A Mowbray inspirational classic. Saying his main center half is one that has hardly appeared for us and is still injured.

Cheers.

What a 🔔🔚 our manager is.

Holtby looks sharp. 
 

Has the pitch been relayed? Looks amazing 

No, just hard graft from those employees that love BRFC and without tripwires being chucked at them by you all know who!

Don't agree about the bench tbh. Some good players on it. Obviously Pears, Bell and Bennett aren't good players but I'm fine with the rest. Even Evans is an average Championship CM. Dolan, Rothwell and Brereton I'd be starting over some of those on the pitch.

Dolan is the only one there who isn't a massive disappointment to me. Maybe Buckeroo and Rothwell to some degree as well. The rest I'd be happy to never see in a Rovers shirt again - especially Evans. Stolen a wage from us for years and NI are the only side that have ever seen him regularly fit or useful.

 he gracefully speeds down the wing,the opposition full back trailing in his wake,as he delivers a perfect cross that the 5"6 armstrong can`t reach😉

Just tuned in. Have we re-signed Darren Peacock and we’re playing him on the left wing? Definitely looks like a duck out of water! 🙄

Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't be renewing his contract. But that's because of his 'injury' issues. He is, when fit, fine as a bench option. His time has to be up this summer though. You would hope. Not a low earner either.

BB played well early doors this season, been a bit poor again since returning. I'm not ruling him out yet though as a useful player. Stupid price tag aside.

Playing the Rams is almost as bad as when we play Forest. Absolutely massive clubs mired in mediocrity.

We've started well and if we keep beating them for posession, we'll move up the Xg table!  Happy days

[Tugay-is-God]

unsurprising

[Proudtobeblue&white]

Same old.

[Stuart]

Good grief

[Roversider]

1st attempt - Tom Lawrence scores

 

[bluebruce]

I very nearly put money on Lawrence scoring. Should have.

[jim mk2]

Immutable law of the ex

Lawrence puts Derby 1-0

Easy goal again

[VenkysRuinedMyLife]

Jesus

[perthblue02]

TM :"We don't work on marking " (probably)

[CambridgeRover]

Piss poor defending. No marking 

[OldEwoodBlue]

Doesn't matter lads

[DE.]

First goal conceded... A point at most now. 1 win in 16.

[Fraserkirky]

Johnson useless as usual, and the superstar wonder boy Nyambe ball watching. 
Kaminski sure let’s in a lot of first shots on targets..

Disappointing. Those stats don't show the Xg, so I now have no idea how we are really doing in this game.

Actual goals scored is useless data.
