Derby now got equaliser at Norwich so maybe its not too bad after all

[TipperaryBaggie]

Derby now in front!

About time they had a taste of it. Not writing them off yet!

Really proud of the lads today. Getting a draw from a well drilled team after being down to 10 men for the last half hour is the kind of result that will make all the difference at the end of the season.

You could be right Boingy, but not I suspect in the wa6 you mean. Getting a draw at home against a well drilled team could well cost us at the end of the season. It was a game we needed to win me thinks.

That said, do agree with you that it could have been a lot worse. It just shows how much we rely upon Gayle and Barnes. Need to improve the squad next month if we are to get into the top 2.

Agree Yarm, but we now have done better than Leeds and Norwich today

Anyone know why Barry and Phillips were left on the bench today?

[boingy]

Maybe because of the lack of rest between games. Moore has to rotate his squad now and again or we will have no regulars left.

Play Barry til his legs drop off. Morriston and Brunt are completely useless. Brunt can't even hit a dead ball anymore. So he offers nothing. Morriston just let's players jog by him and does not follow them. There time is well and truly up.
I also have learned why Sako doesn't get a game. He just hides on the wing.

[Leicesterbaggie]

Rodders sent off. So the answer is to withdraw Sako and send HRK on. Oh and Barry for Morrison.
Pity,most of the games are going our way at the moment.

I would have replaced Sako with HRK as well. What did Sako do? Absolutely nothing. In the first half we had Sako hugging one touch line and Barnes hugging the other. This meant that we only had Rodrigues as the lone striker and completely isolated. The system just didn't work. At least with Phillips and HRK we looked more potent, even when down to ten men.
