v Scunthorpe (A) Carabao Cup - Match Thread

[Shang]

Shinnie drops back alongside Evans into a DM position. Paterson on the left, Sibley as the 10, Knight on the right with Marriott up front.

Nice acceleration and finish ?

Good to see Cocu giving a lot of youth a chance - and them taking it!

[JfR]

Bu-Cannon

[RamsFan10]

Brilliant finish from Buchanan, isn't he naturally a centre back?! 

Also, Knight appears to have gone on the right wing. To dominate even a cup game with this many academy lads playing (and playing very well) is brilliant to see. 

[MaltRam]

Great goal. Picked out on the diagonal, and just powered into the box and walloped it. Decisive.

[SaintRam]

"Prime Roberto Carlos" I just saw that goal described as. Hard to disagree ? 

 

In other news, 17 year old Sibley just absolutely clattered an adult. Love it.

[ramit]

Sibley's got Star written all over him, love watching him play

[RamsFan10]

Evans has been impressive since coming on also. 

[Ramarena]

Is that William in the center of the park?????

[Shang]

Marriotts definitely match fit. He's been non stop hounding the defence. If he isn't playing there's another reason why he's not getting picked! 

[SaintRam]

I'll be massively impressed if anyone correctly predicted that first goal scorer ?  

[Comrade 86]

Sibley's a headcase! ? Young lads looking right at home tonight. Well impressed.

[SaintRam]

Lowe to Sibley to Knight, knocked down for a Derby FK.

Just wanted to comment on that little trifecta ? 

[RadioactiveWaste]

Stop crying whoever Scunthorpe manager is etc.

[SaintRam]

Knight gets round their LB and is then taken out. FK to Derby in the corner.

Just think waghorn is more of a Cocu forward. Generally much better in the buildup than Marriott is (wasn't on saturday mind) and presses himself also, and isn't a bad finisher himself. Also he was injured for a couple weeks of pre season, and has only just made up that time missed now. Don't think there's any sort of conspiracy behind it

Good, ain't it?

[Shang]

Derby crowd has given Jason Knight the Mason Mount chant. He's played an absolute blinder to be fair.

[RamsFan10]

Baffled as to how the Scunthorpe left back is a professional footballer, looks like he's won a competition to play today.

Don’t know if we have the players to give him the service he wants which is probably why waghorn gets the nod as he can battle a bit more.
