Yep, very weak refereeing. Wild scything challenge - red all day. 

Looked like a yellow for our lad moments before it, but they didn't get a free kick. I suspect the ref bottled the red because he wasn't sure he had called the other one right.

Cash out now chaddy!

Can't. But bet Brereton to score 1st anyway

Gallagher has missed two gilt-edged chances at the back post now.

Evidently £5m doesn't buy you a lot these days.

Good that at least he's getting in the positions I suppose. 3-0 would be swell though 

 

[Al]

Dolan should have made it 3

 

[Exiled_Rover]

I'd love to know what our xG is today. We could be 5-0 up at half time. 

[dallydally]

Good first half by all accounts. How much for a 2 all finish? 😤

Or Johnson. 

[booth]

Should be 4-0.

Which Rovers will come out in the second half? 😬

[duckson]

What are the odds Derby get 1 back within 5 minutes of the start of the second half. 

[Paul Mellelieu]

Should be five to the good.  Can't see how Derby can be that bad again.  Suggest we need another goal,

[Paul Mellelieu]

And in the top six.

[AllRoverAsia]

We could/should be 5-0 up.

Aus 4 down after 10!

[Exiled in Toronto]

Bucko/Ben 2 Derby 0

Back 4 solid, Buckley as many assists in 25 mins as Nyambe gets in a season, Travis and Johnson terrific, Rothwell spent the first half hour not so much playing in the hole but being the actual hole, Ben two great poacher’s goals, Gallagher still a donkey, Dolan ephemeral.

If they score first that's it. 

Jesus are other clubs fans so worried at 2-0 up....

[OsloRover]

Dominant performance so far, really enjoyable half

[moerpho]

Good first half but really worried those missed chances will haunt us in the second half. But Derby seem bereft of ideas. Their initial idea was to attack down our right side and they have kinda got stuck in that track. Tom Lawrence is still the same player he was when he was playing for Rovers.....a team that makes this guy captain should be easy to beat. Please please please no Tony Tombola in the 2nd half and an early goal to make it three for Big Ben. Dreading seeing Poveda being put on for Buckley at 60 mins making Gallagher a substitute right back with Poveda fizzling about up top  thus letting Derby complete their plan. Still... Come On You Blues!!!

Feel that's harsh on gally should have scored but he's winning plenty of headers and pressing well

[WacoRover]

Keep pressing ‘em, we can get another goal in the 2nd half. 

[TonyM]

Very fair commentators on RamsTV...way better than our two moaners.

[BigBar]

Classic rovers to let them back in the game...need to put this to bed and kill all hope for them.

[bluebruce]

Commentator just said they expect Derby to be much tougher opposition this half.

Personally I expect us to make Derby be much tougher opposition this half.

[Paul Mellelieu]

We've started crap.

[Bigdoggsteel]

Senior hurling championship here today, Thurles bet Kildangen. Why is this relevant?  Well a lad came on for Thurles after 2 years out after 3  ACL injuries 

Fingers crossed Dack doesn't get 3 god almighty, but just shows you can come back from them. 

 

 

[Exiled_Rover]

This ref has swung into terrible territory. 

[Bigdoggsteel]

Please hold them out
