v Derby County (a) - 8/3/2025

[Exiled_Rover]

Ohashi fouled through on goal. Ref bottled it. 

[Tugay-is-God]

Ohashi almost through there

[CambridgeRover]

Come on lads!!

[simongarnerisgod]

thats a good goal,cmon rovers

[BigBar]

Fucking get in!!!! Do not give them a sniff now, show some bottle and pride and get a result!!

[Tugay-is-God]

If we gift them another, I'm gonna lose it

[Old Codger]

Hopefully the rabbit in the headlights thing is a blip, and the goal will steady the resolve of the lads.

[USABlue]

Refs a homer, Ohashi taken down about to break free.... nothing.  Brittain in a headlock free kick to them.

[moerpho]

Stupid yellow for Brittain. Suspended next match over yellow cards?

[Tugay-is-God]

Oof, could've been a leveller there. This Derby defence is really there to be got at. 

Also, you can feel the nerves in their crowd. 

[RevidgeBlue]

Good play from Dolan leading up to the goal according to the reporter on Soccer Saturday.

Surprised those watching havent highlighted that. Lol.

[simongarnerisgod]

i don`t see derby keeping up this pressure,hopefully we`ll come into it in the 2nd half

[CambridgeRover]

Can we buy the Derby goalkeeper please

Why?  A month with Benson and he will be as crap as the rest.

Shaky start but looking the better side

[neophox]

It must be Benson who is crap as all our goalies turn crap nowadays....

[Bethnal]

Who’s the fucking ref? Looks like he’s on work experience.

Massive improvement needed in the second half. First 45 absolutely unacceptable against the worst team in the league, with the only positive being that we pulled one back. Time for Ismael to earn his money.

We've been the better side since their goals - granted those goals are what are going to win them the game.

They're horrendous by the way. Absolutely horrendous.

[Angry_Pirate]

Cantwell on for Dolan. Abysmal performance against an abysmal team. A competent team wins this 4-2.

And we're losing to them. It isn't good enough.

Expect another early goal or two from Derby as we take 10 mins to settle in to the half.  We really needed to tie it up before the half.  Hopefully Eustace will try to hold the lead.  Man this football ckub just does me head in but I've kept coming back for more 60 years I must be mad or seriously ill

Yeah Dolan did very well, and Ohashi.

Defensively we have been absolutely shocking, otherwise probably been slightly better on the balance of play.

If we could come out of this a draw it would be something as I dont think we've managed to get anything out of a game after going 2 down in a long long time.

It is worrying that I am not getting good defensive vibes from Ismael... We're a team whose success has been built on a solid back line but that seems to be eroding away. That said I suppose Eustace had a lot of defensive shockers when he first took over (Bristol away etc)...

Kitchen, needs to change his name to Bathroom or toilet.

Dolan did well for our goal. It's what he should be doing more of, driving forward and beating his man.
