1Wildsmith 6. Spilled a regulation free kick / cross otherwise puffed on a Cuban waiting for a shot on target which never came.

12Smith 6  Neat & tidy defence but poor on delivery of crosses.

3Forsyth 6.5 Effective & faster passes out.

6Cashin 6 One short pass opened us up but made amends with a steam train block.

15Roberts 6 Neat & tidy linkages.

23White 6 Tidy passing without the physical presence of Bird.

17 Sibley 6 Slotted in to midfield when the game was won.

4Hourihane 6.5 Kept the ball moving but didn’t find the killer pass.

11Mendez-Laing 6 Less involved after a bright start. 

22Springett 6.5 Injected energy when the game was won.

38Knight 7 The midfield machine & his perpetually pumping pistons patrolled the pitch.

26Thompson 7 Looked very bright & sharp in seeing the game out. 

18Dobbin 8 Probably his best game for Derby; smoked his fb several times & left pairs of defenders in his wake. A couple of wasted chances before stroking home McDick’s perfectly placed pass. 

7Barkhuizen 6 Brief run out. 

10McGoldrick 9 MotM A one-man footballing symphony; assisted the assist for his own goal by releasing Hourihane to cross before taking up the perfect position 15 yards out and pile-driving home; then the dink of dinks to breeze by the defender,  drew 3 opponents & put it on a silver salver for Dobbin to thump home. Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone, Stop the dog from barking…Whatever happens this is McGoldrick’s season & the reference will not be 2022/23 but simply The McGoldrick. 

9Collins 6 Probably will just need to fold his kit and put it back in the drawer ready for Saturday; no need to wash it.

Derby had to win & they did. We can see just how good Bird is now he isn’t playing because we lack that grip & cohesive coherence that he gives us. It was scruffy but McGoldrick lit up the gloom with his cultured display. The first female ref to run a Rams game was very good and planets beyond many of the male numpties we’ve witnessed this year.

1Wildsmith 7 not much to do, good distribution

12Smith 7 solid in defence, very little going forward 

3Forsyth 7 played well, prone to the odd passing error

6Cashin 7 see Forsyth

15Roberts 7 sound, quite impressed with him

23White 6.5 not a ball winner but good ball retention 

17 Sibley 6.5 looked confident in possession 

4Hourihane 7 influential

11Mendez-Laing 6.5 worked hard but lacks his early season sharpness

22Springett 6.5 nice cameo

38Knight 8 had a very good game, what a motor

Thompson 6.5 looked lively, out to impress

18Dobbin 8 made a difference

7Barkhuizen 6 

10McGoldrick 8.5 class player, goal and assist

9Collins 6

Not a very flattering photo of her and I'm sure her performance last night was worth more than a 2

1Wildsmith 6.5    No saves to make, but handling and distribution back to normal (bar one which Roberts turned into a decent throw).

12Smith 6.5   Largely untroubled and untested - crosses need work, but we knew that already.

3Forsyth 7   Back to his unruffled best, but not much of a test from Cheltenham;'s forwards.

6Cashin 7    Ditto, rescued one poor pass with a terrific block and won most of his headers.

15Roberts 7  Very steady at the back and got forward well. I think I prefer him in this position to Sibbo.

23White 7  Much better from him, had more time on the ball and got stuck in when needed.

17 Sibley 6.5  Lively cameo. Still an AM in my eyes.

4Hourihane 6.5  A bit anonymous 1st half, bar dangerous cross for Didsy's goal, but lasted the game well.

11Mendez-Laing 6.5  After Saturday's exertions, I wasn't surprised that he had a quieter game, but was surprised he wasn't subbed immediately after 2nd goal.

22Springett 6.5  Another lively cameo. Will need his energy for the run-in.

38Knight 7  Worked hard as usual to get us moving.

Thompson 6.5  Like Sibley and Springett, he looked the part coming off the bench.

18Dobbin 8  Our main attacking threat, showed great composure to finish his chance. If he ever gets to be clinical, watch out.

7Barkhuizen 6  No great impact on this occasion - hope he's not losing motivation?

10McGoldrick 9  Great finish, great work to set up Dobbin, and some neat play throughout.

9Collins 6 See Barkhuizen.

1Wildsmith: 7 - yes, he nearly fluffed them a gift but his underarm distribution is fast and effective way to turn the game around

12Smith 6 - didn't have much to do, didn't do much

3Forsyth 6.5 - strong coming forward, better feet and he could have had a goal

6Cashin 6.5 - great block but it was his to make after his mistake. Still something a little shaky about him that worries me.

15Roberts 7 - better coming forward, hard to really judge any player for their defensive ability last night as it just wasn't needed

23White 7.5 - he bustled well, though will need to learn you can't go in with feet high to the tackle or it's an early bath

17 Sibley 7.5 - he bustled well, though will need to learn you can't go in with feet high to the tackle or it's an early bath

4Hourihane 6 - honestly, for the Maradona of this division he was supposed to be it's been a bit of a let down, he's OK but little more

11Mendez-Laing 6.5 - started well, not sure he came out for the second half?

22Springett 7 - like his style and his running, won a good free kick but needs more than just honest hard work to win a game

38Knight 8 - solid performance, especially getting two players booked in two minutes. That tilted momentum to us very subtly.

Thompson 7 - he bustled well and definitely put some energy back in the team when he came on

18Dobbin 8 - can't say it better than another, he's world class and non-league in the same breath. Definitely scares the opposition but his goals per game show he's got learning to do

7Barkhuizen 6 - he knows how to play, but not sure he knows how to influence a game

10McGoldrick 9 - such a footballing brain for the second goal, not just the touch but holding the ball till Dobbin was ready. Class!

9Collins 6 - coz @Ellafella says that's what you get for being on the pitch

@sagemade me do it otherwise he said he’d take me dinner-money off me & he gave me a Chinese burn ?
