Ellafella reacted to Matchday Fred in The run-in: some analysis
90 pts should do it, 92 certainly will. Focus on that rather than what other teams are doing. Win the next game, that is all for now.

Ellafella reacted to Ian Buxton's Bat in Derby V Bolton: Player Ratings
RTV
Wildsmith….8.5…..two magnificent saves
35Nelson….8…..it’s getting boring now……Solid.
3Forsyth…8.5….superb return.
6Cashin….8…..see Nelson
23Ward…..5.5……did Ok. Essentially played in a back 5 which isn’t his forte.
2Wilson…..7.5….good goal and runs the clock down better than anyone else. Really good.
32Adams…7….another very good afternoon. Everywhere.
4Hourihane….5.5….funny one. Thought he deserved to be hooked and then thought we really missed him for 30 mins. Needs an extra body in there if it’s a back 5 rather than a back 3
16Thompson….6….poor for 30 mins then came good at a vital time
17Sibley…..6….essentially played in a back 5. Did ok
20Elder…..6.5…good first touch!
7Barkhuizen…..6…..ok-ish in a poor-ish first half. Hope he’s fit as he’s great at relieving pressure when we’re under the cosh
10Waghorn….6….glad he’s fit….needs to find proper decent form now Gayle is out
25Gayle……6….quiet before injury
12Smith…..7.5……very quietly had a fantastic game
11Méndez-Laing….7…..not his best game but constant outlet and threat. Worked hard.

1Wildsmith - 9 Best match winning performance in a Derby shirt. The odd wayward pass but one world class save and another great one to keep it 0–0. The first one is his save of the season so far. MOTM for me.
35Nelson - 8 Played well. With their front line it’s a battle all game which he was equal to.
3Forsyth - 8.5 Played well. With their front line it’s a battle all game which he was equal to. Also an extra .5 for having a better passing range and also not looking out of place after not starting for a considerable time.
6Cashin - 8 As above with Nelson but thought he did an immense covering and shielding job time and time again, got caught out for first and the second big chance so loses .5 for that.
23Ward - 6 Was having a solid game until his calf tightened up.
2Wilson - 8.5 When he’s on it like that you can’t ask for a better person to terrify the opposition, get some crosses in and most importantly hold up the ball and waste precious time. And he scored to win us the game!
32Adams - 8.5 what an absolute player. As other have said, if he’d been with us all year we’d be 15 points clear. Must be covered in bruises after every game. Half inflicted by him but half by the opposition giving him a kicking. Should have won a peno as well.
4Hourihane - 4 Thought 3 games in a week would be too much and he was the weak link even before his 20 mins of legs left him. After that he was a massive liability who kept giving the ball away and also couldn’t track any player. As much as a good servant he’s been he’s no longer a starter for me.
16Thompson - 8 In the half he played he showed what we are missing from that player who can give us the old Knight energy as well as holding the ball up and drawing a crowd of opposition players to him before finding an open white shirt. Best game from him for a while and pushing for a start.
17Sibley - 7 Had a job to do defensively which he did, got overlapped for the second big chance but he was on his man. Got pulled at the right time being on a yellow and not giving the ref any descision to make on another tackle.
20Elder - 7 Short cameo gave us an assist and a solid defensive presence. Perfect subs job.
7Barkhuizen - 7 Was doing a good job before moving to a very unfamiliar role which he struggled with. He helped get us to half time which was vital. Unlucky with an injury after playing better in recent weeks.
10Waghorn - 6 Looks off the pace of the game but did a job of that striker role. Was a good call not to bring him on as the direct replacement to Gayle as his legs don’t currently have 60 mins in them.
25Gayle - 6 Was a threat while he was on and makes some great runs. Devastated for him with the hamstring but sadly to be expected adding stress after such a lay off from competitive games.
12Smith - 7.5 Did well again and kept it simple and helped sure up the middle. As I’ve said, he was at the end of lots of my criticism early in the season but he’s playing like a different player now.
11Méndez-Laing - 6.5 Struggled with control and end product for much of the game but was a constant threat nevertheless. Never stopped running and gave his all though.
Warne - 9. Managed with all he had at his disposal and made the changes necessary and we got the win.

Ellafella reacted to VulcanRam in Derby V Bolton: Player Ratings
1Wildsmith 9 save of the season first half, and another great save second half, kicking was a bit off
35Nelson 9 Outstanding performance
3Forsyth 9 Great to have him back, rock solid and good on the ball
6Cashin 9 Head, head, slide tackle, head
23Ward 6.5 Was having a decent game but obviously had a knock
2Wilson 8 run - head - goal
32Adams 9 If we'd had him from day 1 we'd be winning this league, has filled a big gap in team capabilities
4Hourihane 5 doesn't have the legs for games like this
16Thompson 7.5 his bundles of energy are well known, but he's got great feet too
17Sibley 6.5 played well I thought, surprised to see him hooked
20Elder 7 Great corner for the goal, looked to get forward more than previously
7Barkhuizen 6 as a 10 he was ok, looked lost as a 9 and a natural sacrifice after Gayle's injury
10Waghorn 6 led the line well enough
25Gayle 6 so sorry to see him injured
12Smith 8 again, came on and made a big difference with his passing ability
11Méndez-Laing 8 consistently a threat, good defensive work

Ellafella reacted to Chesterfield_Ram in Derby V Bolton: Player Ratings
At the game
1Wildsmith - 8.5 - looked very good with his hands, a few crucial saves, but did look a bit nervy with his feet at times
35Nelson - 8 - just another solid game
3Forsyth - 9 - quality performance
6Cashin - 9 - dominant in the air, good on the floor, covered Sibley well down the left
23Ward - 7 - thought he had a decent first half, looked good going forward
2Wilson - 8 - had the better of the Bolton left side after coming on and won the header for the goal
32Adams - 9 - was everywhere, another performance which made me hope we get him permanently in the summer
4Hourihane - 6.5 - slightly above average, but his legs seem to have gone now and lacks any pace. Really struggled against a more mobile midfield
16Thompson - 7.5 - the opposite to Hourihane physically, while he doesn’t seem to be a quick player in the nml or cbt style he was able to accelerate to get away from or close down opposition and his agility made it even harder for Bolton to win the ball off him.
17Sibley - 7 - I thought he was slightly above average, but ended up out of position a few times and was taken off just in time imo
20Elder - 6 - didn’t do too much to stand out after coming on, but more importantly he did nothing wrong
7Barkhuizen - 7 - made some decent runs and did pretty well without scoring or creating big chances
10Waghorn - 6.5 - like elder didn’t do nothing wrong and used his experience to finish the game off
25Gayle - 6.5 - looked like he was making some decent runs, but often lacked the service and was never going to win anything in the air against their CB
12Smith - 6.5 - another who didn’t do anything amazing, but importantly didn’t make any mistakes. I’m probably being a bit harsh with his rating
11Méndez-Laing - 8 - yet another good performance and was probably our biggest threat (minus Wilson) going forward

Ellafella reacted to SinceIWasntSoYoung in Bolton ticket
I’d recommend a hot toddy followed by an early night. Maybe a visit to Markeaton Parkrun to sweat out the remnants and then a late fitness test to confirm you’re ready for the afternoon ahead. C’mon Adam, I want to watch you get the North Stand bouncing from the South Stand.🐏🐏🐏
