Heaton saves United, Davies header down and jagielka flick is tipped away off the line.

Morrison looks smart and composed in the ball. Aluko showed some very neat touches and bit of skill to help set up a chance which Lawrence just nodded over the bar - probably should of scored.
I said yesterday the result doesn’t matter but Derby really need to set down a marker in terms of style, organisation etc and so far we are doing that. Some good movement, winning the ball back, pressing quite high. 

Exactly. If you're not scoring goals in pre season or looking like a team at all, you're in trouble. And that's what happened last season, we were absolutely awful in pre season. Doesn't matter if you lose games, because it's not competitive. But you can tell whether players are just easing their way or just absolutely clueless. 

Hopefully we set a precedent tomorrow. Not necessarily in terms of the result but just in the style of play, organisation etc. You can’t always read a lot into pre season but last preseason we really struggled to score goals and boy did that carry into pretty much the entire campaign. It would be good to get a positive pre season under our belts especially with all that’s going out around the club.

I may be making it up but I’m certain Stephen Pearce or one of our statements alluded to this being true. Maybe it’s just wishful thinking. 

Tbh if I was going to base my season tickets purchases on the quality of our squad - out of the 17 I’ve had Id probably only ever have gotten one ?.

Do we have any players to go back in?!

I love the way they throw Bowyer getting the Salford City job as if that was symptomatic of our crisis.
 

Is it just me who remembers George Burley just avoiding relegation and followed it up with an excellent season by only bringing in free transfers - keep the faith folks
