It would’ve been BYOB apparently.

We’re on our way, we’re on our wayyyyy…Corey Blacket-Taylor’s in the fray…

In Fide fiducia

…if only the lad Taylor could shoot as well as run fast 😏

Please don’t apologise @angieram. Au contraire well done for your proactive action with the steward. There were lots of male Rams leaving the black hole of a toilet with wet shoes but fair play to Lincoln they eventually found an emergency lamp so we were no longer peeing in the dark. 😮

31Vickers: 7 Good game. 2 full-length saves & snuffed out the 1 v 1. 2Wilson: 7 Slotted in well and did the defensive work well. Distributed well. Consequently muted his attacking play. 35Nelson: 7.5 Solidity personified. A thumping headed chance was straight at their keeper. 6Cashin: 6 Was beaten for pace 3x by Taylor which is unusual to see. Picked up a half-mark for clearing off the line. 20Elder: 6.5 Probably his best game yet after his Burton nightmare. Looked a sharper more solid version of himself. Some nice long passes. 7Barkhuizen: 6 Posed some threat but marshalled by their defence. 16Thompson: 6 Brought industrial energy in the final quarter without finding a foothold to exploit. 8Bird: 7.5 Weaved away constantly in the engine room in a crowded space. 4Hourihane: 6 A little off the pace of the game & couldn’t quite deliver the killer ball. 11Méndez-Laing: 7 Early threats when he powered through but thereafter well marshalled. 17Sibley 6 Good early game cross which found Nelson’s forehead. 19John-Jules 6 Would like to see him step-up and link up with Collins more. He needs to take a lead not play 2nd & 3rd fiddle. 9Collins: 6.5 A couple of half-chances in the box but a game of feeding off scraps. Credit to Imps who put in a huge effort to thwart Derby, and actually had the far better chances in a game that Derby bossed possession wise. A draw was a fair outcome. We need another option to draw upon via the open window as the sticky pitches become energy-sapping and we move into the 2nd part of the season. We are set fair but not convincingly top 2 quality yet.

Yes they do…wrapped up in a carpet 😲

We’re on our way, we’re on our wayyyyyy…

Hear! Hear! @angieram.

Is @Big Travan AI robot? Or is that just @Boycie & Hello Dave @David 😲🤷‍♂️

Multi-syllabic-named players Assuming he passes his medical, I suspect Corey-Blackett-Taylor (6 syllables) will be the player with the joint-most syllables ever to have played for the Rams. Furthermore, there is a rising trend here what with Nath-an-iel-Men-des-Laing and Ty-reece-John-Ju-les. Oh I long for the days of the mono-syllabics like Mick Coop, Tom Ince, Dave Webb et alia. No wonder we can't come up with any decent songs that scan prop-er-ly 😲

I strongly suspect Sibbo for Elder. Sibbo shored up the left when he came on the other night. Elder will need support & careful rehab following his mistake; he’s clearly too much of a risk for this week’s game.

It’s been standard for a good while now that 1 player holds the fort. To my mind, Elder is the last pick for that job - I have to say he’s a big question mark generally in my book. In the past it’s been Corey Smith, Nyambe, so players with a mostly defensive brief, who’re least likely to score.

Spot on @DavesaRamabout midfield and Sibley & Wilson.

Form tables strongly suggest Away win…but we know Madame Football can be a cruel hoaxer …
