Why are people bothered what stars they get? This isn't primary school. I imagine that the best way to get more one-star ratings is to complain about getting one-star ratings. Rise above it.

It just seems a petty thing to do Vidal. The sort of things sneaky people do to belittle others in the hope of improving their own self esteem.

A pound to a pinch of 5hit, it'll be a Red Dog.

Of course it's petty but I don't see the point of having the star ratings in the first place. It's only a forum for chat after all.

I agree with you on that vidal.

Just gave a 5 to neutralise the 1 star bandits.

I think View should wear his 1s as a badge of honour.

Did you know that tonight Preston will become the first club to have made 5,000 league appearances?

It will be Derby's 108th league game with Preston and only Bolton, Burnley and Wolves have played Preston more often.

Fascinating facts from the foot of the page

We need to concentrate like never before. No fans to cheer them on! A six pointer if ever there was one. Come On You Rams. I'll be telling at the little screen this evening. One point would be very good - 3 would be momentous.

Telling - yelling.

For a minute 3R, I had a vision of you wagging an index finger belligerently at your laptop.

Beeb report that we have failed to agree a contract extension with Tom Huddlestone. Or perhaps you already knew that?

Came out late last night Heb, but not reported on here, so fair do's.

You hear it here second then

Tom says it's time for a "new chapter"

Footballers and their agents might have to realise that with the advent of Covid 19 the world is a less wealthy place and they will have to be more realistic in their wage demands.

To be honest I think we have seen the best of him, he would be something of a luxury as a squad player and it is time to move on.

We have another experienced class player with excellent distribution so yes he is a bit of a luxury. Rooney and Hudz in the same team pulling the strings could work provided Bird and Holmes did all the running for them.

I've always been a big fan of Huddlestone but he is an expensive luxury as a squad player, especially on a two-year deal. He would be there only as cover for Rooney and it shouldn't be all that long before Bielik is back as an option in midfield as well as possibly centre half. Next season I can see Rooney playing less and Bielik gradually taking his place. Bird as anchor man playmaker, Bielik as ball winner and Sibley further forward could work quite well.

I thought I was being self-deprecating - indeed the more I go on, the more 1 s I will get

What a wierd time to be settling down to listen to a football match

It certainly feels weird

I once had more than a hundred 1-star ratings for an article, the one that 666 recently re-posted. It was somewhat balanced out by more than a thousand 5-star ratings though.

Derby County: Hamer, Waghorn, Clarke, Evans, Holmes, Lowe, Rooney (C), Bogle, Knight, Sibley, Bird

Substitutes: Roos, Forsyth, Shinnie, Jozefzoon, Martin, Davies, Malone, Whittaker, Hector-Ingram
