Wouldn't be surprised if Derby have to play him a certain number of times to avoid a financial penalty. I know who he is, he's just been naff. Plus Derby didn't spend £4m on him.
Bluewolf Posted August 3, 2018 Posted August 3, 2018 Can see this just fading out for a draw..... He says tempting fate..

Bluebird Hewitt Posted August 3, 2018 Posted August 3, 2018 Lawrence scores the winner right at the end. Lovely header. 2-1 Derby but they can count themselves a little lucky to win this.
Bluewolf Posted August 3, 2018 Posted August 3, 2018 Wow... didn't expect that.. great cross and nice header

Dave Posted August 3, 2018 Posted August 3, 2018 Been bitching for half hour about how I should have put a tenner on 1-1 and then Mason Bennett producing a cross that's worthy of winning a game at any level.

But they might have to pay us if he doesn't get enough minutes this season. Don't disagree he was naff though. Missed a fairly easy chance too.
Storts Posted August 3, 2018 Posted August 3, 2018 Enjoyable game to start the season - not the most quality on show, but entertaining. Derby do not deserve that at all - Reading the better side for most of the game, draw maybe just about fair, but that is smash and grab. Reading look really short up front - they need Baldock get fit and firing or else it could be a long season. Derby's front three will be pretty exciting. Lawrence and Mount will be really good and get Marriott up there instead of Nugent and they should be potent.
Eco Posted August 4, 2018 Posted August 4, 2018 Hate that I missed the end but I had to go home. Congrats to Lampard and Derby. Reading should have scored more in the first, but Derby looked to have totally controlled the 2nd half.
Danny Posted August 4, 2018 Posted August 4, 2018 Neither side looked that threatening, Derby definitely look like they're just getting to grips with Lampard's playing style. I imagine we'll see a lot of their attacking move where their forwards flood the middle of the pitch at the edge of the box, drawing the defenders in, then playing a wide ball out to the left wing back who's charging in free who then crosses the ball back across goal. It looked well worked. Readings pressing worked well for them but outside of that they weren't very threatening, only really benefitting from mistakes. Derby are going to grow into a really good side.
Subscriber JoshBRFC+ Posted August 4, 2018 Subscriber Posted August 4, 2018 Missed the ending, typical! Who's not happy for Frank, though?! Legend.
Storts Posted August 4, 2018 Posted August 4, 2018 Off to Stevenage v Tranmere today in the away end - looking forward to some league football again. Will report back later. Anyone else off to a game?

This week, they are showing - Today's Match Ipswich Town vs Blackburn Sheffield United vs Swansea City Sunderland vs Charlton Athletic Leeds United vs Stoke City Mad that they're showing all of those games abroad but in this country, we only get a few of those games shown.
Smiley Culture Posted August 4, 2018 Posted August 4, 2018 Really fancy Sunderland to beat Charlton today. Charlton have only made a couple of signings this summer, have no first-team goalkeeper (Dillon Phillips has played in the National League and never any further up), they had four or five injuries to first teamers going into today's game and they've just announced that one of their better and more creative players, Jake Forster-Caskey will miss the whole of the season after doing his cruciate ligaments in training on Thursday.
Administrator Stan Posted August 4, 2018 Author Administrator Posted August 4, 2018 Charlton have only named 5 subs as well due to all of those injuries. I fancy a Sunderland win by a few goals.
Administrator Stan Posted August 4, 2018 Author Administrator Posted August 4, 2018 Penalty to Charlton!

Smiley Culture Posted August 4, 2018 Posted August 4, 2018 That was a disgraceful tackle. Not malicious or aggressive but just an utterly terrible attempt at a tackle. This has been a nothing game apart from the penalty. Still think Sunderland with a full bench could nick this.
Administrator Stan Posted August 4, 2018 Author Administrator Posted August 4, 2018 Ex-Everton player Bryan Oviedo to come on. Didn't even know he was still there. I remember when he scored the winner against Man Utd once.
Administrator Stan Posted August 4, 2018 Author Administrator Posted August 4, 2018 Maja scores with a left-foot shot low in to the near post. Keeper should be disappointed with that. Sunderland weren't getting anywhere up til then. Charlton weren't really creating much either.
