Dowell > Bryson

Even the sky sports app has given up updating and “the natives are getting a bit restless “ according to the bbc bloke at the ground.

well - managed to last 30mins of the new season I suppose ?

[SaintRam]

Malone's passing has been genuinely dreadful so far this game. 

[SaintRam]

Bogle throws a Swansea player 5 yards and comes away with the ball; but no Derby urgency in moving up with him so he has to put it sideways.

[CapeTownRams]

Swansea coming into this . Rams seem almost a bit nervous... home game pressure? We don’t seem to have the high intensity game/passing we need...

[SaintRam]

Derby almost counter after a superb clearing pass from Clarke to Lawrence, but a great sliding challenge halts progress.

[SaintRam]

Jozefzoon almost gets the full-back to trip over himself, but he stays upright and blocks the cross - Corner to Derby.

Dowell takes but its cleared strongly, center of the are again though.

Derby possession resumes. 

[SaintRam]

Linesman flagged for offside, but the referee knew the ball had come from a Swansea player and didn't blow the whistle. Some confusion among fans.

Lawrence unable to get the chance on target though. 

[SaintRam]

Dowell turned excellently and Derby had a 3 on 3 for a moment 25 yards out. Dowell chooses to shoot though, and it hits a Swansea heal and bounces back to our defenders.

[SaintRam]

Penalty to Derby

 

Excellent play from Bogle. One-Two with Dowell and hes pushed over

[SaintRam]

Waghorn to take. Saved. 

Good save. Not a terrible penalty.

[Van der MoodHoover]

Should have given it to Lawrence....

[Topram]

Ffs

[SaintRam]

Lawrence down injured. 

Bogle got overly excited when getting the ball back in an opportunity where we had players in lots of space around Swansea's area.

[Millenniumram]

Bank pen by waghorn, telegraphed the whole way. My nan takes a better set piece than Dowell btw, though he’s been good in the middle third

[SaintRam]

Waghorn's taken every penalty he's been on the pitch for since joining us, and I'm pretty sure that's the first one he's not converted.

[ramit]

Thanks @SaintRam for keeping those of us not able to see the game updated

[SaintRam]

Some feisty interactions so far in this game.

Been some nonchalant Swansea possession since the penalty miss.

In match play and all our shootouts last season we scored every single penalty - totally phenomenal. Had to end sometime. Of course a huge pain that "sometime" is today.

[CapeTownRams]

Shame, as I think we needed that to get us really going...
