Derby County were beaten 3-1 by Leicester City in the FA Cup yesterday evening.

Derby County fans have criticised Nick Blackman, for his performance against Leicester City last night.

Blackman was handed a rare start for Derby against the Rams in the FA Cup, but he failed to grasp his opportunity to impress.

The former Reading man was on the periphery of the game, as Derby slipped to a defeat.

Derby's Nick Blackman scores the second goal from the penalty spot

Leicester took the lead early on in the second half through an Andy King header, and although Abdoul Camara’s deflected strike took the match to extra time, Steve McClaren’s side were unable to progress.

Leicester scored a second through Wilfred Ndidi, before the outstanding Demarai Gray wrapped up the triumph.

Derby fans still took some positives out of their performance at the King Power Stadium, but Blackman’s display was definitely not looked upon with too much fondness.

Here is the best reaction to Blackman’s display on social media website Twitter.

Leicester will now go on to face Millwall in the fifth round of the cup competition.
