[RIMBAUD]

Unlucky not to be at least two more in front. 

And fun to watch...

Are Carson, Keogh and Tomori the only players who haven’t had a shot this half?

Yes. But Keogh has put a pretty dangerous cross in ?

[Wolfie]

That, Mr Rowett, is how you play football. 

[StringerBell]

Red Dead Redemption 2 looks good.

[Derbados]

Just hope the ref doesn’t spoil it, we aren’t getting anything from him tonight he looks determined to help West Brom out 

[Alph]

Win, lose or draw. At least Lampard has never set out for a point and you will be absorbed in the action.

This is fascinating to see. It’s almost like we weren’t ready for Hudds early doors this season. It has taken 10+ games for Frank and Jody to get us playing at a tempo, and with a level of skill, that they were happy with. Until we reached that point, we had to put up with a less cultured midfield which worked hard but lacked a bit of panache.

All of a sudden, we are ready to unleash the playmaker. Everyone is working to the plan so well that he has time, and space, and can control the game from that position that he loves.

It’s the most intelligent management I have seen at Derby since Jim Smith (who persisted with DPFG, for example, when few rated him, and signed VdL when many of us said “who?”). Don’t get me wrong - it’s not perfect and we may still blow this game in the second half. However, it’s not just the ale talking when I say I’d rather see us play like this and stay in the Champ, than creep into the Prem playing Rowettball.

I dunno he could have easily given them a pen for the Gayle incident

[Steve How Hard?]

Great half and team performance. Hard to single anyone out but Hudds has been immense. Composure personified.

Think he’s missed a lot for both sides. Took about 25 mins for us to get a fk

I forgot how entertaining this sport could be. 

Loving this match but do feel we need a third. Once we get that though, I'll be bouncing in my living room.

Barely a defensive minded player there... similar to the leeds lineup, not to be devils advocate of course, just the nervous wreck in his uni room

Pretty sure we are living the same life right now?Couldn't go to the bar because of big boys like Liverpool playing.

[DesertRam]

Fantastic first half, would be out of this world if we can stay at 2 up COYR ?

[1967Ram]

That'll do Derby, That'll do ?

Same again second half please ?

[dcfcfan1]

Didn't expect that! Wowww,

All I ask for is entertainment, shouldn't happen, but WBA do have the firepower. Lets hope we don't sit back. If this means it ends 2-2 or whatever then so be it. We are finally developing a style and we shouldn't abandon it as soon as things get difficult (think WBA will get a goal back at some stage and put us under pressure)

4 - 0’s a bit greedy isn’t it?

Apart from not giving them a blatant penalty and an opportunity where he could have easily sent Malone off.

He's a poor poor ref but he certainly isn't biased, he's just poor.

[Alph]

That ball from Malone to Waghorn that Gibbs intercepted. Anyone else squeal like an excitable teenage girl and then groan like a furious pirate. 

[Rampage]

So exciting to watch. Proper football. Lampardball, what a treat. No thoughts of it going pear shaped, just enjoyment. Well done. Everyone. Consistency is coming hopefully. ?
