Only live 2 minutes down the bypass from the Prozac so easy game for me. First half was dreadful as a spectacle but interesting to see some players I've neither seen nor heard of before (with all due respect to them) being a newbie fan. The crossbar saving the direites from going in at the break a goal down.

Second half much more entertaining and a higher tempo and Rawson I think it was scored an impressive header to add to the Bent opener.

Good Derby turnout and although I can't offer any of you seasoned DCFC aficionado's any insights into players and systems (because I've got no idea myself ! :lol:) I can say that overall I enjoyed my first ever Derby away game. Can't wait for next Saturday now. Not going Sheff U tomorrow sadly as can't get off work in time.

Glad to hear you enjoyed your first away game. Hope you get to many more!

I think bird had a poor game at fault for there goal.

Bit harsh B4. Bryson failed to track O'Shea's run, Pearce was out of position and then 3 of them failed to block the shot. I know you dislike him but you can't blame their goal entirely on him. :lol:

Another good workout for the Rams tonight. Both sides treated it as a competitive game rather than the fun-packed testimonial that SB had. Good to give Shane Nicholson his night tonight - his story is a warning to all young players and his work to prevent it happening to others is very creditable. 

Positives: 90 minutes under the belt for Bryson, Baird, Russell and Fozzy. Bent very involved and coming back to collect ball. Second half did this more after youngsters came on - he seems to enjoy encouraging them. Scored another opportunistic goal. Hendrick strong and played some great balls forward ( but don't give him the ball when he's being tightly marked at the back!) Baird at right centre back. Rawson played well and scored a good goal when he attacked the ball under pressure at a corner (hurrah!) - looked assured at this level. Good little cameos from Elsnik and Gordon. Our fitness levels told in the last 20 minutes - we are getting there. Max Lowe's shot - best move of the game that deserved a goal. Another win!

Negatives: Pace fell at end of first half (maybe they couldn't see what they were doing) and at times in second. Hanson shaky - understandable after his injury. Negative passing from what is probably our second choice back three (not including Fozzy in that - his passing is erratic but usually positive!) Russell and Lowe seemed to fade out of game - although Russell stepped it up again at end. Baird at left centre back. Fans were asleep most of match - hope the singing section turn up at Sheff Utd tomorrow.  

The Chesterfield winger who caused us some problems is Gboly Ariyibi, BTW. He's American, apparently. 

thanks for that.

Ariyibi....thats the fella.He looked quick and direct.To be fair to Fozzy he seemed to get to grips with him more in the second half.

I was pretty impressed with Gordon when he cameon,on our left,he was very quick and got past his man easily.

Did i imagine it or did Max Lowe do some outrageous drag back skill on the edge of the area in the first half?

Hadn't realized Farrend Rawson was such a big beast. Could really intimidate forwards. Good lad for getting on the scoresheet, as he did a couple of times with Rotherham if I recall.

Yeah he did. 6'4 he is, don't see him lose many physical battles. Especially not against other youths but he was a strong competitor in that regard for Rotherham too.

Our number 15 looked really good

So obviously this a youth player and I wanted to identify who.

I managed to identify the player in the highlights (by watching them walk off at the end of the game and then cycling back through to see a facial angle)

I believe this to be Kellan Gordon (although he's had a haircut which confused me)

It may also be Alex Cover to be honest, but in the poor quality images I can see the skin tone looks more like Kellan's. 

 

EDIT: It's definitely Kellan Gordon as the two lads directly behind him in orange bibs (heads can be seen in the non cropped image) are definitely both Alex Cover and Alex Babos.
