Great win, not easy and nervous for injury time. Shocking ref
Yes a shame really, but then thats 3 in a row they have lost!!Quote:

Looking at this injury ravaged squad, it does seem to be apparent that rather than poor signings, it was Warne's tactics and coaching that has resulted in derby's position. I know that necessity might be forcing Eustace's hand with team selection, but 3 out of 3 ain't bad. Shame there is a break coming up, but then maybe some of the "sick notes" might be available.
Langas hopefully returning will be a positive. Great result, another lifeline
18 days, I think, till we play again. I agree it interrupts our new found momentum, but 18 more days of recovery from injury and training with JE and Co. could be very beneficial. Let’s hope so as hope is something we were all rapidly running out of just eight days ago.Quote:

The break may or may not suit us but the last few weeks are gonna be a bit nerve wracking so look out finger nails!
I've got visions of the last game of the season vs Stoke being a pseudo play off final
If that's the case then never mind nails it'll be good bye fingers!
Another poser for MA, the ref (it looks like with justification) has been assessed by the fans as '****ing useless' and 'a homer', but one of the examples given was the disallowing of the 'goal' after a 'foul' on the keeper. I've argued for 24 hours with a fellah who can't see Harkness' arm raised and either touch the ball or collide with the keeper's arm(s) - can you, and would you say that's a foul? I would, but I'm bound to, I was a keeper.
When did this "foul and disallowed goal happen" as I only caught the last 20 minutes following my bro in Law's birthday late lunch in the Atomium in Brussels?Quote:

Can you give me a precis of the incidents queried over the past week as I've been out "socialising" for all but one of the past 10 days. PM?
With regard to the game, we obviously deserved the win because we're Derby ;) I've seen the goals and we're taking most of our chances, it seems. Yates and Jackson still don't seem capable of hitting a cow's arse with a banjo. Yates does do good work in open play though.
The ref? seemed to give some weird decisions every time one of theirs went down, especially in their box. A fair few of them, that I saw weren't and there's photos online of the one where 2 Plymouth players collided in mid air, not a Rams player withing 4 yards, one of them satyed down and got a free kick. Absurd IMO.
