When is a Derby not a Derby? Home v The Rams Sept 2nd, 3-o'clock.

Do not fancy this game one bit. Hope I am wrong.

Not like you?

It's genuinely not like me, but i feel it too. Again, hope I'm wrong. COYFWM

[sonicthewhite]

Seems that we've started really well and on the front foot. COYWM!

[Mar]

Nice start so far. Lovely to see Toal back in the mix. It's like having the Irish Santos in the squad.

Decent shot by Thomason is the highlight so far. It's what his game is needing, more of that passing it into the net.

Derby seemingly missing a trick by not being as physical as Wigan here.

[Dave Sutton's barnet]

Glad to hear we've started well. If we get in front I fancy us, but if we don't...

[Mar]

Looks like a horrid knee injury going off how much pain he looks in. So innocuous.

[Prufrock]

Looked a bad one but why the feck have we given that back to them?!

[Spartan2]

Incredible start, Derby can't touch the ball, beautiful football.

So discombobulating that Ilesy's now called Derby "Plymouth" three consecutive times.

Hate to be That Guy, but strike while they're upset and disorganised. It's what teams do. It's what Burton did to us in the first minute after subbing Santos.

[Mar]

Anyone catch that foul in the opposition half by Santos. Straight into the back of the opposition and pushing them over. More of a physical approach being taken by our own players perhaps?

And then we go and pfaff about at the back and Derby win an unnecessary free kick....

Well I'm nowhere near a kettle this afternoon unfortunately, although probably not a bad thing with the barren run it's been on. But I am near a coffee machine so that'll have to do.

Hope you didnt bin off your old kettle. That was the one we all relied upon!

Press that button!!!

FFS Victor.

[Dave Sutton's barnet]

FFS. 0-1 pen.

[Prufrock]

Ffs. They should have had one for handball just before.

Performance has been excellent but you have to score when you're on top.

[jmjhb]

And that'll be that.

[Mar]

WTF was that all about?

Shocking refereeing by all counts. Derby score only for it to be ruled out for a penalty decision. Surely advantage should've been played.

Fresh chance for Baxter to save it, but nope.

1-0 down. Against the run of play aswell. FFS

[sonicthewhite]

Feck!

[TANGODANCER]

It was all going so well.

Exactly this. Plenty of decent build up play but no final finish. We've come close with Thomason and JDC, but not really got Vic in the game.
