Derby boss Nigel Clough rued the way his team conceded a 90th-minute equaliser to draw 1-1 at Portsmouth. Steve Davies put the Rams in front by the break and it looked like being enough to secure only their second win in 12 games before David Nugent netted a late leveller.
Clough said: "Naivety has kicked in so many times this season. The players we have are very inexperienced and don't seem to be learning as quickly as we would like them to.
"It should have been all three points on a number of occasions this season. But we make inadequate decisions in the last five minutes of games.
"I think we've conceded more goals between 80 and 90 minutes than any other team in the league.
"The goals were two great finishes. But the ball shouldn't have been anywhere near our box in the 90th minute."
On goalscorer Davies, he added: "Steve has been out a long time. That was his first start, and he's going to play a part in the next 17 games.
"Unfortunately, he'll just be getting to full fitness as we're finishing and going into the summer.
"He didn't finish the game and he has played 19 full league games in his career. You can see how far he has had to come back from. He has not played regularly at all in the last five years.
"He has an awful long way to go and it will be next season, if he stays injury free, before he gets to full fitness."
Portsmouth tactician Steve Cotterill admits it is hard to play the way he wants to play.
Cotterill said: "We do need to be stronger here (at Fratton Park). It's very difficult. We were at home and potentially we wanted to start at 4-4-2.
"We wanted to do that but we are a player missing. If we had still had Utaka (who was the latest player exit when he joined Montpellier earlier in the week), we would have gone 4-4-2 from the kick-off. But we need someone to balance off that left-hand side for us. It has been a headache."
Portsmouth started with an on-loan back line and Cotterill added: "When I went into the stand, someone said 'you need to get a back four, Steve.' Well that's great, but it would probably cost us about £3million if we wanted to get some good ones.
"Does anybody not think I want that? You give me the money and I'll spend it - 100%. But I'm working with what I have, and quite often we've had four loan players at the back. How ideal is that?"
Asked why he watched the second half from the stands, he commented further: "I had words with the fourth official at half time and the referee said to me 'I think it would be a good idea Steve that you don't get in any more trouble and you stay up in the stand in the second half'.
"He was right. So I didn't get in any trouble; I didn't get sent off. He just said it would be a wise decision for me not to get involved in anything.
"I suppose I have to thank him for that really because he was right. I might have got in some trouble."
