This was tough as expected. One change from last week, Byers dropped for Kalulu. He made a promising debut, a few stray passes but looked tricky on the wing.
Both sides played attacking football and Derby had a harsh penalty awarded, a Boswell tackle on Bogle. Waghorn placed his shot bottom left hand corner but Woodman made a great save. Derby players complained at every decision against them and poor and weak reffing helped them gain free kicks in dangerous areas.
Well pleased with the draw at the end.

Last twenty minutes we were weakened by our subs, they were strengthened by theirs, which led to a lot of pressure on us.
Also our goalie started to kick out long balls instead of passing from the back, resulting in the ball coming straight back at us.
I’d have preferred Byers to come on instead of Dhanda, who looked a bit lightweight.
Good point though.
Derby are a strong side at home, finished in 6th place on 74 points, and were in the play-off final v Aston Villa.
We were three wins behind them on 65 points, can we get a few more wins this season and get in the play-offs. Our away form let us down last season, hopefully Cooper can improve that this season. Yesterday was a good start.

Got to mention the poor coverage on Quest last night, a clip of a few seconds, then all they talked about was Rooney, before moving on.
Surely an hour of Championship game highlights should be better used and give analysis on both teams.
