I think thank God we don't have the nasty little fecker. And then I'm reminded we have Sibely who is also a little fecker. Funny when it's on your side innit? Sky were applauding his recent disciplinary record. Did you know he hasn't been booked for 4 (four) games?! He's a good boy now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millenniumram Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 Pretty good first half that. Started to get a bit more control on the game, and we’ve had some lovely pieces of interplay in midfield. Just haven’t really had that quality final ball/touch (though the seemingly slippy pitch doesn’t appear to be helping us in that regard). We do need to be a bit more careful in defence though. We’ve given a few silly passes away, and Preston look very dangerous cutting through us on the counter. Need to keep things tight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brammie Steve Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 So it needs the Rams' faithful to cheer them over the finishing line in the second half. COYR! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black ('n' White) Sheep Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 Looking at the replay of the stamp, I have literally no idea why the ref didn't do anything more about it... he was walking up to him when he did it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comrade 86 Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 Jumpy as a cat in a doghouse. This season has been such a crazy uphill task right from pre-season and I think I'm about as emotionally invested as I've ever been, almost to the point where it's hard to watch! Preston will come at us hard after the break so a second goal is a must really, if only to soothe my tattered nerves. Bit of a side note but I did wonder whether the break might have strangled our pre-Covid progress but whatever Phil's been doing in training, it's working. Win, lose or draw, we look a right handful at times. The fact that we've also shown we can win 'ugly' (or not pretty!) too bodes well.

We need a second just in case (Waghorn should have scored after 3 minutes) Waggers just doesn't score if he has to think about it for more than two seconds. Good running from him though.

Andicis Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 Preston have got a proper snide team. Pearson's a twit, Huntington is a disgrace who stamps on 18 year olds, really don't like any of the cloggers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rampage Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 A couple more goals without reply would erase the goal difference advantage of Cardiff. 3 ahead at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you're being generous to him. He can be pretty careless in possession. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramarama Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 Anybody else thinking that the lack of fans is really suiting Derby as its enabling them to play with patience without the fans getting at them to "shoot" or "do something" just because a goal hasn't gone in after 5 minutes. Theres no panic playing etc and equally the opposition teams are lacking the urgency to get the ball back without fans getting on their backs or booing them when the rams make pass after pass. A playoff final in this atmosphere would make for a drab experience but could be what we need to make it over the line. Bit worrying however that we seem to be the only team to thrive in such conditions. Not sure what it says about our support! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just hope we can hang onto the lad tbf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sage Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 What concerns me is we are only 1 up. They can't play that badly again this half. They have a stronger bench than us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
