Nah, it bounced on the line.

I'm sure I saw it hit the back of the net from my seat so anything's possible

Not sure how there was only 3 mins added time yesterday

Was two injuries and four subs(i think) in normal time, why not? Plus the ref had a chat with half their teamevery 10 minutes.

So what, we haven't beaten Derby in... three games now? The ghost of Allardyce looms large when this lot come around.

I was expecting a little more to be added, they were wasting time from about half hour in. That bit where savage spent two minutes on the deck with play going on round him, then another two getting 'treatment' then wandering slowly off the pitch.

 

And then after they had said three minutes there was the player being sent off followed by the slowest ever walk off, then the substitution with both players taking an age to go off/on. It just seemed to all be over very quickly.

Exactly. So there should have been more. For a start, Savage was on the floor for at least 3 minutes.

He didnt play only 3 mins of added time though, thought we were into the 95th minute by the end

Only because ther was another injury during the added time.

Plus a red card and final sub

Bah, not an ideal result but still better than the Wednesday performance. Derby have one of the weakest away records in the division but bar some sloppy finishing and a bit of bad luck we could have been taking three points.

 

We set a good pace in the first half and we created a couple of good opportunities and while things expectedly dropped in the second we still carved out two very good opportunities.

 

Derby also deserve a bit of credit too. We did create chances but on the whole they defended well. They also moved the ball competently and put a couple of good crosses into the area but like some many teams at this level lacked cutting edge.

Derby were crap, but they had two big centre halves and we obliged by humping the ball high into the penalty area for them to gratefully clear time after time.
