Matchday Thread: Rams v QPR

[swaledale]

Spot on rA, I shall continue with my cautious predictions, it seems to work, not that I'm superstitious!!

[Ramshank72]

Hoping for 2-0.

Delivered! Top performance

Good win. We are winning the games that matter. 4 out of 5 away coming up but I reckon we are due some points on the road. 12th position I'd take it now. COYR

Isn't Rooney back in November?
What sort of response do you feel he'll get?

An ok one, it's a tough one because it's really hard to judge his time at Derby. He deserves credit for not jacking it in because it would have been easy to do so. But credit for the results? Not sure about that.

I'd say he'll get an ok response, no animosity really but not really a heros welcome either.

He's really let himself go though healthwise since he stopped playing hasn't he.

All in the genes, Sith. Always going to happen once he stopped playing.

I think a few ironic ‘Rooneey’ chants and then indifference. Suspect most people now realise that Rosenior was the brains, Rooney just the frontman and that Derby City Council made themselves look ridiculous with that ‘freedom of the city’ stuff.

On the assumption that the rumours are true and he kept the club afloat financially even for a short while he’ll get my applause regardless of his results

For the 2nd time this season we had more possession than the oppo, 53%. They manage 11 shots to our 10 while we had 5 on target to their 3.

I thought our possession might have been even higher but the most important stat was 2-0 in our favour.

Two cracking goals they were too, coming a mere 1 minute and 16 seconds apart. Two very good saves from JWZ, a feat mirrored by their keeper. Talking to a Hoops fan at the hotel post match, he said that they will struggle this season, I think he's right.

Defence was solid, keeper excellent, Kenzo was a delight to behold, I feel for Yates who does so much good work but doesn't seem to get any chances to hit the onion bag. NML is as average, at best, this season as he was excellent last. CBT seems to be, finally, showing why we bought him. Good games all round, basically.

Second goal went in, cue ironic chants of "oh, Bobby Zamora" from the Derby fans which seemed to shut the 'Gers fans up. QPR rallied late on in the game but all to no avail. Thoroughly deserved 3 points. A few players off to represent their respective countries, the rest will have a few days off before resuming training again on Thursday or Friday.

Made me laugh how they were chanting about crying on the tele, which is a chant aimed at Richard Keogh who isn't exactly in favour at PP anymore

A chant which prompted "you live in the past" from the South Stand.
