Derby Match Thread

[Ronnie Rangers]

Popped onto a Derby forum thinking they would be going on about how much they hate us. Surprisingly I found no evidence to support that. They do hate Charlie though.

Some really good comments though saying we are a very very good side, the best they've played this season, deserved to win etc..

Football fans that don't like a bit of Charlie, what has the world become.

Fulham fans quite complimentary about us tonight, fair play:

Just got in , that M1 is never ending. Always nicer journey when we win

[stainrodisalegend]

Good effort 72, yes M1 my worst road.

While you were driving down I was reading the Derby message board. Very complimentary about us, saying we are better than Bournemouth etc. Only unintentionally hilarious comment was one poster who said "take Austin, Willock and Gray out of that team and they would be nothing special." Then someone added "Yeah, if you add Chair to that list." Then I think someone else added another name. Yeah, take out half our team and apparently we are nothing special!

Love that wind up merchant !!

What was behind that though? Did I miss something during the game where they gave him some stick or is it a long running thing?

[dave58]

luckily Gray didn't stop was aware to score a great goal otherwise we'd all bemoaning how bad Chair's missed header was, he really should've scored, Gray got him off the hook, one thing we've learnt last night is that Chair ain't no good with his head 2 good chances both missed, great performance from the team especially 2nd half, Albert's persistence to win the ball back, although I thought he had an so so game, Derby singled him out played a lot of ball down that side, Austin great all round game, WILLOCK ? well the boy is sheer class, the togetherness & never say die spirit is there for all to see, The Breadman deffo getting a tune out of this team,

Banana skin avoided.

Phew !

You could see how happy the players were when they came over to us at the end . They never gave up and settled for the draw..... Great effort

qpr played well, so too did derby, we scored 2 classic goals proper goal of the season contenders, austin wound em up and we had the 2-1 win i hoped for. 3rd, qpr are 3rd!!! " i can handle the despair, it's the HOPE that gets me" well done warbs and the team, and away fans.

Derby need to learn to play right until the end. Them and late goals ...

We are starting to look more like the second half of last season. Johansen much better of late, run of games think is helping Charlie, Willock fully back on form after a spell looking a bit out of sorts. Hats off to Uncle as well. Not had a decent run really since he joined but making most of it now. Chair a very dangerous player. Am hoping that goal from Gray will spur him on as has shown in the past a quality player in the Championship.

Who was on commentary duty for Sky last night?
Hopefully had good things to say ?

[KevC59]

In Chair's defence having watched the highlights back several times, like you do when we win, he got a hefty old push in the back just as be went for that first header, and yes he wasn't as good last night as he has been,but I for one will give him a pass for that as he has generally been tremendous for us this season

Dunne should have had a stone wall penalty. He was about to smash the ball into a empty net but was dragged back from the ball. Ref saw that......

[SheepRanger]

After that defeat Derby are now 750/1 with bet365 to end up in the top six this season.

The ref was quite clever , he was unfit and slow so he never kept up with play . So a lot of his decisions were scratch your head moments . He just guessed . He stood a long way off of a lot of the plays so he couldn't see the odd push or shove .Why he never booked the player that pulled back dozzell was strange , it was a clear and obvious foul . He was clever in the fact he let a lot go so fans complained about his decisions and not his lack of fitness
