What's with the "other"? 

Well at last that match is over. It makes me want to go and break a few windows, or thump an old person in the face so at least the punishment of watching Derby play is somewhat justified. 
So we started by playing the ball on the grass, where Cloughie says it should be played, and we scored., But then what? Bristol upped their tempo after about 20 minutes and it was all over. And what we did was start to hoof the ball long - to the opposition. And then even passing the ball out of defence seemed difficult for us, and often went to the wrong player. On rare occasions we cocked up and played the ball on the floor and actually threatened, but only on very rare occasions.
Actually the ref was pretty ok 1st half, but the EFL must have had their man at Bristol, who popped into the refs changing room at half time because suddenly he was gifting cards out like it was a mass birthday party for Derby players. It actually wasn't a dirty game, with Derby looking the dirtiest because of clumsy challenges, and there was a remarkable lack of malice, which is surprising given who their manager is!
The penalty was give-able because there  player was impeded in the penalty area, but as many have said, is the type of penalty given against us, but never for us. It was certainly softer than the belt in the back given to Jason Knight on Monday! And would have been as soft as the one that could have been given when McGoldrick was pulled down a little earlier, and probably would have been given if he was playing for Bristol. Or any other club who isn't Derby County.
BUT: it wasn't the ref today, because Bristol deserved far more than they got, and we deserved diddly squat because of our dreadful performance, and sitting back once we had gone a goal up. Given that we need to improve our goal difference, sitting back was unforgiveable.
And surely the players themselves have got to have a good sit down and ask themselves what the heck they ere doing this afternoon. Even at League one levels, not being able to pass the ball to your own team-mates for nearly 90 minutes simply isn't good enough.
I shall miss the next home match, against Burton, because I will be at my son's wedding, so at least I will be having good time. I will keep you all in my thoughts, though!

They’ll fine him as he comments in the video, it won’t change anything in our favour apart from maybe encouraging any future officials to bear the comments in mind, however unlikely

Since the goal we’ve gone long, and effectively just give the ball away every time. When we so get it on the floor we do all right. Funny game, football, isn’t it?

And how many of those 50/50 calls have we had? All we ask is consistency. And the only consistent thing is these are always given to the opposition al it’s never to us. 

If it was just poor ref standard then I would see/remember a few games where the ref messed up and gave us too much ,,, doesn’t happen 

Disappointing not to see the game out for a fortunate win by all accounts 
four games to go and we seem to need to win 3 of them to be in contention if we are realistic Peterborough vs Ipswich is looking interesting but we need to get those second goals and yes the odd referee who isn’t keen to to award big decisions against us every other week

He's not Sibbo. Surely that counts in his favour.
 

What’s the point?

It was a penalty, Jim. But not as we know it. 😡

How dare you! Sibley’s impact is needed on the bench.

When McGoldrick or Collins manage to get their head on to a long ball it turns a hoof into a pass so that’s good. But all the front men have done is flick the ball on, but as the furthermost forwards player they were flicking on to ……. nobody!
Come on Derby, we are better than this - allegedly. 

Played football rather than hoofball. This team is more than capable.

Since the goal we have more or less got onto the coach home.

I guess that's why teams send players on loan. We had to play them when they weren't ready, they need to be first choice in their position, so if not with us then out on loan. For me it should be Bird before White, Sibley before Dobbin, and Knight before many, but only if you're playing them where they play best.

One problem is offering the city of Derby as an attractive place to spend the non-football parts of tournament life. Its a dump!
