    We're also asking you to get in touch and offer your views on your club's campaign so far...

    Wayne Andrews: Luton Town. Based on every other team's expectations for the Hatters = A-minus. Based on our own expectations = B.

    N Moore: Bristol City A- ! Oh hang on... Let me see here... hmm... Ah... I'm afraid they've been caught cheating on the test. It may have looked like an A, but it's more like a D, and I'm going to need to have another look, might even be an F.

    Goals from Colin Kazim-Richards and Kamil Jozwiak have put the hosts in control at the break.

    The Rams also hit the woodwork twice.

    Promotion hopefuls Swansea have barely got going and need a vast improvement after half-time.

    Derby 2-0 Swansea

    Into two minutes of injury time and the Rams almost get a third from a corner.

    The header comes in from Colin Kazim-Richards from around the penalty spot and rattles the crossbar before Swansea hack clear.

    Derby 2-0 Swansea

    Derby are looking comfortable in possession ahead of the break.

    Getting to half-time with their two-goal lead intact is the priority.

  7. Postpublished at 40 mins

    Derby 2-0 Swansea

    The two-goal lead is no more than Derby deserve.

    The Rams have been the better side from the first whistle.

    They scored only three goals in their first nine home games this season, but have two in the first half this evening.

    A first win at Pride Park looks on the horizon.

    Kamil Jozwiak

    Derby double their lead and in style.

    A cross breaks to Martyn Waghorn to lay off to the edge of the area.

    Winger Kamil Jozwiak controls with his right and then fires a left-footed strike into the net from just inside the box.

    A brilliant and clinical finish by the Pole. Swans keeper Freddie Woodman had no chance.

    Derby 1-0 Swansea

    The Swans are remaining patient and persisting with their passing game.

    Andre Ayew is presented with a half-change after two Derby players try to head the same ball in the box.

    But the Ghana international mistimes his left-footed effort and skews the ball well wide of goal.

    Half an hour gone and Wayne Rooney has been very active on the touchline, barking out orders to his players.

    I'm sure he'll be happy with his side's performance so far. The Rams have worked hard and managed to keep Swansea at arm's length.

    Nick: Boro a B+. Would be a solid A if we had a goal scorer. Sir Neil of the Warnock working miracles with a thin, young squad.

    Derby 1-0 Swansea

    Swansea haven't clicked in attack at all but are starting to get a foothold in the game.

    Rams keeper David Marshall has been a spectator so far - he hasn't had a save to make.

    Derby 1-0 Swansea

    Midway through the first half and this man's early goal is the difference.

    Will it be enough to secure Derby's first home win of the Championship season? There's a long, long way to go.

  14. HITS THE WOODWORKpublished at 20 mins

    Derby 1-0 Swansea

    Derby are firmly on top.

    After a slick passing move, Jason Knight lets fly from 25 yards out and hits the left-hand upright.

    Swans keeper Freddie Woodman touched it onto the woodwork.

    Derby 1-0 Swansea

    Another free-kick out wide for the Rams, this time on the right flank.

    A tame header from Krystian Bielik is gathered by the visiting keeper.

    The Swans have committed several fouls in dangerous areas.

    We're approaching the Christmas holidays fast. Just two more school days for most kids across the country until they break up for the festive season.

    That means it's also time for some school reports. Dread.

    We want your EFL gradings. Swansea B+. Wycombe A for effort. That sort of thing.

    Colin Kazim-Richards is fine to continue.

    He has provided a focal point in attack for Derby since he came into the starting line-up at the end of November.

    Derby 1-0 Swansea

    So close to a second for the Rams.

    Martin Waghorn lofts the ball across to Colin Kazim-Richards, but Kyle Naughton challenges the striker inside the six-yard box and heads the ball away from danger.

    The man known as Kazim Kazim during his time playing for Turkey needs some treatment after clashing heads with the Rams defender.

    Swansea have a chance to reply immediately from a corner, but the hosts deal with the ball into the box.

    How will the visitors respond to going behind? They have had more of the ball in the opening stages.

    Colin Kazim-Richards

    Derby snatch an early lead!

    It comes from another set-piece as Lee Buchanan turns Graeme Shinnie's delivery into the centre of the box.

    Colin Kazim-Richards snatches a run on his marker and turns the ball past the Swans keeper from the edge of the six-yard box.

    A true poacher's finish from the much-travelled striker, and a perfect start for the Rams.
