TL 'looked interested' as well.
Got stuck in & made at least one excellent challenge

We all know what Sibbo can do. Its the other aspects of his game that he needs to improve to warrant a regular start. He is only 19 and he needs to know there is much more to learn.

If we have neither CKR nor Gregory that changes things a bit. Waghorn and Jozwiak as a front two?

Please, no

I just feel neither of them is in good form atm and if neither of them come off, you've got problems.

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?

You're really on the wind-up tonight, Vidal

OK. OK. Rooney it is.

Could be time to take the Plange? I'm here all week.

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.
