Best performance since re-start.
We controlled the game and didn't give them any chances to breakthrough.

Derby could have played for another 90 mins and I dont think they would have scored. They created nothing. Obviously they were missing key players but if I were Cocu I'd be fuming at Sibley. That was just sheer petulance. God knows why they were trying to play from the back. We outclassed them utterly.

One of the most comfortable performances Iâ€™ve seen. We coasted through that with ease.

Front four were excellent - although Robinson did not quite hit Dianganaâ€™s standards.

Shots on target 7-0.

Dominant.

That was a massively important win. Fantastic play, keeps the gap. O'Shea had an excellent game which I am so pleased about- Next WBA international? Pareira fantastic and Gros also great. Only downside is we were not in the ground to watch.

Spiffing. Eh, what chaps?

Big shout for Slav with his team selection and tactics, spot on. Great going forward and so solid all over the pitch never giving them a look in. He has some selection dilemmas for next game now and that can only be good too.

Superb all round performance, don't think anyone a foot wrong.

Their keeper was probably motm, made several brilliant saves.

Very happy with that. Just want Leeds to slip up now.

Can't believe it was that easy. We should have improved our goal difference. All the players were fired up and gave full 100%. If I was a Derby fan, I'd be embarassed. Not a single shot on target. Rooney can do far more damage up front.

Good game that was, said in the pre match thread that Derby ain't nothing special and that proved it. That could easily have been a 4/5 nil thrashing.
One things certain is Pereira is worth 4x what we're paying.

If Diangana is fit stick with the same team.

If he's not, swap for Robinson, job done.

The team picks itself. Same starting 11 unless Grady is out injured then Krov comes in.

Only thing there is watching that Derby team then you know Brentford are going to best them before we play again and we will go into Blackburn 2 points gap again

Stuff Brentford.

johnny Cash · « **Reply #338 on:** July 08, 2020, 07:19:19 PM »

Expected derby to offer a lot more, they made it way too easy for us.

Great result though and feels like a big hurdle has been cleared. Be nice if some other results go our way before we play again, but Iâ€™m sure Leeds and Brentford fans have been feeling the same.

Another must win game Saturday but things will like bright if we win

Grosicki is it. Even coached the magician on the short corner for Dara.

Was it just me or was the stamping sending off a bit harsh? Looked like the lad got his leg stuck?

Thought Mr Rooney looked pretty unimpressed, wondering what he was talking to Slaven about.

Been nervous about this game all day, needn't have worried. An excellent team performance. Solid, got the job done and totally bossed the game.

alex1 · « **Reply #342 on:** July 08, 2020, 07:20:30 PM »

To be honest, how Derby play suited us perfectly. They are not a team that play compact, park the bus. They leave lots of gaps to exploit, and we should have made more of those gaps. We are always more dangerous when we attack at pace, which Derby allowed us to do.

AlbionFan · « **Reply #343 on:** July 08, 2020, 07:22:09 PM »

I admit I was concerned about our attacking line up before the KO, but Iâ€™m not now

baggiemart · « **Reply #344 on:** July 08, 2020, 07:27:15 PM »

Great performance. Got everything right today. " Great saves by their keeper otherwise its 4-0.

We need to keep that team. Solid at the back.

Good to hear Goodman was his usual bias self against us. I bet he was doing the commentary in a tatty gold shirt !!!!

He sounded gutted at the end.

Both Leeds and Brentford fans unimpressed by us. Writing off a poor Derby side.

Can't help think we're going a bit overboard on here. The front 4 were great. The midfield dropped off. The defence were unchallenged. Johnstone had nothing to do. None of the other games will be as easy as this.

Definitely harsh, o'shea has gripped the Derby player's leg between his. Derby player gives a *slight* kick out to help shake it loose.

"100 minutes of pure, good, good football" - Slav just said on Sky.

Well done lads, great win. Onto Blackburn
