Mel Morris did in fact start our new holding midfielder as a number 10 yesterday and selected NML to play wing back, he also told Josh Vickers to let the ball float over his head and hand picked Sonny Bradley as our new marquee defender.

This isn't a Derby County I want to watch. I will of course as we all do but I want to see progressive fast fluid accurate passing by good footballers. 
I looked at our passing stats for this season and quite honestly they are appalling. 
I'm forever in the debt of David Clowse for saving the club but it looks like he has cocked up with Warne to me. He's looking like a one trick pony. 

I know this was always going to be one of our tougher games this season but I think the point many are trying to make is that that the gap between the two sides in terms of quality of football isn't really acceptable.
Yes Bolton are good but why shouldn't we be playing like they do? It's not like they have a much stronger squad and piles of cash.

Not thrilled about how we set up this game, Bolton are a side that like to control the ball and that’s fine, but we’ve really not done ourselves any favours in this game. 
The mistakes and naive football is synonymous with the Paul Warne experiment at Derby County. The more games we have like this, the more I yearn for the 0-0 draw against Shrewsbury where Cashin is making 140 passes under Rosenior. It was another extreme, but out of the two I at least like to watch our players on the ball. 

I know people will jump on the negativity but I’m just so jealous of those teams who are set up to quickly move the ball across the floor. Instead we get kick and rush. 
 
31% possession, only shot on target is the penalty and their keeper hasn’t had to make a save. I wasn’t expecting us to win today, or even draw but games shouldn’t feel this one sided against us in the third division. 

I don’t think we play with 3 at the back. We ply with 4. We just push Fozzy up high as an attacking fullback. This overloads the left hand side creating more space for NML to exploit on the right. 
 
That’s what I’m seeing anyway 🤷‍♂️

Sorry, you’re going to have to narrow it down a bit.

Nothing to add to be honest, expect 1 definitely potentially 2 more bodies in. In the 22-28 range. If Cash goes we’ll 100% get a replacement as he’ll have championship offers 

For 3m would we not be better going for the likes of Sam Nombe over JCH. Younger, more potential and just as dangerous. 
I dont see the point in singing JCH if hes going for any more than 1m because its money lost at the end

I would be gutted to lose Cashin, a true Derby academy graduate who genuinely seems to love the club,and also a "proper" footballler.
I see the bigger picture but it would still be a huge shame

Just hoping the new signings and Bird coming back from injury doesn’t stifle his progress. Obviously he has to earn the right to be in the team but at the minute he’s earned the shirt and needs to know it’s his whilst he’s playing as he is. 
 
Would say today was right up there with that performance v Fulham in the relegation season.

Rooney was fantastic last week, and Warne said he was “pretty faultless” after the first 20 mins. I don’t think we should be short term replacing our own youngsters when they have a chance to play and learn. 

I received a phone call an hour before the match, telling me a much loved Uncle had passed away.
Felt like I'd been punched in the gut, and went upstairs to have a quiet moment. 
Woke up at 3.30, flipped the radio on to hear it was 1-1, tolerated Dawes for a minute or two, then flew to Belgium to watch the rest of the game.
3 Derby goals in my first 10 minutes of watching was the kind of medicine I needed. 
Thanks Waggy, and Cashin.

Rooney came up against the best winger in the league and got done probably twice properly. He was one of the best players after Thommo, Waggy, Cash and Wash

Great win, didn't see it coming. We were all at sea for the first 20 but the goal really woke us up and we didn't look back from there on in. I've been critical of Smith and Hourihane but from 20 mins onwards they were good - really good. Thommo was everywhere. Waghorn doesn't need any more praise, performance spoke for itself. The controlled period after half time was nice to see too, settled things down for 20 after the break and allowed us to make subs whilst being in total control of the game. A few set piece scares but expected when leading a good Peterborough side at home. 
On Rooney - had a tough day at the office but I doubt he'll come up against many better left wingers in this division. Hopefully takes plenty away from today and uses it to improve. No need to panic at RB. 
Still loads of room for improvement but got to be happy with that. 
 

We didn’t get lucky. Thoroughly deserved win. Yes Rooney had his hands full and got done a few times but getting past the defender is only half the job. Incidentally, I thought Rooney, like pretty much the whole team, had a good game. Thompson was MOTM for me which is saying something considering Waggy got a hat trick.

Thommo was outstanding 

Absolute snip! 🐏

Watching replays, Rooney is playing everyone on there. Probably a tired mind at the end, but it will do him good to get a full match under his belt.
2-4 final score. Well done Derby and especially Waghorn!

Listening to Radio Derby. Sounds as if we're seeing the game out well now. And often looking dangerous. After a bad start, it's ended up being a fantastic afternoon for the team. Let's hope we can build on it and this is the start of something.
Plus lovely to hear Malcolm Christie do the punditry. 

Thommo Man of the match last week and just pipped to it by Waghorn this week due to the goals. Got to keep him in the team, he’s taken his chance and ran with it, which I know a few of us were hoping for in the summer. 

Needs to carry on learning and learning when 4-1 up is the best option rather than knocking his confidence and dragging him off.

Watching Waggy making time to speak with both of the new lads when he could have been milking the crowd reaction says everything you need to know about his position in the squad. What a man!

Liam Thompsons best game in a Derby shirt for me, really really good all round today. 

Absolute quality Tommo today. Brilliant.
