Leeds United v Derby County Match Thread

[John in Louisiana]

FT 2-0

[Irish Ian]

Game fizzling out now.

Big test on Tuesday now against a team who know how to score goals

[The Subhuman]

Lovely from Gnonto ..

[Onemanstanding]

Rothwell, Rodon and Tanaka have been the been the best from me. Only seen about 45 minutes of action though as the stream has been poor.

[airedale]

Solid win in poor conditions .

[andrewjohnsmith]

Camera shot on Derby fans, Imagine traveling to an away game in this weather. Watching your team put 11 behind the ball and have one shot on target (straight at the keeper)

[Clitheroe White]

Nice comfortable win overall. Players didn’t look too tired so helpfully fresh enough for Tuesday.

[The Subhuman]

2-0 comfortable win, Derby poor

Next up last season we beat Blackburn away

[CUSSIE01]

Sunderland win 2-1

[andrewjohnsmith]

Andy Hinchcliffe agrees with you and Joe gets MOTM

Damn Hinchcliffe, I can't give Rodon MOTM now.

[Onemanstanding]

Sunderland win 2-1

Hopefully Sheffield United lose later.

[andrewjohnsmith]

Sunderland win 2-1

Stoke and Derby very similar in the table

If you look at the stats between the two games, it looks like ours was a much more convincing win. Don't see Sunderland threatening the top two.

[BlackHillsPaul]

Another home win and three points. I'll take it!!

[SG90]

Good result and nice to see some different goalscorers. Just shows how important set pieces are going to be vs the bus parkers. Derby showed zero ambition, like most do. Middlesbrough will be a different kind of game, similar to the Swansea game. Nice to see the players shooting from outside the box, but why is it only when we're ahead when it happens?

[SG90]

Hopefully Sheffield United lose later.

They're long overdue a defeat tbh, up the Corberan

[Sean_Nile]

It's the job of the board to appoint a manager I can only comment on his performance which to date has been disappointing

7 wins at home and one defeat... how disappointing.

[Cjay]

Decent result in tricky conditions.

Back to 2ppg which is the minimum target.

Nice to see people like Rothwell, Aaronson and Wober step up.

[DDB220]

Wober may get a run in the starting 11 now. Will be interesting to see how he gets on, a useful option to fill in at LB with Sam and Junior requiring treatment. He was steady today, scored a good goal, a decent cameo.

Rothwell delivered some great corners, despite the conditions. It is his ability to vary the type of delivery that makes him a huge upgrade on what we have had previously. If you have a set piece taker who can deliver a ball which pretty much replicates what occurs on the training ground then there is going to be a higher chance of scoring.

The near post corner for Striujk to head on, which we were unlucky not to score from illustrates that the drills on the training ground are working. You can work on set-pieces every day and all week. If the initial delivery is not good enough then it all unravels.

Could be a tough turn around to the Boro game. They've had one more days rest.

[DDB220]

A lot of chat on certain streams suggesting Amps will struggle to get back in the starting 11. I will place money that he starts as soon as he is ready. How Farke accomodates his return will be interesting. Rothwell and his set piece responsibility will not be easy to dispense with. That then leaves Tanaka or BA.
He will probably suggest it is a good problem to have, but not an easy decision to make. I would presume there will be more rotation as we are seeing with the wingers.
