Thanks for the footage. Slightly odd that the Spurs chances have three replays, including from behind the goal, but the Rams chances only have two replays (the same footage twice). Second goal well onside. As @Jubbssays, the first is tight, but when I freeze-framed it I'd say the attacker is onside. And I think attack should be given the benefit of the doubt. But from these highights we look competitive, and that's a credit to everyone involved after everything we've been through.

Was at the game, thought the lads did very well, Evans and Richards my stand outs , Bucky and Johnno doing a good job with these lads , hope for the future.   COYR

DRobinson and Bardell have dropped out of the first team squad. You'd expect Fornah and John-Jules come in. Perhaps there's another injury in the squad or Radcliffe will be there as a reserve option.

Forgot to mention Harry Evans, MOTM so far, despite our possession,  Spurs are dangerous every time they attack.

Yes, enjoyable game. Hope Bardell is okay, was playing well.
Brown giving the Spurs defenders a tough time. Carlos Richards looking useful too - what he lacks in height he makes up for in effort. Harvey White has had to be on his toes against him! 
Their number 8 looks useful. 

Do you know why? We wondered why he wasn't there.
Regarding midfield,  Robinson was a big miss when he had to drop into the back four to cover for Max.
We did tire and Evans made a string of fine saves to keep the score respectable.  
Brown worked his socks off but got little service second half. Richards bright but faded. Don't know the Spurs team apart from Harvey White, of course, but they looked quite a bit older than us. 
I thought there might have been an offside in the build up to the second goal but the linesman was up with play so unlikely. 
I enjoyed the game overall and it's good to see us being more competitive against a top team. 

Hadn’t considered that but, yes, I think that’ll be the case, @RoyMac5.

Games have always been played Friday or Monday, I think it's out of Derby's control.
Rather the opposite, but I also think we have joined the Central League playing mostly on Tuesdays to give some game time to the bench players, keep them match fit. 

Here's a report  https://awayonsaturday.blogspot.com/2023/08/derby-county-u21s-3-1-mansfield-town.html?m=1 that was pasted on the Mansfield Website.  It is very complimentary of our lads, in particular Ben Radcliffe, who the author had already been impressed by, presumably when he was playing for Burton.

😂⚽️🤣
Sorry. I think it’s the same deadline for permanent transfers and loans.

It looks that way

Many thanks, @Anon. Much appreciated.

Started with 4-4-2.
I'm afraid I can't give you all the positions since I'm not familiar with the team yet. Sims played right back. Steggles and Jackson at centre back. Ashton and Mosby started up front. I felt things looked better when Rai was introduced and Mosby dropped deeper to receive the ball to feet. Wolves were supremely dominant in the air and were happy to sit in and invite long balls and crosses because they knew they could deal with them pretty easily. Sutherland really set the tone for a much improved second half by putting herself about and upsetting Wolves' rhythm in the middle. Derby probably deserved a draw on balance of play, but Wolves were well organised and I imagine they'll be in the promotion mix again.
