Derby match ratings

[Saxondale]

Schmeichel 8 - Not much to judge him on but still faultless

Peltier 7 - Not bad

Konchesky 8 - One of the performers of the season for me

SSL 9 - Just getting better and better

Morgan 8.5 - Mega in the air and good covering

Marshall 7 - Not bad but showed inexperience

Dyer 8 - Made a mockery of Derby rightback Paul Green

Wellens 7.5 - Fairly good battling

Danns 8.5 - Doing his job in MF very well and could have had more than the one goal

Nugent 7 - Some good battling but left out of the game a bit because of our wide style

Beckford 7 - Not bad but a bit wasteful at times

Defouneso 7 - Didn't see too much but did net a tidy finish after the whistle had blown for offside

Bamba 7 - Shaky start but settled in

Drinkwater 7.5 - Robust late performance

Schmeichel - 6. Largely untested.

Peltier - 7. Improved, definitely looks better behind a winger, improved positioning.

Morgan - 9. Rock, this bloke beats Mills, NP's pulled it out the bag once again.

SSL - 8. Solid display.

Konchesky - 7. Not bad at all. Composed.

Marshall - 7. He struggled to get involved but he's got a great corner on him.

Danns - 9. Everywhere, totally bossed it, and got the winner.

Wellens - 7. Another improved display by him, I'm liking it.

Dyer - 8. Good game, and a very good assist.

Nugent - 6. Quiet.

Beckford - 4. Laughable.

Sorry?

I must be seeing something different to everyone else, Beckford was diabolical. He's been improved lately but last night was a piss poor show.

Col was laying into Beckford last night.

I was at the game and cant agree with this at all.

I thought he continued his excellent work of late and was unlucky not to get reward for chasing a loss cause later on in the second half.

When he sat his arse on the ball and got a free kick in the first half it made me laugh also!

I was positive about everyone else mate....

Especially Big Wes...

Schmeichel 6.5 - Did fine. Distribution mixed.

Peltier 6.5 - Standard

Morgan 8 - Solid.

St. Ledger 8 - Classy on the ball. Massive step up from Mills if we're going to play anything resembling a progressive game.

Konchesky 7 - Standard Konchesky performance but wasted a couple of free kicks in decent areas.

Marshall 6 - Put a couple of decent set pieces in, but I barely noticed he was on the pitch for most of the game.

Danns 8 - His first half performance was ridiculous - I don't think I can recall a City player striking the ball so well so consistently in one half. Second half faded.

Wellens 7 - Did fine, kept the ball well. Still moves it too slowly, although that will never change.

Dyer 8 - Brilliant for most of the first half, disappeared for most of the second half and then somehow contrived to miss a glorious chance (that was of his own making).

Nugent 6 - Not his best game.

Beckford 5.5 - See Nugent, but with a desperate inability to retain possession.

subs:

Delfouneso 5.5 - Did little better than Beckford.

Bamba 5.5 - I was not remotely convinced by him at right back. Derby got a lot of joy down that side when he came on. Good to see him back though.

Drinkwater 6 - Tidy.

Fans sounded great on the telly.
