Derby County v Aston Villa Match Thread - K.O 5:30pm

[AlexAlexCropley]

Thought Westwood was our best player first half

[Dazvillain]

When are we gonna put in 2 decent halves in same bloody
Game..... No where near enough strength and depth for the amount of games in this league

Nice to see you being our normal thin-skinned self though.

My problem with that is that when people start going on about scapegoats, they're just asking for a reaction - regardless of who they are and which player they are talking about.

Like "fickle" it is one of those words that gets people annoyed.

[PaulWinch again]

Come on Villa.

Have been watching the midfield four - Ayew and Grealish chasing back when we lose the ball, Gardner and Westwood just ambling around. And neither of them can pass unless it's ten yards sideways or backwards.

Gardner needs to be subbed here. He really is making the rest of the team work harder to cover for him.

Will be a sickner if this is another Wednesday result.

Would be o.k with 0-0.

[Tuscans]

Weathered the storm now, need to grab the game again and give Ross, Jordan and Jack my ball time.

We are a tiny number of games into an outrageously long league calendar.

I'm not too worried, it always takes time for teams to settle into this league, plus we've got lots of new players (either in or en route) and new management at the club.

Will be a sickner if this is another Wednesday result.

Would be o.k with 0-0.

On the plus side our defence seems solid.

[Toronto Villa]

RDM was saying just yesterday how is looking for something different up front. Bamford isn't slow but it might not be him. We need someone with genuine pace.

[Dazvillain]

Need green on with pace. Kozak off with mcormack ayew up front

[Tony Erdington]

I like Grealish industry

[SoccerHQ]

Header off the line.

[CJ]

How the fuck did that not go in!
