Derby County v Aston Villa Match Thread

[Kernow]

We haven't got a proper foothold in the game yet, Marriott has barely had a touch in the final third so in that sense Villa are doing very well.

I'd be happy to get into the break level and then see another second half masterclass.

[Kernow]

Big opportunity for us to take the lead. We go route one for the first time in the game and Marriott's tenacity sees him get between two Villa defenders, unfortunately he's maybe a little too close to the goal and Nyland closes down his shot. Immediately after, Wilson's shot from the rebound is blocked off the line from Chester and then in the same move his shot is well tipped over for a corner.

Three golden opportunities, all from one simple long ball.

Marriott does so well there. Had no right getting a shot in but his tenacity and strength made a chance out of nothing. 

Then a Wilson worldly is saved. A bit of life from us, finally!

[Cam the Ram]

How has he missed that?! 

[Kernow]

Lawrence should have scored there. How this game is 0-0 I have no idea.

[cosmic]

Entertaining. Electric. Slightly more uncomfortable for us. Both teams missed absolute sitters. Don’t know how to call the second half.

Not a boring nil nil! We normally do better in the second half after adjustments! Coyr! 

[Gritstone Ram]

Could be 2 - 2 quite a good game .

[CapeTownRams]

Intriguing game. Could go either way. Villa comfortable and dangerous going forward. No clear midfield control yet.

The players are gonna be feeling this one tomorrow morning. Forsyth and Marriott have both had kicks to their face, Tomori has had an issue with his ankle, Carson got a wack when diving low for a cross and both Huddlestone and Wilson went down after being caught off the ball 

[Kernow]

Every time I've seen Villa's keeper, albeit mainly in highlights, he's looked very dodgy. Thought I'd pay a quick visit to the Villa forum to see if he's having the usual "game of his life" against us, and they can't believe it's the same guy in goal.

Still think he can be got at. Any corners we get I'd put them on top of him with someone on his toes, he's definitely got a mistake in him...

Come on you Raaaaaams

Glad of the international break....for once.

[Kernow]

Problem for Bennett. He went down as he turned, no challenge on him. I'd be surprised if he continues.

Edit: He is coming off. Jozefzoon on.

And now Bennett is down and will definitely need to come off. Looks like him hamstring .... gutted for him

[Kernow]

Ball in the net for Villa, called offside.

[Cam the Ram]

Another injury, Tomori down again and struggling 

[SuperFrankieL]

Tomori put his body on the line quite literally there...

[Cam the Ram]

For feck sake. The camera cuts to Davies warming up and he starts holding his knee as if he's in some discomfort .... what the feck is going on? ?

[Kernow]

Villa free-kick about a yard outside the box. Really good position.

Abraham in to the wall. Really poor effort.
