Derby County were held to a 1-1 draw by Queens Park Rangers in the Championship at Loftus Road.
It is six games without a win now for Derby County, as two points were stolen away in the most frustrating fashion on Tuesday night.
Andreas Weimann looked set to end a disappointing recent run at Loftus Road and breathe fresh life into the Rams’ promotion prospects. But, just three minutes from time, a Massimo Luongo header earned QPR a point which leaves Derby nine adrift of the second automatic promotion spot.
And once again fans took to Twitter to criticise the display of Tom Lawrence. With a £7 million price tag hanging over his head, supporters are right to expect far more of the former Leicester City man who flattered to deceive, and not for the first time in West London.
Lawrence was amazing at times during a loan spell at Ipswich Town last season, scoring some sensational goals and winning games on his own.
That match-changing ability has barely been seen in Derby colours however, and he has just three goals and a slightly more impressive six assists to his name after 29 appearances this season.
But another no-show against QPR means the patience is quickly starting to run out. If Derby are to turn around this wretched run, they need players like Lawrence at the top of their game.
