Jacob Widell Zetterström decides it from twelve yards
2 kept out in the shoot-out, and a stadium that will still be describing them in twenty years. A goalkeeper only needs one of these to be remembered forever.
Match4 Nov 2026
Derby County march on in the cup
Brighton are out and Derby County go through, 1‑1 the final word. The bracket opens up a little, and everyone allows themselves a look at it.

Nobody could get near David Ozoh
Successful dribbles: 30. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.
Match7 Nov 2026
6 matches without a win for Derby County
The run now stands at 6, and the questions being asked around Derby County are no longer polite ones.

Sheyi Ojo says Derby County went back on their word
“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Marc Guiu, 20, plays like he has been here for years — 7.60
A mark of 7.60 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 20-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.

Sam Szmodics in a row with a teammate
It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Derby County this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Derby County count the cost of losing Joe Ward
17 days, the scan says, and scans are kinder than reality. The fixtures in that window have just become somebody else’s job.

The game went through Patrick Agyemang — 6.70
Marked 6.70 on 9 actions at both ends of the pitch. Midfielders like this get described as unspectacular by people who have never tried to play against one.
