California Ram.

2 more tonight and 8 scoring games in a row…..his side top of the Western Conference, forget Higuain and Chicarito….Johnny Russell’s the MLS star. 

Derby 1 - 0 ckr

Good second half - have watched back their offside goal and i’m not convinced. After regularly deserving more points - great to get one from under pressure. 

Espn commentary ‘what great support from the Coventry fans’ to the noise of ‘when the Rams go marching in’. We’re beating them in the crowd ! 

Are we allowed to bring Thompson on ?

Say what you want about Mel’s transfer record, his record on compensation for managers is as good as it gets ? 

Great first half - killed an emotional day for Preston early - Festy is a rare talent, let’s hope he continues to grow (and signs an extension with us !). Sure pen not given again, some decent long range saves from their keeper too. Keep the faith, clean sheet despite three defensive changes - Knighty like a new signing. 

0-1 Knight

2-1 Derby’s 10 men giving Charlton way too much space. 15 minutes left. 

2-0 

louis watson with a great finish then Max Bardell sent off for a second yellow card.

No Cashin, Brown or Hutchinson…..

Cashin sick apparently but was in the side announced on Instagram

One look at that bench underlines the miracles being performed with a tiny first team squad. No strikers, no centre backs. Really feel for Caishin, if it wasn’t for the EFL rules - surely he’d be involved. 

Derby 1-0 Knight

Another thoroughly enjoyable day out. After 2 years locked down. I’m admittedly easy to please with live football. Noticeable for me -

Rooney/Rosenoir using the full backs to stretch the pitch and regularly having them further up than Shinnie/Bird. 
 

Bringing on young Dylan rather than Joswiak/Sibley in the end - smart and a sign of how much he’s trusted. 
 

Ravel’s struggled to impose himself on the last two games but has moments of genius that a more confident strike force would love. 
 

Knight’s energy is such a benefit - needs more match time after a ruined pre season but his enthusiasm is contagious and he’s always forcing mistakes and picking up loose balls. 
 

Allsop and the centre backs happy to vary ‘tippy tappy’ with the occasional long ball. Less dogmatic than a few games ago now. 

Derby 1-0 Baldock

Show the fighting spirit of today (and West Brom and Stoke) and we’re going to have plenty of enjoyable/memorable moments. Hope that we’ll find real owners by Jan who can tie our talent down to longer term contracts, and then we build again even if it is from league 1.

Shattered after first game back since covid. Brilliant in the Derby end, gutsy performance on the pitch. Wish Kazim had been there

Keep going @B4ev6is - we need your enthusiasm on here to brighten the mood. We’ve been through plenty of tough times with DCFC and we’ve always come out the other side. We’ll be back ! 

1-1 Baldock

Great third from Stretton  - deflected long range shot

Maybe we could move these games to the afternoons to save on the electricity bills and helps us actually see the ball. 

How good was that - a ‘Bird-day’ goal - Ravel pulling the strings. Love the way Ravel bosses his teammates.
