Derby County will be looking for some better form and consistency in the next third of the Sky Bet Championship season with them struggling to string results together so far.
They lost to bitter rivals Nottingham Forest last time out in the East Midlands derby and that leaves them in the bottom half of the table, something that they would have not been expecting after making the play-off final in 2018/19.
There is plenty of work for Cocu and co. to be getting on with during this international break, then, and it seems as though Rams fans are beginning to lose patience with one of their players; the on-loan Kieran Dowell.
Indeed, this discussion has been rumbling on Twitter and it could well be the case few would be bothered when he goes back to Everton right now:
You kind of worry for Kieran Dowell when Derby County's young lads completely outshone him again for the U23s. It must be demoralizing and he's probably asking himself where he goes from here #dcfcfans #dcfc

I would also send Patterson back to Bristol City, the loans this summer have been poor.

Sadly not good enough for even the bench now. Time for Sibley, Bird etc to be given exposure ahead of a player that we don't own. His loan should be cut early now and sent back to Everton

Get Sibley in the first 11, ASAP.

Dowell has a job on to change minds, then, and remains to be seen if he can do it.
