Derby County v Fleetwood: Player Ratings

[dilkie]

ATG  

1Wildsmith- 6.5. Couple of crucial saves. Decent performance.

35Nelson-6. Best game so far. Still doesn’t look like a ball playing CB but the basics of kicking and heading were on display. Looked better in a back 4.

5Bradley-6. Cameo. Adds a threat to set pieces. 

34Rooney-7. Excellent performance. Did all that was expected and more. Hopefully a run in the team will further develop him and he should be a natural Cashin replacement.

14Washington-6.5. Got around the pitch well, seems to be on sane wavelength as Waggy. Ran out of gas and rightfully replaced. 

6Cashin-6.5. More like the Cashin we know. Another who looked happier in a 4. Possibility of this being his last home game for us.

12Smith-5. Just not working for him atm in our midfield. Energy is great but product is below expected levels. 

23Waghorn-7.5. Loved seeing Waggy charging around and driving forward. An absolute steal of a signing, 2 goals and an assist so far. Should have had a penalty too. 

4Hourihane-6. Great tackle to start the move for the goal. Still feel he plods around waiting for the next free kick or corner for him to take. Expect more from a Derby captain. 

3Forsyth-6.5. The usual steady and dependable performance from Fozzy. Never gets flustered and is a calming influence. 

11Méndez-Laing-6.5. Outstanding first half, quieter second. Think everyone could see how happy he was back out wide. Another who ran out of steam but a much improved performance.

20Elder-6. Come on, was steady.

9Collins-6. Fresh legs up top. Helped see game out. May have to get used to the bench life if Wash and Waggy continue their broship.

16Thompson-8. MOTM. Never thought I’d write that. Excellent performance and without doubt his best in a Rams shirt. Not sure what he’s changed this preseason but is my first name in Saturdays team sheet. 

17Sibley-6. Great to see Sibs back out there. Feels like this season is make or break for him. Like to see him in the Didzy role moving forward. Didn’t even pick up the standard Louie Sibley yellow card. 
 

Warne-7. Listened to the fans and changed the formation. Everyone in the stadium seemed to be happy with this. Subs were timed well abs we managed the game out well. Needs to use this and take it into Peterborough on Saturday. I will be making my first trip there since 93’, a losing effort thanks to a Ken Charlery goal. 😩

I don’t think that the referees in League 1 have been as bad as some say. This fellow was poor though. 
 

we did well until the manager started tinkering about. My humble opinion is that he us dragging us down as a team providing entertainment. 
 

hey ho! Nothing is forever. 😊

Half-marks allowed; please rate all subs. Closes Thursday @ 18:00. Results by Thursday 22:00. Average is 6.00. Therefore, when a sub steps on the pitch he is on 6 - that's the baseline. Also indicate ATG (at the game) or TV (Tv viewer).

1Wildsmith  7

35Nelson  6.5 - much better in a 4

5Bradley  6 - pleased for him that he got on and didn't concede

34Rooney  7 - really good. If he had any pace he wouldn't be playing in this league

14Washington  6

6Cashin  6.5 

12Smith  6.5 - does loads of covering and filling in holes when others are out of position. watch him, and not the ball, and he's a very good team player

23Waghorn  7

4Hourihane  6.5

3Forsyth  7 - played well in all 3 positions in the customary game of formation roulette towards the end

11Méndez-Laing  7 - more threat as a winger in first 5 mins than previous games combined

20Elder  6 

9Collins  6.5 - really helped the team after we'd shifted to a formation that  has proven to be rubbish for us

16Thompson  8 - really decent. Hope he gets a run and isn't shunted out by a loan signing.

17Sibley. 6

At last, someone else who can see the hard work that Korey Smith puts in to this team
