The bench is looking weaker by the day 😐 Yep. 6 subs, with only Moore, Bloxham and Caton ever likely to come on. Where's Bowman?

If Bennett, O'Brien and Bowman were all fit, we'd just have enough to fill the bench.
This is ridiculous. We need at least 2/3 more in before the end of the transfer window.
Whalley would have been a useful addition to the bench tonight.

I expect no one extra coming in before the end of August based on last year, if we do it will be a pleasant and much needed bonus for me.

Cotterill did say in his pre-match interview that there was one player who was an injury concern. It looks like Bowman is the man.
Unless, of course, he’s on his way out…..

Derby very much ahead on possession. 83% to our 17% currently. Its what you do with it that counts though. Hopefully we'll ride this period out and start to impose ourselves on the game.

Hopefully we'll ride this period out and start to impose ourselves on the game. most of that was passing the ball backwards and forwards on the edge of the box , and then eventually they hoof it like we do we look the better side so far i think , we need to keep it in the floor though in and around the box

Town defending really well, only the one real chance for Derby.
Interesting to note that we won the ball in really dangerous areas on the two occasions that we pressed as a team.

Good half from town. Derby are good on the ball but our hard work, aggression and organisation has nullified their threat on the whole. We have also looked useful going forward.
It will be interesting to see whether Derby will become more expansive or we will tire first as I can see goals in this game.
We could have really done with some quality on the bench for this game.

Loads of possession, but they’ve had 1 chance, (which was brilliant goalkeeping by marosi!) They’re a bit ponderous at the back, and for some reason their keeper is playing centre half when they have the ball, if we nick it we should shoot on sight.. if Pyke had a bit more belief he’d of had a tap in after a slack pass from them. Da Costa and nurse both having poor games so far,

My 2-2 prediction was a bit rash! Can Town sneak something in the second half?

Biggest cheer of the night for Town fans so far is when Derby misplaced a pass which went out for a thrown in. I'm sure come the end of the season Derby will be up there for sure, so there is that. So we're going up against someone half decent. But look at the possession and at home. I can't help but feel this shows us for what we are at the minute, 11 players but nowhere near a team. Lets hope for something more second half. Come on Town.

Only 3 Town subs. Is SC sending a message to the Chairman?

Looks better this. Maybe they've had a rocket up their arse at half time.

How good would it be to have someone like Whalley on the bench - 15/20 mins against tired legs and who knows what mistakes/fouls he would draw.
