Ghost of Clough

Osayande on for Perry in a straight swap at RB. Gough on for Eames, with McAndrew moving to AM

Heartbreak. Thompson does very well to save 1v1, but the ball bounces into the path of another attacker following up

Utd atill struggling to deal with McAndrew, but his end product needs to improve Excellent defending by Gill in a few phases of play

Man Utd midfielder has 2 attempts at pulling back Wheeldon. Yellow card shown. Osong causing trouble down the right now

First time I've heard a Derby youth side described as physical 😅 Wheeldon cuts inside and fires a shot against the crossbar. Keeper dailies on the ball and fires a long ball straight into the pressing Brown. Ball goes wide of the goal

Gill takes one for the team to keep things level. He took a bang to the knee but should continue.

Allen struggled to get involved as much as he'd have liked in the first half and is replaced by Osong - he'll add more pace to the side so we'll hope to stretch play a bit more and get in behind the LB.

Hawkins lucky to not get booked this time, as he pulled his man back as Man Utd broke forward. Utd finding space behind Perry, who perhaps needs to pick up a more defensive position off the ball in the rest of the game. McAndrew worked a bit of space inside the box but his shot is too central to cause any real trouble.

Brilliant save from Thompson to deny a great shot from the muddle of the box Edit: shot was more central than I thought

Harsh yellow for Allen. Both players stretched for the ball with the Utd player come off worse

Brown mistimed his run and would have been 1 on 1 thanks to a lovely ball over the top from Wheeldon McAndrew got down the wing and pulled to the ground by the defender. Should have been a yellow. Allen took the resultant freekick and a bit of ping pong in the box before the keeper clings to Brown close range header.

It's worth noting that Man Utd have won 10 out of 10 games this season, and are 9 points ahead of 2nd place Liverpool, having played 1 game less.

Good run down the left by McAndrew who crosses low into Allen and shoots just wide

Man Utd scored a well work goal curled onto the fsr side of the net. Ruled out for offside.

Started the last 10 games since returning from injury, scoring 4 goals

Not far off a full strength U18 side, with Cox being the main absentee.

Once prior to security and once when at the gate. It used to be fairly common to also have it 'checked' when boarding the plane, but it seems to rarely happen to me nowadays (probably because I have bags in one arm and a toddler in the other.

In the league only, minutes played per yellow are: 1. Thompson - 201 2. Collins - 248 3. Hourihane - 260 4. Sibley - 280 5. Forsyth - 325 6. Cashin - 325 7. Washington - 496

From that list there are 68 I haven't watched all the way through or not at all. I haven't watched these all the way through: Godfather (x3), Schindler's List, Casablanca, Citizen Kane, Singing in the Rain, Goodfellas, Fargo And these at all: Raging Bull, Lawrence of Arabia, Vertigo, On the Waterfront, Sunset Blvd., West Side Story, 2001: A Space Odyssey, Chinatown, Dr Stangelove, Some Like It Hot, Ben-Hur, Amadeus, From Here to Eternity, Unforgiven, A Streetcar Name Desire, The Philadelphia Story, An American in Paris, The Best Years of Our Lives, My Fair Lady, Doctor Zhivago, The Searchers, Patton, The Treasure of the Sierra Madre, The Apartment, Platoon, High Noon, Dances with Wolves, The Pianist, The Deer Hunter, All Quiet on the Western Front, Bonnie and Clyde, The French Connection, City Lights, It Happened One Night, A Place in the Sun, Midnight Cowboy, Mr Smith Goes to Washington, Annie Hall, Giant, Shane, The Grapes of Wrath, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Nashville, Network, The Graduate, American Graffiti, Terms of Endearment, The African Queen, Stagecoach, Mutiny on the Bounty, The Great Dictator, Double Indemnity, The Maltese Falcon, Wuthering Heights, Rear Window, The Third Man, Rebel Without a Cause, North by Northwest, Yankee Doodle Dandy

Who's Eboseli? We certainly won't have a chance of signing our academy graduate, Festy Ebosele. He's played in every league game this season in Serie A, starting 12 out of the last 13 games (half time sub in the other)

Wildsmith Nelson Cashin Fornah Bird Ward Wilson Sibley Mendez-Laing Barkhuizen John-Jules

Believe it or not, there is a lot of time during the year when Derby haven't got a game. In fact, we aren't playing 99% of the time.

Hourihane has a worse mins per booking ratio than Sibley. It doesn't matter who plays more or less. This is also despite Sibley making 1.8 successful tackles per 90 vs Hourihane's 1.5

The only red he's ever had in professional football was the one against West Brom which got overturned. He picks up less yellows than Hourihane, yet few people comment on it.

2-1 loss in the end. Allen scored in the 80th minute to pull us level. We lost to a 98th minute own goal
