Some convincing attacking play from Italy but it is a sign of times that an Italian defence is 3 goals to the good with 15 mins to go, and I'm still not convinced they will win! #turchiaitalia

At the risk of stating the bleeding obvious, if you defend poorly and can't score, you're going to lose a lot of games. #dcfc #dcfcfans

Breaking down a well organised defence needs quick passing and movement, inventiveness, and or someone willing to take people on to pull the defence out of shape. We lack all of those qualities for the most part. That is not Derby's game, sadly . #dcfc #dcfcfans

I thought Derby played quite well in the opening 20 mins and looked the better side. Ironically, the sending off did us no favour. Derby's weakness under Eustace is breaking down defensive teams. We never really looked like scoring. #dcfc #dcfcfans

After a really wobbly first 10 mins, Derby stayed in the game and competed without really looking like they could hurt West Ham. 3-0 pretty harsh at the end but there will be easier games. #dcfc #dcfcfans

Much more like it from Derby. Not smooth or silky but solid, determined and full of effort. #dcfc #dcfcfans

A truly woeful performance from Derby and an alarmingly poor attitude from so many players. Defeat is understandable but lack of commitment is not. I only hope that the players recognise that a performance like today's is not acceptable. #dcfcfans #dcfc

A mixed bag from #dcfc this afternoon, good in patches going forward, woefully open at the back at times. Dropping points at home is always frustrating but the few boos at the end were ridiculous. #dcfcfans

Pixies at The Mount (somewhere near Reading). A bit of a drive but well worth the effort.

I had issues with Starmer but didn't want him to go. We all need to resist the social media manipulation that seeks to undermine democracy and the mainstream media fascination with personality and drama. A revolving door at No.10 only reinforces the idea being peddled that democracy has failed.

Disappointing end to a great season. Derby were pretty much in control until Ward had one of his moments. After that, Derby lost all direction and composure and Sheff Utd became the team they really should be. As it happens, it didn't really matter. #dcfcfans #dcfc

Last visit of season (probably) to Pride Park. I can't see any realistic chance of us reaching the play offs but whatever the outcome today it has been a great effort from Derby this season, and one to be more than happy about. #dcfcfans #dcfc

Well, I can't think of anything more eloquent than that was shit. Nothing positive at all to say about Derby, who have picked a strange game to turn in a performance like that. Mindboggling. #dcfcfans #dcfc

When Szmodics said 'we're going to win the play-offs' was he talking about Ipswich?

What an awful opening 20 mins from Derby. They'd be better concentrating on tackling, controlling the ball and passing rather than getting involved in stupid niggles. #dcfcfans #dcfc

A solid if less than sparkling performance from Derby, but at this point the only thing that matters is the result. On to Tuesday, which I think will probably be a bridge too far but we shall see. Whatever happens, it has been an excellent season for Derby. #dcfcfans #dcfc

The injury gods have not been kind to Derby this year and Murkin missing is another blow. However, I'm not sure about pushing Max Johnston over there. I'd have hoped we'd learnt our lesson when we tried to play Elder at right back. Hopefully a different outcome this time. #dcfcfans #dcfc

Solid, professional performance from Derby. Converting a couple more chances would have spared me and a few others from the one-nil jitters but in truth, Stoke never really threatened us. Ozoh a deserved man of the match, for me. I thought he was tremendous today. #dcfcfans #dcfc.

Great effort from Derby but, as has been the case of late, missed chances and some poor defending have cost us. Still probably should have come away with a point. #dcfcfans #dcfx

Banel could and should have scored twice. Appreciate it's difficult when you are not a regular starter but he really should be scoring at least one of those chances. #dcfcfans #dcfc

Alvaro Pancisi @apancisi.bsky.social · 03/04/2026
Good first half from Derby and really should be in front. Bobby Clark proving again that he is far more effective in an advanced position and, for me, still offers more of an attacking threat than Szmodics. #dcfcfans #dcfc

Well, another Word Cup missed for Italy and I have mixed feelings. Sad and frustrated that they didn't qualify and relieved that such a bad side won't be embarrassing the shirt on the world stage. #italia #azzurri 🇮🇹

Having heroically boycotted the world cups hosted by the ugly regimes of Russia and Qatar, Italy are doing their utmost to boycott USA 2026! Beyond proud. 😂🇮🇹

There are insufficient superlatives to describe Tadej Pogacar after that win today. The guy is an absolute freak of nature . Arguably the greatest cyclist the world has ever seen. #milanosanremo

Well, despite a generally poor performance and being second best by some way, Derby probably should have won with the chances they've had. A familiar story. #dcfcfans #dcfc

That is a pair of very strange substitutions. #dcfcfans #dcfc

I am getting increasingly frustrated at messing about with Bobby Clark's position. It's pretty clear to anyone who has watched Derby that he is at his most effective in an advanced midfield position. Szmodics has offered very little so far. #dcfcfans #dcfc

A very underwhelming 45 of minutes of football from Derby. Not really carrying any threat. Credit to Clarke for keeping them out as long as he did! #dcfcfans #dcfc

A slightly odd game, that. Derby comfortable winners despite the scoreline. It should have been more with better finishing. Off the hall, Derby lacked energy for most of the game and will need to be much better on Tuesday. #dcfcfans #dcfc

A much improved second half and in the end it was a comfortable win for Derby. So glad that Travis' moment of idiocy didn't cost us the game. Szomdics had his best game for us. #dcfcfans #dcfc

Alvaro Pancisi @apancisi.bsky.social · 28/02/2026
Eustace trying to shoehorn Travis and Szmodics into this side is having such a negative effect. Clark having to play further back , Ozoh not getting in are both unjustifiable. #dcfcfana #dcfc

Travis is an absolute liability. Ebou infuriated me at times but I'd have him in Travis' place in a heartbeat. #dcfcfans #dcfc

Basically, Derby were generally the better team in the middle third of the pitch but profligate in front of goal and awful in our own box. One of the most bizarre performances I've seen in a long while. #dcfcfans #dcfc

Some achievement this by Derby to be losing this game. It has been a battle of who can have the shittest defence and Derby have won that contest hands down. #dcfcfans #dcfc

Derby have had one or two bright moments but on the whole, the standard of football from both sides has been shocking. #dcfcfans #dcfc

Derby's line up in defence is bizarre. More left footers than a papal conclave. I feel sorry for Elder. #dcfcfans #dcfc

Not been able to watch the game today but it didn't sound great. It's hard to understand how Bobby Clark is not getting in the team at the moment. His form did dip a little in his last couple of starts but still a key player for me. #dcfcfans #dcfc

Whatever the fate of this government, the public and in particular certain aspects of the media need to have a think about this constant frenzy for drama and stories. Sometimes government and politics needs to just be about getting on with the job and not about the ego of some journalists.

Another disappointing day at Pride Park. Ipswich the better side but Derby didn't help themselves with yet another slow start to a game. Also not helped by some awful officiating. #dcfcfans #dcfc
