Matchday Thread: Derby v Preston

[Andy_Faber]

Are we on a roll or is three unbeaten our maximum?

Anyone?

[MadAmster]

My first "act de presence" at pride Park this season. Trois points. Agyemang's first Rams goal. First airing of the new flag.

[Geoff Parkstone]

Preston playing surprisingly well so far this season (Armstrong impact, rA?) but these are the games we should be winning. 2-0 Agyemang sneaks a goal

A smash and grab can do wonders for confidence. Hopefully start to see some style developing, though still early days. Floating on that confidence, I'd say a 2-1 victory is headed our way.

Hopefully RS, indeed. Not for the first time this season we've been limited in possession, pressed back by the likes of Stoke and WBA (twice), hanging on to the hope of a clean sheet and maybe get one on the break. Passes going astray. Insufficient movement off the ball giving the man in possession no outlets. We either pass to an opponent or they take it off us. I'm not worried though.

Only 5 of Saturday's starting XI were at the club last season. Of the other 6 some were late arrivals, some not yet fit when they arrived. I'd like to think that, as the side gets more settled and more used to playing with each other, we'll start getting more expansive in our forward play rather than be the spoilers we have been this season thus far.

If we don't then what's the point of having 3 main strikers in Morris, Agyemang and Salvesen and wide players/#10s in Brereton Diaz, Clark, CBT, Weimann, Jackson and Brewster? They're too good to be glorified defenders relying on counters.

[MadAmster]

PS - the flag should be visible on the perimeter fence just a couple of yards south of the halfway line in the East Stand.

[SithHappens]

My first game in attendance this season. So going for 3 nil to the rams to welcome me back.

[ramAnag]

Oh dear. I was so confident of a comfortable first home win of the season, 3-1. Then there was the breaking news that Sith and the Hamster are going.
Forgive me if I’m wrong MA, but your visits in the early part of last season didn’t seem to bring us much luck and it’s certainly been in short supply for Sith of late.
Hope the flag brings a change of fortune and you both see a rewarding Ram’s victory.

P.S. You won’t be seeing Brewster, MA. Out injured for a while.

[Geoff Parkstone]

I think I'd keep the flag very close to your chest until in the ground MA. Flags of a national provenance tend to be deemed inflamatory and removed - unless of course rainbow or palestinian, when thats just fine.

Like at Tommy Robinson’s ‘Unite the Kingdom’ rally on Saturday you mean?

Don't worry Roger, I'll be fine. I'll be in England with a red, white and blue flag that isn't the Union flag so nobody will accuse me of being racist. More exactly, I'll be in Derby with a flag bearing 3 Rams logos, I'll be cheered all the way. Plus, if anybody gets uppity, I can always report them to the nearest Custodian of the Law for being overly, verbally aggressive...

[Geoff Parkstone]

I believe they were deemed inflammatory at that march - didnt westminster council try to get the march banned?

Westminster tried to ban Dutch flags?

[Geoff Parkstone]

[swaledale]

Not that I've noticed but then maybe things are different in London?
