I went so far as to say he was, in terms of technical ability, the worst first choice striker we've ever had.
I'd be obliged to add that no first choice striker has ever worked harder.
On balance, I've grown to love him.

Regulation away win aganst inferior opposition. Disciplined, hard working, clinical at the right moments and with the just enough bits of extra quality to take the game away from them.
Well done Derby. On to Saturday.

No.

Massive positive for me...
Oldish bloke sat immediately behind me for years, season after season, game after game... up until covid/shutdown.
Always used to natter, and share a pre-kick off handshake.  (He also saw Muckerette as a lucky mascot, as she had a good run of results when she attended.)
No sign of him on our return to the games post covid, or since, and it goes without saying, "I feared the worst".
... until yesterday, when he came almost bounding up the stairs, looking fit and well, strong enough for a quick handshake, a smiley exchange of "Good to see you buddy", and continuing his trek higher up towards the back.
No idea whether this was a one off, or whether he's continued with his ST.
Now, I appreciate he could have spent post-covid deliberately avoiding me.  Maybe used that as a perfect excuse for changing ST seats.  Who knows... and who cares.
The f***** is alive and well, and seeing him, even for 7 seconds, left me feeling a little warm and fuzzy inside.
The game didn't spoil my mood, as I'm a massive fan of trying to keep events in perspective!

OK, how about "we learned that Adams isn't Bob Malcolm"?

All the chat about subs, reffing, late goals, fine...I get it.
For me though the takeaway is that it was another dull as muck afternoon. If we win, I'll wear it, when we don't though...I just start thinking about what could have done instead and I wonder why I'm bothering.

You gone & jinxed us now 😲

I was born 9 months after my Dad went. Strange that.

Shameful, people on here go on about putting the youngsters in and this is how we treat one of our own , sections of our fan base make me sick

I think you're in danger of diasppearing up your own chuff mate.
Your athletics analogy is too convoluted for me to cope with, I'm afraid. My best guess is that you're saying my rejection of xG means I'd approve of ruining athletics if they ruined athletics because the new style ruined athletics would be official? Have a lie down.
I can at least see where youre going with the Premium bonds bit, but Ernie is amenable (just) to statistical evaluation and it's the same every time. Football isn't like that.
xG can put a statistical veneer on the "how did he miss that" chats that happen after every game. It can't tell you a deal beyond that...certainly not compared to points won.

Illustrating nicely why xG is of limited interest. We got 6 points more than them, everything else is a sideshow.

1 point from 9 for Posh? 
If we went on that run it'd be Warne Out, board out, tits out on here.
Lots of slips, twists and turns to come. 

If you like.
I should add in my defence that I'm swayed towards preferring points return over xG because that's what they use to construct the actual league table with.
Seems more important to me somehow, but you do you brother.
