Derby (A) match thread

[Parkins left foot]

Douglas being givien a hard time by Butterfield & Russell, but still seeing it out safely - strange to have a proper LB

 

[Wolf Hunting]

Interesting that Gary Rowett thinks we're playing 5-3-2 or 5-2-3..
WE're leaving a lot of space for Derby to attack us on the flanks...
Cahill off for Chelsea!
Are refs tightening up a bit this season?

Jota to Bonatini to Jota who tries to shoot .... but it's scuffed and wide.
Dire Wolf, what wall are you just south of?
Hadrian's or that big one in China?

Trump's wall, dontchaknow

Could be his garden wall :icon_smile: - I'm not that far south of mine

Big Willy smashes the ball & player off the pitch & still wins the throw in - ain't no one going past him

Boly sounds really good doesn't he?
Is this the 1st time we've had a proper LB since Golbourne?

 

[Wolf Hunting]

Villa down 1-0

 

[Parkins left foot]

Derby getting some decent plays down the flank - fortunately most down our left as Douglas is a more solid defender than Doherty

Not much getting across into the area though yet

FIFA 12 legend, he was.

 

[Parkins left foot]

Coady - good reading of the game as he makes a crucial tackle on Weimann in the box

This position suits him a lot better than trying to play in midfield

 

[Wolf Hunting]

Derby seem to be good at getting lots of bodies behind the ball when we attack. Seem happy to let us have the ball.
Brilliant life saving tackle from Captain Cody who saves that from going in then Saiss and again Cody see that out for a corner which comes to nothing.
Chelsea's 10 men go 1 down to Burnley.

 

[Wolf Hunting]

Douglas whips in a great cross and Carson comes flying out to punch it clear and Neves fires it in with the crowd lifting and that's put behind for a corner...

CoAdy

Doherty cross too long, but Douglas keeps it alive on the left

Cross to Neves half punched clear by Carson - Neves takes & the shot is deflected out for a corner

 

[Wolf Hunting]

Bonatini fires it across the face of the goal but there's no one to put their toe on it as Weimann gallops off on a counter and he dodges a couple of tackles and Coady holds him up brilliantly and it's shepherded out for a corner. End to End...

 

[Leigh Griffiths' Hairline]

Stayed up to watch this in Australia and very disappointed the streaming services are shit yet again. not working at all for me.

 

[Parkins left foot]

Bonantini just wide from a Doherty cross after good work by Neves

 

[Wolf Hunting]

Doherty now breaking and he fires in a diagonal ball to Bonatini but it's just shaved wide of the post... Possibly the best chance yet so disappointing.
Doherty making this side all his own, finding tons of space and Weimann not too keen on all this tracking back stuff so Doherty becoming more of a danger...
