Glad for him, Key had an excellent game. Our defence has been excellent it meant the midfield hold their ground and win the midfield battle and get the ball down quickly, how many openings did we make. Will enjoy and look forward to the Watford game. |  | |  |

| Derby County v Swansea City Match Thread on 14:22 - Aug 29 by union_jack | Yes, very clean but defensively Derby are a shambles. Can only beat what’s in front if you though. Well done to all concerned today. |
Indeed Derby were dire and we face a vast difference when we play the likes of Wolves, west am, Boro for example VIP looks average at the moment but we could cover his being sold Right now I’d say we’ve already played two teams who could go down This week is a real marker Ranky Watford them Hollywood FC We can beat both and expect us to do so It might be our time folks This year |  |

Well done to all concerned and fair play to Vitor for those timely substitutions. That's the in-game management that has been missing in previous campaigns. |  |

| Derby County v Swansea City Match Thread on 14:39 - Aug 29 with 2166 views | GVJack | Huge improvement on last week, yes we can question the difference in opposition and tactically Sheffield United played for a draw away from home last week, but the swans Intent was chalk and cheese compared to last week and was clear to see. I hope we keep our entire squad so that we have quality to choose from, have an opportunity to rest players, put pressure on players to perform when given the chance and keep opposition guessing with our team selection and tactics. Wasn't all sunshine and roses, think we lacked some composure and left a few goals out there from the number of chances and positions we created but 3 goals and a clean sheet away from home is superb. |  | |  |
| Derby County v Swansea City Match Thread on 14:44 - Aug 29 with 2090 views | swan65split | I hope im not tempting disaster...despite it looking a poor rams side, we are looking a team that might do something, a good sqaud of players, looks like plenty of desire and fight. Welsh looks a good one to me, so far so good. and no one litened to me Ronald aint no winger, but through the middle...... yep and the old /new slide rule put in another one today well done lads Onwards and Upwards COYS. |  | |  |

They might have been surprised at the ease of which they slaughtered Derby Lissah is quite clearly a special lad, mature beyond his years Special talent stands out . He does Welsh a proper defender Both Bango and Burgess will not find it easy to get straight back into the side Only concern I have is Stewart and his prone to injury I’d like VIP to stay |  |

| Derby County v Swansea City Match Thread on 14:48 - Aug 29 with 2026 views | RichardO | Was concerned it was going to be a long day after scoring so early, then WE go and score that "just before half time goal" and then survived their attempt at a comeback and should have then seen the game off a lot earlier. Happy days. New game on Tuesday to start all over again. Hope Opoku isn't a long term absence because we need players to get on Welsh's through balls. |  | |  |
| Derby County v Swansea City Match Thread on 14:51 - Aug 29 with 2004 views | Joesus_Of_Narbereth | I expected Derby to be poor as they only scraped a draw against a very poor Cardiff side. But we were very very good to be fair. |  |

In some ways VIP looking average may be good for us. If he’d scored a couple today it may have been harder to keep him. Of course, he still may go. Our away form is taking shape but we’ve got to get our home form up there with it. Only Sheff Utd to go by but that was disappointing. Let’s take the games by the scruff of the next week and two wins are definitely possible. After today, confidence will be higher again. |  |

| Derby County v Swansea City Match Thread on 15:03 - Aug 29 with 1856 views | hughesy2013 | What a performance from the swans! Welsh has been outstanding so far this season. How good is he on the ball with his range of passing! I also think Lissah and him together looked really good! I rate Lissah! Fulton was again brilliant at just breaking up the play and keeping things ticking along! Eom is our best winger, I think hes improving all the time! Widell is perfect for the way the swans want to play with the high press, if he can just add goals to his game! Idah all round game has been brilliant for the swans too! his hold up play and little touches laying it off is perfect to get the swans wingers involved! Where is walta and stewart today? I will be honest I would like us to keep the bulk of this squad....so important in this leagiue with so many fixtures! having depth is key! What a performance! I have a good feeling about this season! definately reckon we can get in the play offs! [Post edited 29 Aug 15:04]

| Derby County v Swansea City Match Thread on 15:09 - Aug 29 with 1802 views | union_jack | I’m concerned our greatest threat this year may be injuries. Not a great start. I heard Stewart is injured which hopefully won’t be for long and Opuku going off is a concern. We need this strength in depth. |  |

| Derby County v Swansea City Match Thread on 15:39 - Aug 29 with 1576 views | jack_lord | I don't know if Derby were that bad they made us look good or if we actually were that good today. Very good team performance and a completely different attack game with the change of strikers. Lissah was good. Welsh was good and Eustaquio certainly looked the part when he came on. We still made a fair amount of mistakes although we did weather the Derby storm. Should have been 5 or 6 nil and I think that Vip looked really good when he came on. Made the right decision with his shot but keeper reacted well. He also laid off a couple that could have resulted in goals. Jubilation but Derby were poor |  |

| Derby County v Swansea City Match Thread on 15:45 - Aug 29 with 1541 views | 3swan | A couple of scares when they made the subs at half time We weathered the 15 mins or so. Apart from that, what a performance, and could have had a couple more. Early days but individual performances to give hope that things will gel |  | |  |

Odd is t it On fire last season but smouldering on this Idah looks more glassy every time he plays He’s growing onto our club ethos He’s got a decent touch and brings others into play I d have a lie down but All Blicks about to take on Saffas |  |

Yes, they were but we made them look poor in the first half because we played very well after getting the confidence from an early goal. They came out with greater purpose in the second half but although better they weren’t that effective but the last quarter they were dire. I think they just didn’t have the desire from about 70’ on. We should have had at the very least 4 goals but I’m not going to be greedy😁 |  |

Indeed. Derby and Stoke are the bottom two teams in the division at the moment. The next 5 games before the international break will give us a better indicator of where we are. |  | |  |

I’m not going to open this wound but I didn’t pick up doom and gloom last week. Disappointment given our performance against Stoke the previous week, yes. No more than that though. |  |

looks like Galbraith could be heading back to lg 1. Yes Stoke and Derby are poor but we put Derby to the sword today .... It will be different against the likes of West Ham et al but I'm not sure we will he overrun |  |

You are not going to get away with this We won No need to look to open old wounds on who are the best fans so cut this crap now No gloom and doom last week or any week You want doom and gloom, then I pray you don’t end up on a care home unable to look after yourself For doom, look at footage of Nepal For gloom , try an Oncology unit where folk get an analysis they dread Never ever suggest this forum is full of doom or gloom Better still , enjoy the day |  |
