Dowell misses an open net ?. Lovely stuff again from Derby, we're slicing through Burton with wonderful quick passing.

That was a great move,how did Dowell get up there,hit the post...unlucky.

[Cam the Ram]

That was some horrendous finishing, but once again the passing out from the back was fantastic. Keogh and Bogle in the corner with 4 men around them, managed to do a few quick passes and then find Huddlestone in space. A few seconds later we're in Burton's box with 3 men queuing up to score 

[Andicis]

The way we're getting up the pitch is very reminiscent of Mac 1 to me.

Carl Gregory from the West Stand has been sent to main reception to collect his son. 

Meanwhile Derby play the ball around with ease.

I think Huddlestone could do this role all season to be honest.

He's barely moved from a 10 yard square area. The energy in our attacking players tracking back has really limited the amount he's had to run. 

Maybe, but he's likely to suffer injuries, particularly with how close opposing midfielders get to him and often leave a foot in trying to get the ball ahead of him. I think Evans could do a decent job there if Huddlestone is ever missing, but last season he just seemed to lack the confidence when in the holding roll to always make himself available for a pass

Yeah Kelle Roos

Evans has been pretty good at CB. Played a lovely ball for the first goal, looked comfortable with the ball at his feet and defended well.

[SaintRam]

Evans has had a brilliant game as well.

Jozefzoon and Evans our best players this half. Waghorn obviously with the important numbers though. Dowell's been excellent too.

HT 1-3

 

[Rampage]

Cocu been here a couple of weeks. He must think that this job is easy. Derby look fit and seem to know exactly how they are supposed to play. HT. Wow

[SaintRam]

Twan Scheepers, who we know works with the strikers specifically, jogs out to meet Waghorn on the pitch for some Guardialo esq. pointing and talking.

Dowell looks very good.

Apart from within 1 yd of the goal line!

[Rampage]

Dowell is amazingly direct. He must already be thinking that it was a good decision to come here.

[Coneheadjohn]

Really enjoying this...Frank who?

Evans good,everyone going forward great.

Dowell’s a beast...don’t need Harry Wilson.

Some lovely stuff...I’m off to the bog?

[Andicis]

For saying Burton are ahead of us in preseason, we're running them ragged out there. We seem to be waiting for them to press us, and then quickly playing the ball around them, leaving them exposed and then we're cutting through them in the middle of the pitch. Has been extremely effect so far.

Sounds great but not getting carried away. Evans playing well (according to you guys is a huge plus as we are weak in CB)

Telling Wags how he could have had five which is true.

I don’t recognise him,very calm and composed,playing out nicely from the back and looks fully fit.
