Your Derby v Wrexham Thirst Section podium is IN. 🔥

🏆 Ollie Rathbone
🥈 Callum O’Hare
🥉 Kieffer Moore & Dom Hyam

One raised hand, two overachieving thighs, and shorts under considerable strain. WTS requires medical attention. 🥵

Rathbone is absolutely LAUNCHING himself through this celebration. 🥵🔥

His torso is slightly pitched forward, chest driving into the run, while those shoulders are doing two entirely different jobs. One arm is thrust high, palm open and fingers extended, the other bent back with his hand near his hip. The sheer confidence of that arrangement caused PROBLEMS.

And then there's the lower half. GOOD LORD.

His hips are driving forward over the left leg, that thigh working to carry his weight while the quad holds everything steady. The left leg is flung out behind him, knee bent, calf tightened, boot practically trying to catch up with the rest of the man. There's nothing static about this. His whole body is travelling forward, with the shorts being asked to accommodate an frankly unreasonable amount of thigh movement.

The narrow waist, the twist through his torso, the tension running from hip to knee, the sheer athletic audacity of that extended stride. Every muscle has received the message that Rathbone has just equalised in the 88th minute, and apparently none of them believe in celebrating discreetly.

Meanwhile, the Thirst Section has completely lost cardiovascular stability. Someone is monitoring the structural integrity of those shorts, someone else has forgotten how their knees are supposed to work, and the rest of us are staring at the combination of an airborne lower leg, powerful thigh, and commanding raised hand like we've just been issued instructions we are physically incapable of following.

Ollie, darling. You rescued a point. You did not need to trade that for our vitals. 🫠🔥

International break over. Derby struck early. Windass injured. Wrexham chasing the game for 79 minutes. Then 88' Moore rose, Rathbone pounced, and a point was SNATCHED from Derby’s hands. The Thirst Section electorate has not recovered. 🔥🥵👇

Moore got things moving early, winning a free kick that saw Langas booked on 5'. O'Hare set up Whiteman for a blocked effort, but Derby promptly broke away and Szmodics scored on 9' Extremely rude. Then Windass went down injured 🥺, forcing Rathbone on after just 15 minutes. Ekomié immediately tested Vickers, O'Hare forced another save, and Kaboré narrowly missed. O'Hare kept creating chances, setting up Worrall for a blocked effort before having one of his own blocked just before halftime.

After the restart, Ekomié supplied Moore for a shot wide, while Patterson saved Fuseini's effort as Derby looked for another. Worrall had a header blocked, and Smith and Imray arrived to freshen things up. Imray saw an effort blocked, Rathbone picked up a yellow on 71' and O'Hare won a free kick that earned Mowatt a booking before sending his own shot high and wide. Ekomié also fired over from another O'Hare pass.

Then came 88'. Moore headed the ball into Rathbone's path and Ollie finished from close range. 1–1. The man who came on because of an injury had just rescued a point. Apparently 73 minutes of unexpected Ollie was exactly what everyone needed. 🥵 Moore sent a late effort high and wide before collecting a yellow in stoppage time.

Rathbone dominated the thirst vote with 38%, his equaliser sending the electorate into entirely predictable distress. O'Hare took 20% after an afternoon of chances created, shots attempted and fouls won. Moore and Hyam shared 14%, Moore supplying the crucial headed assist while Hyam won a defensive free kick late on. Smith claimed 12% despite only arriving in the second half, while Windass still attracted 2% before injury cut his afternoon painfully short.

International break over. Ollie Rathbone reminding the Thirst Section exactly what it had been missing. 🔥

We stole that away point, thankfully. Imagine playing an entire match like the last 20 minutes. I know, I know. We need a consistent starting 11

Thanks to @askwxm.bsky.social @miarobbo.bsky.social and Andy "Punch Pass" Morrell

POTM goes to Moore

I know we have some injuries to deal with, but losing this feels awful. We were not outplayed, WE underplayed. Each one of these players has quality and it didn't seem as apparent as usual today.
AND WE JUST EQUALIZED
GGGOOOAAALLL!!!
