Overall it was a fair result that showed a bit more defensive discipline again, but less threat than I hoped to see. Paterson, Whyte, Bennett and Murphy disappointed me - and I agree that Glatzel showed less than in previous games despite finally getting his first goal (I expected him to be on fire in the second half - but he was subdued). Bacuna did well again, and Hoilett and NML made a very strong case for starting positions in place of Murphy and Whyte. Some good things, some poor and no sense yet that this is a team heading for the top six.
I was interested in Cocu's moans after the game and his calls for VAR. He clearly has a case with the penalty not given to Derby when Bennett committed the foul - but against that their goal should have been chalked off for Waghorn's handball, Malone's bad foul on Whyte went unpunished, Lawrence's worse foul on Mozzer arguably went underpunished, and Waghorn dived for that final Derby free kick (he was hoping to cheat his way to a penalty). Derby had marginally the better chances, but I thought they benefitted most from mistakes and bad calls.
