I was just longing for someone to do that thing you see so often in the Prem, where the player just puts his foot out, the ball lands softly on this toes, falls like a dead cat and then sits obediently at his feet like a spaniel waiting for you to throw the stick. Instead the ball was constantly out of control and in the air - like watching wimbledon in the 90s

Rams tv should be like one of those restaurants where you decide after you’ve finished how much you should pay. Tonight I’d pay £3 for Dobbin’s goal, £2 for Bird’s earlier pass to him, £1.50 for that run by Sibley down the right wing and £2.50 for Tommo’s penalty (just like Martial last night). But then I’d deduct £1 for each of Fozzy and Stears’ penalties and £2 for their goal. £5 quid. That’s fair it was pretty grim overall

First match Derby vChelsea midweek cup match 1968, was hooked from that one night.

Derby born (Nightingale, a popular place !!?)
My Dad took me to my first match at the BBG in January 1959 - see picture below that still hangs in Pride Park. I was somewhere on that picture on the Popside. PNE in a FA Cup match 2-2.     2 or 3 inches of snow on the pitch and on the terraces. The match would not have been played now a day.
DERBY PLAYED IN RED !!!! ? and I see both teams had white shorts.
'Forever Derby' from that day onwards even though I have lived 50 miles away since 1967.
Two daughters both keen Rams fans and season ticket holders. Although the eldest had a brief skirmish with Coventry the year they won the Cup but I soon put a stop to that !!!
We still travel the 100 mile round trip.        IT'S IN YOR DNA.
 
 

Give me strength. It’s a nonsense trophy, we were playing a team all over the place. You expected more from a back 3 with Forsyth and Stearman in it? Did you miss the part where all of our club left in the summer and our u21 and u18 teams are getting pumped every single week, let alone in games like this? We ended up with Robinson at the back, who’s not even a defender  for crying out loud. We have no depth, this is well established. 
With all that said. The only goal they scored was direct from a corner, and Cybulski could’ve had 3, Dobbin another etc. Either team could’ve won that. 
Just some really dumb reactions in here tonight which lack any form of context. 

Walked under the same ladder Conor Sammon did 

Why would anyone not hit a pen hard ? Don’t get it. But Fozzy if you hit it hard Keep it down   Like they told you when you were 10 

He’d have scored millions but he’s been very unlucky 

Not the penalties as such but that was ugly football. Not impressed at all. Not the football I want to see.

Isn’t that what everyone wanted?

We look just like Rotherham

Yeah surprising he didn’t give a pen against Fozzy in the first half 

Would have scored if he had faith in his left foot   

EFL referee?

Would have scored if he had faith in his left foot   

Nice one. Especially want to see PW see Tommo with a back 3 behind him. (But not sure we’ll see Robinson...) 

One complication with playing a complicated system is that if it’s not working, tweaking it is complicated. As we have seen. We’ve got a good squad,  simple should be good enough if they’re all motivated 

Literally just got my tickets in the post, delivered 4 hours before kickoff. 
Good job I only live 15 minutes drive away.?
