WestStandStartTheBounce

In the west stand it is pretty loud. I noticed it was breaking up a bit on the first game so maybe needs some maintenance. I also notice a few of the square on the video screen have gone faulty. 
Fully agree with sufferingfool that playing music up until kick off doesn't help the south stand build the atmosphere.

Taking out the goal on Saturday I actually thought it was his best game for Derby on Saturday( That wasn't hard though). Having McGoldrick along side him would have obviously helped.
From what I have seen of him so far though I'm far from convinced. Aside from the not scoring I don't think he really adds much to the team. I think Saturday was the first time i saw him win a header. Generally he gets little involvement in the game and the opposition defenders seem to have him in their pocket all game. On current form I can't see him scoring more than 10 goals over the season. I guess the question comes do you stick with him or bench him. That's a tough call. I think give him a couple more games to see if he can show something. If not I think you start giving Osula a chance.

Wildsmith 6 Did OK, better than the previous two games when there were some real dodgy monents
Knight 6 Did what he was asked.
Forsyth 7 If it was on the first half I would have given him 8. he was our best player in that first half and it seemed he was our only option of building an attack. Plymouth realized this and brought on a big lad to compete in the air in the second half.
 Cashin 6 He did make mistakes that cost us but I thought overall he still showed some quality defensive moments
Stearman 6 I thought he had an OK game
Bird  6 Average, a bit of a flat performance.
Hourihane 5 Poor game.
Mendez-Laing 5 His goal was top drawer but other than that I thought he had little involvement in the game. 
McGoldrick 7 I think he did well and provided a constant attacking threat. It was noticeable when he went off how little we had
Barkhuizen 7 He provided good attacking runs from Fozzy's knock downs. Much better used on the right the right though.
Collins 5. Mainly anonymous as usual. Did score but it was an easy chance. 
 
Subs
Thompson 3 Maybe harsh but just didn't influence the midfield one bit. 
Sibley 6 Done OK but couldn't really do it all on his own.
Osula 6 Made a couple of good runs. Showed great strength. Would be good to see him up front with McGoldrick
Dobbin 5 Did nothing of note

He was free for a reason.
I haven't seen any physical presence from him. he seems to get easily muscled out of it by defenders. seems quite lightweight to me.
CKR, now that's physical presence

For me it is a pointless trophy, even for the teams lower down. It's insulting to have to play under 21 teams. 
Why don't they scrap the EFL trophy and the EFL cup (Premier league teams don't really give a toss about this one). Make one tournament that only the championship and below play and include the national league teams.

We are Derby I like
SBW can take it or leave it there are worse out there
My main gripe is playing music right up to KO stop with 5 min to go and let the atmosphere build of its own accord. If then we want to sing SBW then we’ll sing it!

Thought the Plymouth fans, or at least the 9 or so that I has the displeasure of meeting in the South Car Park were a total disgrace - first set of fans for many years that have wanted to kick off against a mid 50's guy, wife, daughter and son who simply want to go and watch a football match. Let's stop calling fans who travel in large numbers "good supporters" - certainly wasn't the case yesterday.
As for policing, virtually non-existent!! How difficult is it to work out the need for a police presence at the back of the South stand towards the velodrome?

Was a bit shocked at all the aggro at the game yesterday. Probably the worst I’ve seen around the ground. It was kicking off before the game and lots of incidents after the game.
I park in the south car park A. Plymouth fans coming up to the cars etc They’re seemed to be no security or police about.
it seems to have got worse in the last year. Birmingham was another game things were pretty unsavoury in the car park,
the club needs to have a serious think about how they route away fans after the game.  The way it is set up just sets up fans against each other. Maybe direct away fans up behind the arena.
my kids were pretty scared yesterday with he car getting surrounded and people peering in and making offensive gestures and swearing.

Hope we can get our message across from the march. EFL have been shocking in their accountability for the situation we're in. They're shirking their responsibility to Derby.

I was going to get a bite to eat at the ground and want to get to my seat early.

Skys live coverage starts an hour before kick off
get in early…..and make some noise?

Given the size of the crowd and the symbolic importance of the game on Sunday can the club adjust the pre match build up. Instead of having the pa blare out music why not stop the music five minutes before kick off and let the fans take control. The sound of the crowd would be far more inspiring and impactful on the players than the music. Let them feel the atmosphere before they come out the tunnel.
