Hamstew

We had and beat Man U in the carabao last season

ASLEFshrugged

Derby starting the same XI as the last two games apart from McGoldrick out with a sore knee

MrsGrey

We haven't kicked a ball yet and already the thread is filling up with doom and gloom. C'mon guys, screw your courage to the sticking place!!!

chicagohammer

Mrs Grey, hope you missed the first 30 Secs 🫣

Thank goodness Bowen is playing through the middle instead of Antonio, oh, perhaps he isn't 🤔🤔🤔😂🤣😂.

buffybegood

No VAR so we can celebrate.

Bowen scores, assist for Soucek.

steve

That should settle the nerves ,mine that is

Ham, please confirm

ITV having to apologise for the West Ham chanting "We're winning away, we're winning away, How bad (alternative word may have been used) must you be, we're winning away".

thornburyiron

Usually that kind of chanting comes back to bite them.

MrsGrey

My stream has been so bad I've only just realised we scored 😆.

It probably used intelligent buffering if it lost part of the stream, and reasoned we were very unlikely to have scored.

Whitehorsehammer

Looking alright so far, apart from Fotnals who seems to have forgotten how to play football, chasing shadows. Emerson looking good, I like the way he covers the ground.

And Cresswell, I like the way he covers a seat on the bench.

Yeoldhammer

Derby working the ball nicely but doing nowt with it.
West Ham looked decent up until we scored, Bowen was doing some nice runs but now its a bit of hoof ball up to Antonio where the ball just pings off him to a Derby player.
Definitely don't look like the PL side when we are in possession. Need someone in the no. 10 in the hole position to just keep things ticking over, looks all too rushed and forced. 1-0 up make Derby work for it.

chicagohammer

How refreshing to see the linesman raise his flag up as soon as he spots someone offside, feeling nostalgic

steve

Antonio putting in a shift

buffybegood

Fornals had to hit that first time.

Yeoldhammer

Ogbonna being wrestled with every corner we have, should have had a pen really, he literally cannot move.

Hamstew

Poor from Fornals tonight

chicagohammer

Might be the type of game that gives Antonio a boost, he is looking hungary, on the flip side, Agree with Whitehorse, Fornals looks lost and Kerher has once again not impressed me

Hamstew

Johnson also abysmal. Soucek and Antonio best players so far.

Yeoldhammer

Emerson got skinned but comes to nothing

thornburyiron

Johnson’s touch is appalling. Derby being given far too much room too and we could pay for it at some point.

Hamstew

Benrahma for Fornals and anyone for Johnson

chicagohammer

Not a great watch quality wise, happy with the result but hardly convincing

Yeoldhammer

Get Lanzini on and put him in that 10 role to play off Antonio

Yeoldhammer

Derby Mistake puts Jarrod in who crosses it and an easy nod in for Antonio

buffybegood

0-2 😊
