That's 7.00pm
A bit of self-flagellation being practised by Rams fans after an excruciatingly annoying performance against a Millwall side who one shot and one goal.
As 2W intimated, the rot is still there. We all know what the problems are but nothing changes. It's just so bloody annoying.
Look at our opponents on Tuesday - Brentford. Relatively not a big club but buy well, play football and sell for more than they bought. It's only a matter of time before they reach the premier league but us? I'd just like to see us there playing decent football.
Wisdom should return on Tuesday but who do you leave out? Too many 3/4 out of 10 performances should make the decision easy for Wayne. But what happens when their performances are all as 5hit as each other?
Happy Birthday to Igor and a happy St Pat' s for tomorrow

Chance for Cam Cresswell on the bench ?

Could be. Can't see we have many options. Without an aerial presence then we need runners if we are to play long balls.

I see Jack Stretton has scored again for Stockport County.
Realistically would you not have anticipated Bobby Duncan to be an option off the bench by now ? Surprised how little he's played for the U23s.

Looking like Duncan and Ibe were punts that haven't come off, pardon my French. Maybe recall Jack?

Anyone that's clicks on derbytelegraph needs as the great 666 use to say a head wobble.
I'm sure he's said it to you Vidal in the past, some never learn

Morning after view:
After our poor run of late this was a game I was definately not looking forward to - and by half time my worst fears were realised. We were just awful all over the pitch and could easily have been 3 or 4 down.
Mrs Hennessey had had enough and went to bed. I must admit I almost gave up and nearly followed her. During half time I watched the U18's come back from 2-0 down to get a creditable 3-3 draw with Man City so thought I'd stick it out - and of course I was glad I did.
Yes I know we made 3 changes at half time....but whatever Rooney said to them worked because they were a different team and deservedly stomed back to get a share of the spoils. It actually felt like a victory...especially with those below us losing.
A bit of a conundrum for Saturday who to play up top on Saturday if Ckr doesn't recover & Gregory ineligible, but the logical replacement for me would be Waghorn.
It was good to see us in the 2nd half working as a team defending, and equally going forward as a team too. Once Brentford lost the momentum they could not get back into the game and I dont recall them having a shot on target all 2nd half and they looked a shadow of their first half.
So on we go to Stoke with me feeling as though we've turned some sort of corner (again)

Plange, it's a word people who cheat at Scrabble try to convince you is a real word. He could be the new Bobby Duncan.
