Good job I’m sitting on my sofa eating biscuits rather than managing this team! 🤣

Unleash Blackett-Taylor! Don’t know why we paid money for him if he’s not going to play 

Great early ball from Hourihane on that free kick, he seems on it today.

Well they did say he had an illness. 

Lordy the amount of bird s**** on that tarp canopy 🤢

That’s two bad challenges from them already.

Gayle played it out wide, then attempted to make a run into the box. I say attempted, because he was being dragged back the whole time

2nd very late challenge. Neither worthy of a yellow according to the ref

Gayles movement really is a cut above

We’ve started really well, Ward’s delivery has been excellent already and some nice touches from Gayle.

Very bright start. 1 good opportunity came to an end when the lino incorrectly flagged offside. 
Calls for a penalty ignored.
Tasty freekick from Ward whizzes across the box infront of our attackers.

Poor formation for an away day breakfast plate imho; sausage should be between the defensive beans and rotated to prevent the midfield scrambled egg being encumbered with defensive duties. Egg should be deployed further forward and ahead of the hash-browns, with the mushrooms out wide but given license to cut in and play as a number 10. Really don’t believe the combination of fried & scrambled eggs ever works; they’re just too similar. At least one of the slices of toast should’ve been given a starting position to give added structure to the team, supporting the bacon which appears somewhat isolated and awkwardly placed in the way of the hashbrowns. Bizarrely part of the beans seem to currently be deployed as a wing-back…I can’t see that working at all. I’m liking the look of the fresh orange on the bench but not sure it’s got enough in the tank to last the whole 90 minutes. Just don’t think that line-up is going to cut the mustard today. Really need the lad Brown on there too, just to spice it up a bit. 

We’re on our way, we’re on our waaaaayy!…

Looking forward to the trip. It was at this match last year that I found myself sitting next to B4 for the first time, although I was too shy to tell him I knew who he was! Ultimately it was because of him that I started posting after years of reading, as I wanted to pay my respects. So here's to B4, thanks for getting me involved, and if you can, three points would go down nicely. 

Nearly made 1951 !  My first game was to have been v Man City away on 5th Jan 1952, but went down with appendicitis between Christmas and New Year, ending up in hospital and having  the appendix removed.... Rams lost 4-2 .
First game ended up being Fulham away, 1st May 1952, where we lost 3-0. Notables that day were Bert Mozley, Reg Harrison, Tommy Powell, Jackie Stamps, Johnny Morris, Jack Lee and Jack Parry (deceased 2023).
 
 

Some absolute crackers there.
