This Derby vs Bristol City is a dreadful game. So boring. The commentator is struggling to find anything to say.

Hopefully it stays incredibly dull throughout with no goals!

No shock in here that one of those is Nathan Baker!!

He went off in another game hurt, but was back for the next one.

Our squad is so stretch now, we've had 7 players injured at the same time for nearly 3 months, and one of the players whose been fit has been playing with a hernia!

Diedhiou who came on for Baker wont be match ready yet either, but at least adds another dimension when going forward.

jesus. anything to do with training you reckon?

Our physio did an video update at the start of December and said it wasnt down to training or how we play.

At least 2 were from bad tackles, O'Dowda put in a poor tackle and got hurt doing it, Diedhiou- now back- ripped 3 ligaments landing awkwardly after a Palace player made a back for him back in October.

Our first choice RB has struggled with muscle problems, possibly related to the tempo of the league- after our Reading win he was huddled in a corner muttering "it's so fast, it's so fast"- he had only played in Italy until this season.

So frustrating when it seems to be down to bad fortune.

Interesting about your RB, people like to play down the standard of this league and the Premier League in comparison to Europe’s leagues but you so often hear players talk about how difficult it is to play at the pace and physicality of English football.

I think his career has mostly been at teams at the top end of Serie B, so not sure what that standard is like, he had a few seasons in Serie A too, but no way would he have been used to Saturday-Tuesday games from the start of the season.

Wright has done a decent job at RB, but we've missed Pisano as an attacking outlet because he loves to bomb forward.

We're very lopsided when going forward, but when we eventually get Pisano and O'Dowda back that should change.
