Derby County v Brentford F.C.

[Manicsheepreacher]

Like this lineup. Should be interesting to see how Jerome and Vydra combine, as well as the pace of Olson and Anya on the left. Should give them something to think about. Glad to see Vibe not playing for them as he's a threat at this level. 

Hopefully it's a good game.

Glad Jerome is starting. Nuge didn’t look fit on Tuesday night. Slowest I’d ever seen him in a Derby shirt, not really chasing and pressing the ball.

Lawrence would have been the player I'd have dropped for him. Been pretty apathetic lately.

Well he's not really had a great deal of competition. That's not an excuse for him to drop his standards, but mentally he's known he's pretty much starting regardless of how he plays, especially with neither Russell or Weimann putting in brilliant performances either. If Lawrence continues in the same way, I expect Palmer will be in shortly. With Anya back in the picture now too, we already have two "new" wingers who will be pushing for that starting spot. I'm hoping that will result in both Lawrence and Weimann upping their game too.

Like the team today. Not sure why Palmer isn't in the side though. Not a lot of point in bringing him in to warm the bench, should have got someone else in if that's his place.

Under Mclaren new signings used to automatically get into the first team. I think it sends the wrong message to the rest of the squad who have been competing for a place in the team if somebody joins and automatically gets to start. His opportunity will come when someone else is dropped for and judging from our wingers recent performances he wont have to wait long for it.

COYR   3 points needed today guys,

up and at em, need to start fast here, they are a possession team.

[Ramarena]

Anya and Olsson could actually work quite well together although I am concerned at changing a rock solid back four

Took ages for thorne to start when we signed him.

True, and I think given his proven quality we would have got more value out of him if we used him earlier.

This Palmer fella comes with a good reputation. Let's not waste that ability warming a bench when we need results.

Eustace had the shirt and played well enough to keep it. 

Palmer will get his chance soon enough.

Hope so! Let's hope its not too late to achieve anything by that point!

A must win game today. Anything other than a win means the meltdown has started. Come on Derby

Not seen the replay, but looked a harsh decision. Went in with studs up and quite hard, but didn't look to be over the ball at all. Yellow would have probably been fair
