Two goals from Tom Lawrence and a Jason Knight effort have put the Rams firmly in charge on an afternoon to forget so far for Garry Monk’s side.

Remarkably, going into today’s game at S6, Phillip Cocu’s outfit had only picked up 11 points on their travels – with just eight coming since their opening day win at Huddersfield Town in August.

@sargi_99 Got to feel sorry for the fans paying on day at Hillsborough #swfc

@SteelOwl Last out, lights out #SWFC

@RickSmith789 The merry go round continues. Players get a big win next lifts that pressure turn up next game “we can relax a bit here” 0-3 down simple as it has been for the last four years #swfc #wawaw

@benbrazier That last gasp win against Charlton didn’t fool me. We’re still absolutely ***** and Monk has to go. Any fan who says he’s the long term answer is a moron. #swfc #monkout

@DaddyIbbo A HUGE problem. Same midfield pair we had 4 years ago. It’s not rocket science #SWFC

@SheffWedWOTMT Back to Blackburn level of performance then, energyless, no commitment and inept. What can you do with this bunch of players except clear the lot out? Shambles #swfc

@srigley Bet Man City are worried...#swfc

@ndunne76 Blackburn at home 0-5, Reading at home 0-3 and currently 0-3 V derby at home...... all against teams wearing dark shirt, white shorts, white socks!! Coincidence? Ban this Away kit #swfc #wawaw

@relfmj From the start we've looked like we've not known whether to press high or set some kind of a defensive block. They have then had acres of space to play out and through, built confidence then we've made basic mistakes. This is manager and players at fault.#swfc

@L88eeb #swfc are utterly garbage defensively and utterly garbage tactically. There’s no plan from the manager, no effort from the players. The club’s a joke from top to bottom. Other than that, there’s lots of positives.

@Dastardly_Mutt I dont changes managers and I’m not sure who is available out there but can anyone convince me as to why Garry Monk is the guy to take us forward or even keep us where we are?. I’m just not getting it #swfc

@AshleyLloyd5 Awful 45 minutes. Granted we couldn't do anything about the first goal but Dawson can't make a save, the defence seems to give the ball away at every opportunity and Lee's nearly gifted a 4th when he refused to take it down from the air. Really poor #swfc
