V Blackburn (A) Matchday Thread

[SaintRam]

Blackburn corner, Bogle blocked a Downing cross to concede it.

Well cleared.

[SaintRam]

Sustained pressure from Blackburn there; a couple of chances almost created. Ends with a Derby GK after good Malone defending. 

[SaintRam]

Waghorn has yet to win a contest with a Blackburn defender, making a bit of a mockery of any long ball attempts.
Dowell's first attempted through ball of the game rolls out for a goal kick; his poor first touch made it a very difficult pass.

[SaintRam]

Wisdom wrongfoots Bielik as Derby look to create something and Blackburn counter. But the defense rallies on the threat is snuffed out. 

[Millenniumram]

We’re playing like a team without any forwards... because we’re a team without any forwards

[SaintRam]

Another Blackburn counter snuffed out by good defending after Bielik's pass is slightly behind Holmes, who is admittedly a tad flat-footed. 

[Day]

Rooney in the dugout again

In away games especially it's pretty safe to swap out the word team with squad in that statement ? 

[SaintRam]

Corner to Blackburn; Malone beaten on the wing but recovers to block the cross. 

Headed clear by Davies.

[Bob The Badger]

Is Malone really better than Lowe at anything other than stupid haircuts?

I really don’t get playing Waghorn & Dowell.

Nice to see that we’re showing Blackburn a.k.a the Barcelona of the championship plenty of respect and standing 15 yards away from them letting them do whatever they want.

[Millenniumram]

This is like real life clicking all out defend on Fifa

[NottsRam77]

We look like we’re waiting for them to score 

bielik, holmes in particular but alone seem hell bent on given Blackburn the ball back at every available opportunity

Errrr he’s taller ?‍♂️

[GrimsbyRam]

Another bizarre team selection from Cocu.  We cannot defend yet we are set up to sit back.  Now we have no pace going forwards.  I fear the worst today.

[SaintRam]

Excellent defending from Tom Lawrence there; but poor attacking from him as we look to come away with it and he gives it away.

Any chance you could arrange those words into a sentence?

We can't defend?? Incorrect.

We can't attack. That's been the story of this season so far.

[SaintRam]

Malone very lucky that the ref calls back an advantage there. 

Lawrence booked for bringing down a Blackburn player after another mistake.
