That Derby front four are lethal. Agyemang, Brereton, Clark and Brewster, glad we're not playing them again until the end of the season. Agyemang plays like he's playing with a younger age group.

As I write that their four replacements carve open Brizzle for a 5th. They could've had more too.

Derby look like the team who power through the play-offs...but, Sanderson and Clarke.

Just had a close-up of Rob Dickie. We've seen that look before from him.


Maybe Derby went for a slow burn approach to their fitness this year mate? Hit their straps round about now…

8 away wins is damn impressive for a team that lost at Oxford. It is a big turnaround since the Rams lost 4-0 to us when Eustace arrived.

Eustace who we groomed for four years then ditched.


Exactly, missed a real opportunity to kick on with him. He has done pretty well at all the clubs he has gone to since leaving us. Always liked the Warburton/Eustace ticket and rather hoped that when Warbs time as manager finished that Eustace would take over with Warbs moving into a director of football role.

I think we do now have to accept the bloke’s a bloody good manager at this level.

Every time I see a team pissing about at the back concede a goal off a high press it brings a little bit of joy back.

This may not be the case in about 18 hours.

Certainly been eating their greens.

Interesting that their recruitment guy left in October and hasn't been replaced. Wonder if that's a battle Eustace won. Certainly still signing very good players - big shame Eustace wasn't trusted at QPR, though don't reckon he'd work as merely a first team coach who's handed a squad. He's a good judge of his own (perhaps Sanderson aside).

I thought Derby were really good tonight: moved the ball quickly, very competitive for every ball, solid at the back, and good movement. That said, City were absolute pony. A mind-blowingly wan k performance from them. One fit CB to select, so why play with 3 CBs? So open at the back, sloppy with the ball all over the park, and completely toothless.

If Vyner goes without being adequately replaced then City could well finish 14-16 on recent performances. Lots of very pis sed-off locals. Can't have been more than 3,000 odd City fans left in the ground from 85 onwards. Probably only 4-5,000 tops after 75 mins. Never seen anything like it.

Fulham FC: It's the taking part that counts

Feeling more confident (from a Derby perspective) about my September statement that if we finish above Derby, we will be in the play-offs. Eustace a bloody good manager

Imagine if Eustace was here, filling the team with established old pros, he’d probably have been run out of town by now.

Lots of established, hard-bitten pros, but also Clark is only 20 and Eames a homegrown teen - both look absolutely mustard. Good mix.

The real elephant in the room is how strong, fit and hungry Derby looked. Steamrolled a Brizzle who did appear to be trying to lose their manager, shocking performance, but still. Didn't see too many hammy stretches from Derby mid-game.

Eustace is a very smart and efficient builder of Championship teams. Incredible that we thought we'd be clever and pick Beale over him.

Wonder what Brewster and Brereton are on. Didn’t think he’d get those two going but fair play. Probably no more than Glass-Salter.

Thought they’d regress without Morris but they’ve kicked on.

Eustace is shrewd as well. Eyebrows were raised when he jumped to Derby from Blackburn last season.

He’s been vindicated as the on-going bin fire at Blackburn shows.
