Watched on Sky 1Wildsmith 5.5 Not a lot to do but shaky from the off. 2Wilson 6 Steady performance 35Nelson 7.5 Usual self 6Cashin 7 Did well 17Sibley 7 Tough winger but did well. 23Ward 8 Excellent goals 16Thompson 6 Energetic as usual 12Smith 7.5 Solid performance 4Hourihane 6 32Adams 7.5 Usual self. Good battling performance 27Blackett-Taylor 7.5 Best game in Derby shirt. Lively, looked dangerous. 14Washington 6 11Méndez-Laing 6 Solid but lacking his early season form 9Collins 6.5 Physical ands put himself about. Good to see him back. 10Waghorn 6 Good performance. Unlucky. Goals offside? and Handball? Although thought the ref did well.

ATG. 1Wildsmith 6.5 Did what he had to do well. Hope he stays. 2Wilson 7 Good performance 35Nelson 8 Back to his best. 6Cashin 7.5 Solid 17Sibley 7 Much better today. Some good corners. Good cross that led to the goal 23Ward 7 Took 20 minutes but then settled well linking with Wilson. 10Waghorn 6 32Adams 7.5 Super goal. Energetic. Normal service resumed. 12Smith 7 Added much needed energy and security to midfield. 4Hourihane 6 27Blackett-Taylor 7 His best 60 minutes. Lively and looked dangerous at times. More to come. 16Thompson 6.5 Usual Thompson. Energetic and lively. 11Méndez-Laing 6.5 Did ok but not fully fit to me. Indicated hammy problems again. Hopefully nothing too serious. 22Fornah 6 Thought he did ok. 14Washington 4 Clearly not fully fit. Gets extra point for that but for me disappointing. Missed good chance. 9Collins 6.5 Good to see him back and I thought he did well. Lively and physical. Needed for final 5 games. They say a week is a long time in football. Was really disappointed seeing them at Northampton but enjoyed yesterday's game. Energy and effort were back. Defended well. Tactics worked letting them have the ball although as the home team it would have been nice to see more attacking. Great result that's all that matters.

Having been at Northampton on Saturday I am still bitterly disappointed by that performance and not at all confident now about automatics. Just cannot see us scoring many goals unless CBT comes good and we get Collins back !! It's alright saying goodie we will have to revert to a back four now but we don't have the defensive full backs available ie Nyambe and Fozzy. Likewise midfield. No creativity. When is Bird back ? Have to drop Hourihane - Smith DM and push Adams forward? Edge of seat stuff and as I said after the Bolton win - it will go to the last day of the season, it's the Derby way !!

ATG. 1Wildsmith 5.5 Did nothing wrong but looked shaky right from the off. 35Nelson 5.5 Not his usual self today 5Bradley 4.5 Still seemed concussed to me. Really shaky. Idiotic sending off in the last minute. 6Cashin 5.5 Like Nelson just not his usual dominating self. 2Wilson 5 Seems more effective as a last 30 minute substitute. 32Adams 5.5 Yet another player who tried but something just not there today. Should have scored. 12Smith 5 Steady but ineffective. 4Hourihane 4 Very pedestrian and added little in midfield. Should have been subbed instead of Adams. 17Sibley 5 Started ok. Made chance for Waghorn but faded badly especially after booking. 20Elder 5.5 Steady but not effective. 23Ward 6 Thought he was the best of the Subs and put in some good crosses. Should have started. 10Waghorn 5 Should have scored early on. Tried without any impact. 16Thompson 4.5 Usual energy but no influence at all on the game. 27Blackett-Taylor 5.5 Need more from him 11Méndez-Laing 5 Not his day. Disaster though if he is now injured for any length of time. 14Washington 5.5 Seemed quite lively after a long lay off but no service. What an opportunity missed against a poor Northampton side who lacked first choice players and were on a bad run of form. A complete no show from the players ( was it the pitch, the wind, the movement of the ball seemed different?) and questionable tactics from the Manager. (what were they ??). Very disappointing.

At the game today. Can't help but feel that this could / will be the defining game of the season against a very poor Northampton team lacking several first choice players and on a bad run of form. A complete no show from 1 to 16. Add the NML injury and Bradley's stupid sending off and I fear the worse. It's the Derby way nothing ever straight forward !!

Errr have I missed something or is an apology due ???

Definitely 5 Kath ~(Unlike us ex Henry Cav to have problems with maths 🤣 Pritchards fault !!) Also in the Ossie End for that one. Second tier just above the clock. Had to get there at 1 o/c to get front row with my old friend Robin Morris - where are you now Robin ??

Peterborough have by far the easiest run in. Still think it will go to the last day - it's the Derby way !!!

Was that Adams 10th booking? Is he now suspended ?? 😱

Another goal for Brown tonight although Gateshead lost 2-3 at home.

Wondered if anyone had any up to date tips here. I have gone a bit OTT and booked hospitality in the Toyota Suite for the Port Vale game as a present for my eldest daughter's birthday. She has been accompanying me to matches as season ticket holders since the early 90"s through tick and thin!! Presumably you need to arrive between 12 and 1.00 - what time is the meal usually served? We travel 50 miles from Warwickshire and usually park in Derbion and walk to the ground but on this occasion thought if we parked in car park A or B (which one is better?) near the ground it would be more convenient? Hopefully most of the traffic will have gone by 6.00 when we will probably be leaving. Is that correct? Any constructive tips or comments would be welcome. Thanks.

You are indeed correct Jim. Chris Martin penalty 90+3. Just watched the You Tube highlights. We had 27 shots oh and Leon Best !! 😱

What non league team would that be Jim. Can't recall that one ?

A shame the big man wouldn't let you pull a flanker with Collins but you made amends with Sibley's 90th minute winner. Well done lad !! Keep it going 🤗

Sorry Angie. From my East Lower seat East , North and South were making too much noise for me to hear West. 🤣🤣 Well done West !! 🙌
