FIRST 10 MINUTES

Yeah derby definitely better of opening 10. We didn’t string 2 passes together in their half for quite some time - messaged my mate after 10 being worried

Just re watched it they never had control in first half.......take a look

Bottom line is we were never really in trouble. Not one shot on target. Not one stretch for our keeper. They were lucky not to have two straight reds.

But it’s only half time. We need to carry on the same at home.

2 straight reds? Im assuming Tomori tackle and Huddlestone forearm?

They could state the same - Klich and Cooper.

Pretty much even themselves out and i think the referee was correct in keeping it at 11-a-side.

Derby looked lively first 10, they were second best for the remaining 85. Both teams could have had red cards. Huddlestone's was an assault practically. Ref had a good game by all accounts.

Glad we played Derby and not Wigan or Brentford etc
As soon as we scored first the tie was all over in my world.
Can’t believe they finished 6th

Because of anxiety, there is a tendency to think that the opposition are posing more of a threat than they actually are, I thought that at the beginning of the game things were pretty even with us controlling the ball but them looking more lively when they had possession, after the first 15 minutes my feeling was we were well in control.
Was surprised at the end of the first half to see they'd had more attempts on goal than us even if none of them were on target.
Second half I thought we were in control until about the last ten minutes.

Watched it again, they didn't touch the ball in the first minute then dominated the next 10 or so. Bera's great block seemed to spur us on.

They had a spell in the second half where they looked slightly dangerous. Other than that we were firmly in control.

The Derby pundit they had for the BBC live coverage was pretty glowing in how he talked about us. Thought it was clear that they were hoping for a Derby win though.

The sky highlights that I watched had one Derby highlight, and that was the 'penalty'.
