.  As soon as the passing backwards or JV doing what he does best, the tempo and energy switches back to Derby briefly. 
 

Mav passing to Thomas and him actually being brave to cross is making a big difference. We look really good when at pace, but still lazy and without application when they try and control it backwards.

I'd say Reid off fo Daka. Ayew drop into midfield.

Will be so much space for Daka second half. Straight swap for Ayew for me, if he thinks he needs a change is needed.

Best half in about 5 years. I know Derby have been shit but it's really nice to see an intensity we all want.

Is this the same team? Fast passing, mixing it up short and long, fighting for the ball!

Actually having players in the box has been helpful too

No Faes and having a more solid foundation, plus these are dire.

 

I’m sure it’s been said already, but we saw last weekend that a 3-0 lead is not the end of the game. We cannot sit back and expect to see the game out. If we concede - particularly early - we may well fold

Looks like they've stopped inverting the fullback too

That's completely true. Perhaps there was an undercurrent of resentment which has been removed with their dropping. Taken him (Cifuentes) long enough to read the dressing room. But Thomas, James, Fatawu and Mav have been on fire since the off. 

Possibly, I think we’ve been unfortunate that some injuries have possibly enabled players like Winks and Faes to stay in the side. Although coming into pre season so late, MC is possibly still trying to work out his players, x2 senior players on high wages you can see why he would feel the need to try and work with them to start and hope he can get a tune out of them. Hopefully we never see either of them again

It's amazing what a bit of confidence does

Bizarrely easy. No idea what the **** we've been playing at all season tbh.

Appeasing the wantaway players in an attempt to protect their transfer values... as you'd expect from our panicked, short-sighted and incompetent leadership.

Reid is out of steam. He could'nt even support Mav moving forward before HT. But we'' see how the 2nd half goes.

[Noahfence]

Yep Ricardo is staying at RB and been notably better.

No doubling up on our wingers, faster ball forwards, Winks is not killing the forward movement

I think I am falling back in love with my Leicester.

You're so fickle. She looks so much more attractive today though, don't she.

[rugbyblue]

Best half of season so far.  Should be 4 too.  Ayew never offside.  

No sitting back, push for more.  No subs yet.  Its working.  Keep it as it is.  

Skipp excellent btw

Agreed but he's puffing badly now. May be the half time will give him a new lease of life.

[Cropwellfox]

Only problem we’ve got is we can only do 45 minutes per game. 

[Marshall Cockney Fox]

Oh the simplicity of being clinical 🥰🥰

[TrentFox]

Just switched on to watch the Derby County game. Who are they playing??? 🤔

[TheGoldenGod]

If Abdul turns up 2nd half it'll finish 5 or 6.

[Free Falling Foxes]

What's that you say Skippy, you're running the midfield?
