Matchday Thread: Rams v Barnsley

[DCFCArmy]

Cracking win and Warne is proper getting a tune out of them

We’re looking decent and good chance of promotion through the playoffs if we continue on this trajectory

Wet Spam at home in next round. Not bad draw, not great. 10% chance of getting a win maybe, but replays still apply in this round which is a shame

Good win today, West Ham sponsored by the FA up next.

A very good win and a good home draw, a premier league team which should get a good crowd and I'd say and outside chance of a win, I mean if Stevenage can beat Aston Villa away, we should be able to give it a go.

Pretty even stevens for 45 minutes. They had the early doors header from Edwards that Wildsmith did well to parry. Later in the half we had Dobbs' header which hit the bar. Barnsley slightly the better for 20 or so minutes and then we grew into the game. Injury time and Edwards thinks he's in a rugby lineout and we get a penalty, well put away by Collo.

They had a good opening 2 or 3 minutes in the 2nd half but we then took control. 3-0 didn't flatter and it could/should have been more. That's now 16 games on the trot where we haven't been beaten in normal time. Just the penalty shoot out loss at Anfield.

All well and good but it won't mean a thing if we don't beat Cheltenham at the weekend. The Cup is no more than a side show for us at the moment. League wins are the only priority.

I've watched the penalty several times and can't see an intentional handball. At best it was ball to hand rather than hand to ball. I'd say the ref was on the take or more likely awarded the pen to ensure the bigger team wins. No controversy that way.Maybe I need to go to specsavers or perhaps the ref does. Either way, we get these decisions against us every week so there's no point in complaining about another one.

Gunter, there is absolutely no reason his hand was 2 feet above his head. Did Edwards complain? No. Did any of his teammates berate the ref? No. Their lack of complaint tells it all. It was hands and the penalty was justified. Fans really should read the Laws and understand them before complaining about a decision. It would also help if they got the extra info refs get pre season.

I thought your number 2, Williams?, had a very good game. With regard to Edwards, I hope his injury doesn't turn out to be long term.

Deffo penalty, he raises his arm when not necessary. Most penalties are ball to hand, its the unnatural position which has resulted in it being given.

All clubs get decisions go against them and feel there is a conspiracy, it was widely discussed last season that decisions were going against Derby under a directive from the EFL as they were scared we might stay up, unlikely but some of the decisions were absolute shockers when viewed back.

Who are you suggesting was paying the ref off?
