    San Fran Van Rams got a reaction from LeedsRam1999 in Wayne Rooney   
    Wasn't Rooney's biggest fan, even a week or so ago. But to see the crap that he's been dealt with during pre season with no funds, inability to bring in transfers and an owner who doesn't want to be there, I'm starting to warm to him and what he's about. You can see his desire to succeed and I do think he is doing all he can to bring Derby out of the mire we're in.
    He's assembling what could be a fairly competitive squad and managed to pull a team together today that produced a result without having played together. Huddersfield aren't the strongest side in the division but you have to play what's in front of you. 
    He's got some games to win before he proves himself as manager but Im routing for him.

    Ah, I see where you're coming from.
    But I do agree with @kash_a_ram_a_ding_dong that we are much more aware of how to do something about it these days.
    Be warned (not you!) Anybody near me at a football match this season who starts with any racist, homophobic or other crap WILL get reported.

    It's all still subject to international clearance so even if he had signed yesterday, its unlikely that'd have come through in time anyway.
    Welcome Ravel!! Let's see what all this hype is about. Excited to see him in a Derby shirt.

    Good to get a point today given the turbulence over pre season. Was impressed by Roos, Bird, Shinnie and Forsyth today, and Sibley changed the game when he came on with his forward runs and confidence. Pretty sure Sibley had half our total shot count. Shinnie won the ball well, Bird played fairly positively and recycled the ball well and Forsyth's crosses we're quite dangerous. Roos looked composed, great shot stopping and sucked up pressure with his catching. 
    Davis and Stearman looked ok together but there were a couple of nervy moments. Defending set pieces and the odd down the channel balls causing issues. Not sure how much of that comes down to Roos, but as experienced CBs I want them to step up.
    Typical CKR performance. We need an alternative though as he won't be able to do that all season. Lawrence and Watson put themselves around but didn't create enough for me and Byrne was up and down that right side but again didn't really do anything of note. 
    As others have said, with the ball at his feet, Joz looks great but end product just doesn't seem to be there. No killer instinct today and multiple shooting or final ball opps were not taken/wasted. Not sure whether he needs more time off or more freedom in a Derby shirt but he needs to show a lot more. 
    Didn't think Ebosele or Hutchinson did much when they came on but glad they got minutes. 
    Add some creativity from Morrison, give Sibley more time and get Bielik back and we're not half bad.

    Hey ho .. a win would have been great but a draw was a fair result. They were a big side, not shy in the tackle and shirt pulling department.
    Fantastic to be back .. great atmosphere 
    As others have said Joz was ok today but not as dangerous as you would like to think. Not his best game.
    I thought Fozzy had a great game, won lots in the air and some tidy head ons and line balls in the right place. He is an intelligent footballer, past his prime, but there’s some real quality there. Winced in the second half when he went down .. but all ok thank goodness.
    Kaz.. Bulwark. He is so tough ! .. needs runners closer
    Midfield do ok but we lie too deep. Bird is a good player but he’s better further up. He’s more creative than he’s given credit for but can’t show it where he is on the pitch. 
    Watson .. continued to look like a cracking prospect. Hungry, aggressive, quick .. booking he got was harsh. I want to see replays because I’d bet that was a penno 
    Curtis and Stearman .. both did damned well considering the press, but they did look stretched when Hudds played the channels
     Byrne Lawrence Shinnie all worked and competed hard 
    Festy and Sibbo added some much needed Zip, muscle and threat.
    Shout out for Roos .. some great saves, dealt with their high press well and that save with his right foot was instinctive skill and top drawer. 
     
    Ref and east stand Lino get 4/10 .. some very poor decisions and unbalanced card issuing relative to offences. Some blatant shirt pulling .. pushing to get a corner and a 50/50 against Watson that didn’t just go against him (ok)  it got him a card. (Not ok )
     
    looking forward to Tuesday ??????
