Derby County 2 - 0 Queens Park Rangers

DERBY COUNTY v QPR Championship #9

Saturday 5th October 2024, 1500 Pride Park, Derby

3.00pm kick off on a Saturday afternoon YAYYYYY!! stil, it will probably catch a few of you out after the vagaries of the timings of the last couple of matches.

Arrr!! the last two matches - one where the fortress was breached and the other where we showed a lack of nous and naivety against a strong team.

Looking at social media and seeing some of the reaction caused me to smile and cringe at the same time - as Heb would say (paraphrased) "Straighten your shoulders, stiffen your spine, look forward and look at that auk/gull/stag/badger/cow"

We go again, reorganise, rationalise and regroup. We have good players and occasionally we are tactically naive. But we are good.

QPR sit in the relegation zone - big deal - everyone has a chance which makes the Championship the best league in the world. And please don't sing the B***y Z****a song
Team: ZetterstrΓΆm; Nyambe, Nelson, Cashin, Forsyth; Goudmijn, Adams; Mendez-Laing (C), Harness, Jackson, Yates

Just watching Nelson's header... I know he was unmarked but the placement and connection...impeccable.

Today proves we just need to keep Ang away from our games.

Well I do hope there will be a thread where we can share our exciting plans for the international break.

I'll be spending some of the time in Benidorm!

An interesting game I thought. 1st half we were "almost," good...but not quite 'at it'. 2nd half seemed much improved and rightly came away with the 3 points

These, of course are the games we should be winning eh if we have aspirations of avoiding a relegation battle.
Well done Derby. Cheers. Terry in Spain πŸ‡ͺπŸ‡Έ

Speaking as enthusiastic but generally uninformed in footy matters, I accept that the aim this season is to avoid relegation, and obviously so. That said, from what I have heard and seen, we are better than that. Mid-table, even giving the play-offs a nudge? I know that promotion means unimaginable defeats and humiliations but we know all about that. Let's look up rather than down. 🐧 🏴󠁧󠁒󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

...and just a word for CBT who now looks to be showing some promise. Hopefully he'll get more game time to show what he can do....

...a special word for Harness who was probably the most effective he's been since joining us...

....and of course a special word too for Mr Zan (Zanfish) who is funding a project to send a Fish into orbit. Yes, he's sending it into Trouter Space....
