v Millwall (A) Match Thread

[DcFc Dyycheee]

How is Evans not coming on? Can't believe he's sticking with Johnson and Bryson.

That was dog poo. Bryson should never be on the same pitch with Johnson, unless it’s Sunday league football. Frank needs his uncle in his ear  asap. Probably the most tactically inept manager in our history. But after 2 games he’s bound to be, big learning curve for him. I do expect him to learn quickly though. Let’s match up their 4/4/2 with 3 subs. Marriott on with Waghorn ( who looks terrible and terribly isolated) and shore up the defence. I am scared of our short term future. We can’t have any money left to correct the imbalance of the squad 

Phil Brown...

That is all.

Oh my god he's bringing Forsyth on.

This is where Lampard cements himself as a genius. 

What's the bravest possible thing to do while 2-0 down after an awful display? Bring on the least liked player from the bench. 

Forsyth hat-trick to win 3-2 inc. 

[Kernow]

Malone off and Forsyth on.

Shame as it looks like Malone has picked up a knock and we've had to use up a sub which likely won't influence the game that much.

Oh it'll influence the game, all right! ?

I expected that when Malone started lumping it long when not even under any pressure. That's not playing the way we're training to play and have been instructed to play. The manager needs to send the message that if you do that, you're out.

OB suspects that he's got a knock

Will Tomori be awarded the own goal?

Give it a few more weeks and we'll be close to last season's starting line-up 

[Sexydadbod]

Lampard’s old gaffer Mourinho would have made substitutions in the first half after that display. Wonder if this is the game which makes Lampard’s more ruthless streak come out?

Maybe. Guess we'll see. Watching the first half I thought he'd be hauled off.

Johnson’s still playing with Bryson and Forsyth is on too. I take your Phil Brown and raise you a Nigel Pearson 

[SaintRam]

I have to say, system and tactics aside, Derby players all over the pitch have been ducking out of 50/50s all game.

Just proves that possession means nothing. Last season when we beat Hull 5-0 with only 30% or whatever people moaned we were lucky to win because of the possession stat.

Useless stat.

Wasn't anything to do with possession that day, Hull played well, missed a penalty and we scored from about every shot on target we had. Was never a 5-0 game, if Hull convert the peno it's a different game. 

Does anybody actually care about the stat itself? The number is irrelevant, what you actually do with the football is what matters. Conceding the ball as easily as we did last year and this year is always going to bring trouble. 

[Kernow]

Much better half already from Derby. We look purposeful with the ball and actually have a chance of making something happen.

[Carl Sagan]

Penalty shout for Waghorn. Got in front of his man who he let run into the back of him. Could well have been given but wasn't.

Next Bryson slices over when it wouldn't come down for him. Some promising signs. COYR!

[SaintRam]

Bryson completely slices a volley from the edge of the area after good Derby play.

I feel like he's done exactly that in every league game so far? 

But still, BETTER.

[LB_DCFC]

much better already , come on lads

I’m not at the game but have taken this from the Sky Sports App. 

Is this correct and if so how the duck are we 2-0 down. 

Tip Tap around the back again I’m guessing to generate that level of possession stats ??‍♂️

Because Millwall have had two shots

We are very wimpish without Davies and Huddlestone for a start
