Armstrong main striker then

[tdmickey3]

Armstrong down the middle FFS 

[Suhari]

Fellows coming on, and AA upfront alone?

[davefizzy14]

Really hope Ross is all ok 🙏

[Gloucester Saint]

Inevitable with Stewart unfortunately- that’s why I said we should look for David Connolly type cameos. Fellows on.

This has got to be in his head, the physios barely looked at him before signalling to come off and he's walking absolutely fine.

No. I have had a history of hammy injuries and if it goes, even just slightly then it's absolute folly to continue. You'll tear it really badly and miss months. When you know you know!

[benjii]

Don't like this sub. Would prefer a like for like. Armstrong is doing well in his current position

 

[Suhari]

I don't like that substitution, Will.

Absolute madness we came into the season relying on him to be fit then. January is the time to see if anyone is desperate enough to give us a couple of million for him and get someone else in.

[obelisk]

ArmA leading the line then. That probably won't work.

Poor tackle on Shea

Isn’t that why we bought DD, he was supposed to be the main man.

Oh well, it was good while it lasted.

Fellows out wide right is accurate with his crossing so he may be able to find Arma in some space.

We're badly missing a reliable goal scorer and have been for many years. Criminal that we've never addressed this.

Stewart finds some form and then gets injured.

Course.

Scienza has done the ref there!

Or Archer......says a lot about our options...

 

[Jack]

I fucking hate the refereeing in this league. That’s the easiest advantage to play on and book him later. Clown 

[Saint86]

Finding it harder and harder to listen to blackmore's commentary these days. He doesn't have a clue what's going on on the pitch, and his opinions on players/referees actions are just nonsense. He's also overly critical on some players in line with his own opinion - seeking to make comparisons all the time and always find something to have a moan about on certain players. Needs to just pipe down, watch the game, and provide a commentary ffs.

Paired with the fact that he likes to act lie hes a mouth piece for the fans (but actually just spouts the club line), and he's just bloody irritating.

True. I forgot he existed, which kind of tells it's own story.

[SouSaint]

Jander and Charles have been pretty poor imo. 

[obelisk]

ArmA standing in an offside position for no particular reason brings that attack to an end.

[Saint Scott]

Good effort Scienza

[Suhari]

Unlucky Scienza.

[OttawaSaint]

Ohhhhh Leo! What a hit! Saved!

I was at school with Blackmore. He was a rugger bugger who had a mild interest in football and was a Villa fan to the best of my memory. Don’t ever recall him ever really talking about football.

[Saint_clark]

Smart one touch passing through the midfield, Great run from fellows, strong shit from Scienza which the keeper struggles with. I like what I'm seeing. 

Edit; lol, strong shit. I'm leaving that in.

We’ll crack another one in shortly.

[RedArmy]

That’s a rocket from Scienza 

[Suhari]

Looking better now.

 

[OttawaSaint]

Liking Leo a lot. 

[Saint NL]

We've picked up again, much better 

[adrian lord]

Sounds like we’ve got our composure back

[Osvaldorama]

McCarthy masterclass and Scienza probably the biggest positives so far.

Arma was ok from the wing but invisible at 9 as usual

I often struggle to deal with a strong shit tbf. 
 

Great strike - he looks class when he isn’t fouled within seconds of getting the ball

[Saint Scott]

Fucking bullshit! Was our throw in

[tdmickey3]

No surprise 

[benjii]

FFS

[whelk]

Fuck off

[sockeye]

And there it is.

[OttawaSaint]

Weak!

[Colinjb]

FFS

[SouSaint]

And that's his first goal for Derby. Of fucking course it is, so fucking Saintsy.
