Derby County 3-0 Leyton Orient

Last updated on 13 April 2024.From the section League One60

Sonny Bradley (left) raises his fist after scoring a goal — Sonny Bradley scored two goals as Derby kept up their hopes of automatic promotion with a win against Leyton Orient

Sonny Bradley's brace kept Derby on course for automatic promotion as they claimed a 3-0 win over Leyton Orient.

The Rams got the start they needed in the 10th minute when Kane Wilson tapped in at the back post from a Nathaniel Mendez-Laing corner.

It got even better for the home side eight minutes later when a Louie Sibley corner dropped to Bradley and he fired into the roof of the net.

Orient hardly figured as an attacking threat until Ethan Galbraith had a shot blocked at the end of a first half which had been all Derby.

Shaq Forde had a shot deflected over at the start of the second half but Mendez-Laing went close to a third for Derby with a flick that went narrowly over.

Mendez-Laing had a great chance to finish the game in the 61st minute when he raced clear but a heavy touch allowed goalkeeper Sol Brynn to deny him.

But Bradley made no mistake from another corner in the 86th minute with a bullet header at the back post.

Yeh, caught the train with a few of your fans and some in our pre match pub too. Good fans and made some noise.

After the disappointment of Wycombe & that glaring miss , we handed the initiative back to Bolton, but once more it's in our hands. It now all boils down on us winning at Cambridge. Then hosting a relegated Carlisle, and if we can't beat them, we deserve to be in the play-offs. Twice we've been in the third tier, and each time got out after two seasons. Let's hope we make it three.

I remember Geoff Chandlers penalty that got them promoted, then got promoted to the top tier the following season

Indeed, compared to their neighbours down the A52 who had less than 30k for a premier league fixture where Wolves would have brought more than Orient.

Who doesn’t love football. Wednesday we were dreadful and everyone was doom and gloom. Today we coast to a 3-0 and it’s “we are going up” time! COYR. Two games. Two wins. Please.

Well done Derby. Taken the pressure off nicely after today 🙏

Great result today. Where are all the 'Warne Out' Brigade today?

Exactly that Bill. I gave up posting on here back in early October when there were loads calling for his head. Best record of any current manager for getting out of this division, and give him a proper Champ budget unlike what he had at Rotherham and he’ll do a decent job up there too.

Well done to the Rams players again for bouncing back after a disappointing midweek performance at Wycombe. Great support again today. Orient are a very good footballing side.

HYS open at 18:15…Wrexham’s about 17:20 funny that. 🤔
Anyway, well pleased to be back on track after the Northampton/Ambulance Chasers hiccups. Let’s hope for similar results against Cambridge and Carlisle to today’s as you’ve got to fancy Bolton to win their next two games.

Another step closer to the championship but we must remain focused on the next game as it's just as important as todays
Comment posted by GWJA, at 21:22 13 Apr
Restoring a +5 goal difference with Bolton is also important, just in case

Agreed GWJA although I fear Bolton will eat into that against Shrewsbury and Port Vale, both appear in the doldrums. Nothing a good win at Cambridge can’t sort out mind. COYR 🐏

Quiet night on here after the midweek noise. Pompey, Bolton and Posh fans in check just now.

Why should we as Pompey fans worry we need 1 point from 3 games for promotion 2 for the title
Think it's good ourselves and Derby are going up in particular because the trip to you us one of the better these last 2 seasons
You fans stewards and even old bill treat us better than most other clubs which shows you class
Good luck

Why was the first goal given as an own-goal?

Looks like Warne was the perfect man for the job of getting us promoted out of League One. There's been some poor performances along the way, but some excellent and dominant ones like today, and importantly, a few points stolen here and there.
...And Sonny Bradley as man of the match...I must be dreaming! Brilliant Derby

I think one more win will do it for the Derby. Good old Warno. Right man for the job, correct decision to move from Rotherham. Gets his chance to show what he can really do in the championship

Let's hope.he doesn't employ the same tactics because we will be straight back down. League 1 is a terrible league, and I would say a lot of our ganes have been won in spite of warne, not because of him, saved by the sheer quality of our players many of whom are better than this level.
