    Ten things I personally got from the game and the ‘robust’ debate on here afterwards. The latter was probably more interesting… Robbins’ caution canbe bloody minded stubbornness. He's been vindicated before but last night it at its worst – Shipley and substitutions Shipley: He's always liked...

    well actually no, we aren't in one of either of those. Others have rightly left as we have risen why does that not apply to Shipley? And moreto the point why does he still keep getting picked?

    Ostigaard and Sheaf for MaCallum and Shipley. Back to three at the back

    ...and Robin's caution has got us to where we re now. Long may his caution continue

    Whereas I hope we do set defensively for every away game. Three in front of three and nick a point. Hopefully, somewhere in the club's dna is a memory of countless bottom of the table clashes in the top tier. As Fagin didn't sing "Got to pick a point up here..."

    As I said, each of those games we could easily win. But it is very rare that you get a sequence of wins more than three. Let's face it if the Norwich right back had been in his proper position we would not have a three game unbeaten run. Thin margins.

    I'd accept, but would be disappointed with, a draw. Derby have got to win sometime and regardless of what you think of Rooney, he will probably get some sort of 'new manager bounce, so this is not an easy game. I'd like to see MacCallum back, freeing Giles to maraude down the left. But in...

    The length of the Norwich list!! That could be the lucky break we needed

    Would you have bright back?

    Great player, but disrupted the team formation so that collectively we were not improved. That applies even more now

    Next two games

    If we want to be half way by half way - 12th after 23 games - we probably need 4 wins aand 5 draws in the remaining 9 games. Of those games only Millwall away on 2nd Jan looks really tough, it is just that at this level the odds are always against such a long unbeaten run.

    January transfer window

    we have no money (so none coming in) and a comparatively small squad, (so none going out). We are also max'ed out on loans. The only conceivable variable is the team's performance in December against the lower placed clubs. If that is half decent and we move up to lower mid-table, Robins will...

    Not sure it was a dodgy penalty. The other guy got the ball first

    This the kind of game I hate - you spend 70 or so minutes wracked with tension. You love the equalizer but games like this really put you through the ringer.
