How hard is it to stay onside ? 

I wouldn’t be happy if I was Knight as Hourihane has been poor for weeks now.

Have you learned nothing from B4, get them a customer number, buy them a ticket and then get a burger outside the ground.

Hendrie had already made that decision before the game started. He’s been blowing smoke up the kid’s ‘arris the whole game. I thought both Forsyth and Cashin had better games than him.

Sibley mostly snuffed Bradley out. Loved his tackle on him, that meant he had to foul Sibs and got booked, at the end of the game near their goal-line.

Very good point away to a useful league one team, who’ve been through worse than us and come out stronger.
Our back four were really good, with Foz being the stand out performer.
Midfield benefitted from Knights physical presence and movement, Bird had one of his better games, but Hourihane let them both down.
NML, Collins and Barks tried, but nothing seemed to work much for them and this line up would have looked much better with McG starting and being replaced by a Collins when he tired. Shame he wasn’t available.
There’s definitely positives we can take from that, but we do need to up our quality in the final third and we can’t carry deadweights in midfield.

Another clean sheet, point away and top 6. Shame we had no killer touch again. MoM Fozzie & Cashin.

Good point against a decent Bolton side. Just got to beat them in the return leg at home to make this an even better result.
Fozzy MOTM, cleared up everything. A draw was fair overall I reckon, both sides had some reasonable chances, couple of headers for us we should have buried and they had the best chance of the game early in the second. Shame there wasn't goals as the game deserved some, as entertaining a game as is possible for a 0-0 IMO.
 
 

So studding a player’s shin is OK if he doesn’t have the ball??

VAR would have sent him off for that challenge on Collins

Gotta credit Sibbo for the number of crosses put in

By JK’s standards his last 2 games at RB were poor and maybe there was some friction between him and PW about where he played. I’d think JK in midfield and Smith staying at RB makes most sense, not least because it puts the energy where you need it 

I don’t think he’s on the bench on merit.
More likely they don’t want to rush him back after a nasty injury.
He is without doubt our best young player 

Bring him back, end of 

It was my 14th birthday and the best present I had was the Rams beating Scunthorpe 4-0, On Boxing day we won 4-1 at Scunthorpe, it was a really happy Christmas for me and all Rams fans. Tomorrow wont be as happy as I am 80 so not a lot to be happy about. Just looking forward to a Wembley trip next year in the play offs. Merry Christmas RAMS fans everywhere .
