Derby County 3 - 1 Brentford

Pride Park
1500
22 Sept 2018

Matches coming thick and fast with little turn around time with little time to learn lessons.

Derby entertain a rejuvenated Brentford side sitting nicely in third position. I don't think we have beaten any team higher than 14th so this could be a seminal game for us.

Lessons learnt? We just have to score but we need to,score lots. Looking at the talent we have at our disposal and the lack of goals worries me. We have not scored in two games. We could have been a comfortable second. The litmus of satisfaction is when I pass Vidal, on Tuesday he passed me on the way out with barely a wave

Backo's MTG has seen the gap narrow to width unheard of in contemporary times. Florest will now have it wrapped up by Christmas, they said so.

Derby will be without defender Curtis Davies (hamstring) and midfielder George Evans (knee) against Brentford.

Tom Lawrence misses out as he serves the second game of a three-match ban.

Brentford boss Dean Smith has no new injury concerns, so must decide whether to freshen up his side for the visit to Pride Park.

Left-back Rico Henry has resumed training as he continues to recover from a serious knee injury, but is not yet expected to be involved.

Derby will still be without Curtis Davies and George Evans with niggles. Tom Lawrence is serving the second of his three match suspension.

Brentford have not won at Derby since 1993 and not won in a league match since 1939. We've not scored in our last two league games after previously scoring in our previous 11.
