How does Rawson....

[redandgreen]

...not get in Derby's defence, particularly ahead of that donkey Keogh!

And what manager with any sense would bring 2 strikers on at 3-0 up rather than play the game out. what was he trying to do?

[hillsbmiller]

obvious

he thought bent would bag a goal

[millertop]

Probably because he was born in Nottingham

To be fair R&G I think it was completely rational given the state of the game, we had 1 shot on goal in 80 mins of play compared to their 8 and they had 63% possession. At that point they should have been able to take two off and play us with nine men as that would have been just about a fair match!

...What happened then beggars belief, even the best hindsight heroes couldn't have predicted that!

According to report in Sheffield Star, Rawson was not in the Derby match squad - maybe he is still not fully fit?

[TONY316]

Rawson was in with their supporters apparently, at the 'far end' from us.

[philthefluter]

Oh I see what you did there....... clever

[Lasterman]

I think their manager thought we were so crap, he'd put the two strikers on to get their goal difference up. Can't think of another explanation.

[jolly_roger]

Arrogance, pure and simple.

Maybe he was trying to keep his squad happy with bringing the c.f. on.
