Exiles thread - Derby C. (H)

[Rich Tea Wellin]

Good finish that. Perkins been unreal so far

[DrWindy]

Bollocks

[Currywurst and Chips]

Well that was a fun four minutes

[Rich Tea Wellin]

Ffs. Clare losing possession there

[EliotNes]

The lead didn't last long

[Mistadobalina]

Number 11 for them is an absolute bully. Playing well but you can see the quality they have when going forward.

[Stan1972]

Dohhhhhhhh
No worries we go again
COYO’s

[DrWindy]

Very much in this. I would have taken 1-1 after 25 minutes. Come on boys.

[gshaw]

The strength of the bench is going to be telling as this goes on, wonder how DJ will fare over 90 mins

[DrWindy]

The step up in skill is very evident but we are doing well.

[Rich Tea Wellin]

More than matching them so far. Just got to be careful with our press, there’s gaps all over the shop when they win it. And Blackett-Taylor against Galbraith scares me

[Mistadobalina]

Pratley's age showing quite a bit this half. Derby unsurprisingly look bigger and faster than us, creating some hairy moments out wide.

Barely recognise Perkins tonight. Technically looked incredible.

[EliotNes]

Yellow card for Pratley

[Stan1972]

I think we might see Brown for Pratley at HT
Or James for Pratley, and push Clare in CM

[Rich Tea Wellin]

We e had the better chances. Should have done better with a few. Perkins been very good. Clare looks well off it to me.

Only criticism is that we’ve had 4 or 5 shots from 25 yards where there was a better option available. It’s well winnable though

[Bergen]

Good 1st half. Perkins has looked dangerous, but Pratley is giving away too many free-kicks and has already been booked.

COME ON ORIENT!!!

[Rich Tea Wellin]

I think we might see Brown for Pratley at HT
Or James for Pratley, and push Clare in CM

Clare is in CM

I meant Gailbraith into CM

[Qin]

Derby look better quality than us, but they don't seem overly interested.
When we scored, Derby played at a better pace. As soon as they equalised, they slowed down again..
We haven't got enough quality, and we miss Agyei and O Neil massively.
Were showing fight, but quality will win it in the end I'm afraid

[LPE]

Perkins has been a joy to watch. Really impressive. There’s a player in there who is only going to get better and better.

That 27 on the left is a real unit. Dangerously quick for such a big geezer. Being given far too much space.

He ripped us a new one against Charlton a few years ago

[Bergen]

Ebou Adams is coming on for Derby.

[Mistadobalina]

They've stepped it up this half.

[Rich Tea Wellin]

Our front three haven’t had a sniff this half. Need to retain the ball for a period.

[Mistadobalina]

Galbraith now injured. Down to proper bare bones at this point.
