Post Match Thoughts
Derby completely took any wind we had out of the game with the constamt rugby tackling and dragging players down and pushing our players over and shirt pulling.
We hit the post twice and were hit twice on the counter and a pass that was deflected in, it was nothing more than luck.
We played a club that is 2nd in the league, they are 2nd for a reason. I think we would lose to Barcelona and our fans would demand Cotterill out saying we shouldnt have lost.
3 wins in 4 is great form for any club.
Roberts needs to stop his hoofing because it never reaches the man.
Kieftenbelds only skill is running around a lot. He has no technical ability and should be replaced immediately.
Davis was lively first half and Gardner is always showing for the ball and did some great play in the first half.
Gallagher seemed a bit over confident following his recent form, but thats not always a bad thing.
Grounds did great again against the toughest wingers to play against in this division bar Wolves.
We dominated the ball, the space, the play, the movement but we don't have that technical ability in the middle and that golden touch up front.
This league is pretty equal, everyone can beat everyone. The winner in most games is who gets the lucky chance fall to them.
Burton lost, Sunderland lost, Bolton lost, Reading, Hull, Barnsley all drew. We didnt have a bad week in terms of results. Lets kick on next week and pick off where we left off.
