Derby coach Andy Garner sympathised with Thorn when he he said: "The players know they have been in a game. Full credit to Coventry, I thought they were excellent, especially in the first half."
"We were delighted to come in at half-time (on level terms.) We were struggling a bit but the most important thing is we don't concede and a couple of months ago we might have come in losing 1-0."
Garner pinpointed the save by Frank Fielding 90 seconds before Derby scored as a pivotal moment in the contest.
"It was a massive moment," he admitted.
"I think their manager would probably say it sums their season up."
"It was a brilliant save and then fortunately for us and unfortunately for them, we go 1-0 up but it was a great goal."
The thing is, you don't win football matches on points. You only win them on goals and Sisu (in their wisdom-not) sell our top goalscorer prior to the game without having a replacement able to play. Makes you question their knowledge of the game does it not?
Many, many teams have gone down playing 'good football.'
Funny how people keep saying we are playing good football and yet we have only scored 6 goals in 13 away games. When you look at the all the stats you can't even say we're missing hat-fulls of chances away from home either. All points to pretty football with no end product and not enough chances created.
Well, there ain't many more assets to go, and if that was their intention then we could be saying goodbye to them soon. I doubt however that that will be the case.
