@JakeBarker1212 Couldn’t agree more Jake! That’s a huge statement win against an in-form team. Having two no. 9’s who can score goals in Morris and Salvesen is a huge bonus after having no cutting edge at all last season 👍⚽️

Sheff Wed 4 Derby 2.
A master class from Derby in how not to defend, featuring two defenders so slow they may have involuntarily invented a new form of time travel.

Two away-day stalemates from two battling but stale performances but its points on the road nonetheless. Onto Hull tomorrow and another winnable match….

Derby 2 QPR 0.
A belated look at what was in the end a comfortable stroll in the autumn sunshine against a poor QPR. It was meant to be tougher than that wasn’t it?
