Good game. Great win. Never a penalty; could see that even from where I was.

I know I'm old and grumpy but can't people manage to contain their bladders for 45 minutes and also get in their seats when the game starts. Up down, up down. People in front up, down, up, down. Particularly when they come and go as a gang of 5-6. Rant over

Tbf ive gotten into the habit of going for a piss in the last few minutes purely because Im so nervous im terrified of seeing whats on the pitch in front of me

Didnt even need one in the 88th minute yesterday but standing in the toilets forcing out a dribble of wee passes 2 or 3 minutes

Was a bit disappointed to see people leaving last night with 7 minutes injury time still to play. The game wasn’t won and Derby could have nicked an equaliser

That stupid rule punishes the innocent by having to go off and the culprit gets to play on but yes I thought they didn't have to go off if theres a card shown

He's right to say they want to emulate us.
I could see him building something at Derby if he's given time. He's a good manager.

What I like about Ellis' performance yesterday is that you can see the massive improvement from Simms 1.0 and what the coaches have been working on.

I mentioned a few weeks ago how his hold up play and laying off had improved. Yesterday we saw him turn his man and run full pelt at the goal more than once - Vik style. He's not quite at the Vik level of converting those charges yet, but he's getter there and at least taking the ball away from danger now - when once the ball would have ricocheted off his foot towards our goal and to an opponent.

I note that Josh is back taking corners too and they are improved. Next focus must be finishing one-on-one if he's going to play as a 10 occasionally.

While I totally agree with your post I still don't think he'll be here next season.

With the direction football is moving in tactically, players who really know each other and have good cohesion matter more than ever. Add in a top keeper and that is the formula for getting out of this division.

Rushworth again bailed us out in the first half yesterday, not for the first time.

I agree. But he moves on to a Championship side a better player and worth more than when he arrived.

Great quote from Eustace after being asked about the penalty.

Eustace didn’t got into the details, but he clearly had his tongue firmly in his cheek when he joked: “I thought he was excellent the referee – best game he’s had in his career!”

No disrespect against Simms but I HOPE he is not here next season, he has scored some important goals at times and surprised us all, as well as himself by the look on his face, he seems a nice guy but we definitely need more quality for the prem and unfortunately thats not him!

The BBC also have them clear on xG, but it’s something like 0.9 xG for the penalty that shouldn't have been given. That was nearly half their xG.View attachment 50357
Click to expand...
FootMob’s numbers has changed and our xG is higher now, I’m pretty sure they initially downplayed Rudoni’s two goals.

Derby are a good outfit and gave us a tough game. Nonetheless, we limited them to 3 shots on target and one of them was a penalty. We managed the game and disappointment of being pegged v well.

A couple of points on the pen.

the ref was desperate to give he. He was adamant it was a pen and would not listen to players or even consult the linesman.

Diaz actually dives. You can see him start to two footed jump before rushworth is next to him

Diaz didn’t dive he made sure the keeper made contact. Alan shearer did it all the time.

Really enjoyed Sakamoto’s performance. He’s such a constant threat and his delivery is fantastic.

still simulation. He was going down before the contact. Rather than making contact and going down

100% not a pen. Sky showed it from at least 4 angles and Rushworth got the ball each and every time.
Click to expand...
That's why we need VAR. The ref only sees it once, from one angle, and in real-time. Can't really blame the ref
