Abysmal was probably a tad unfair, but if we’re going to criticise CBT, Washington has to be questioned as well, for an international player to put a ball in like that which should be a straight forward pass should be addressed.

I expected Derby to win, we didn’t , doesn’t always turn out how you want it. I was simply saying if you want to give someone the best chance play a ball along the ground. I’ve lost count of the times a fullback gets a ball neck height from a keeper or a centre passed passed a ball at his face from 3 yards out. A Famous Derby player always use to say “if you can’t pass you can’t play” this was pretty apt last night , a simple ball was all that was needed. Plenty of better players than CBT have missed easy chances than that over the years.

What I find extraordinary is you can’t see that the pass was one you’d expect on a parks pitch on a Sunday morning. I’m no Einstein but I’m going to take a wild guess and say a ball to feet is easier to score from than one sent in knee height. I didn’t realise being a pro footballer also entitles you to score every chance you get. Did some forget to tell Derby this ?

Finding it’s target doesn’t mean it’s a good pass, the pass was abysmal, it needed rolling across the floor, CBT could have sat down had his dinner and still got up and scored if the pass was what you’d expect. The fact is the pass was dreadful along with an attemt at a finish. All said and done you’d expect CBT to score he didn’t , and it could be costly.
