Lovely cross on to mcGoldrick's head at Anfield which should have been the winner.

He went to Cardiff,
He took them to the Prem.
He came to Derby,
He'll do the same again.
He won't eat cake
But he loves a meringue
His name's Nathaniel

And it's all the fault of their Clubs fans no doubt - cos they should stop their owner behaving in such a heinous manner?! ? 
Many is the time I phoned Mel up and said 'Mel, schMel pay your taxes like a good boy'!  Apparently, it's what all businesses and football clubs do. Why do they never get into trouble because of their owner being incompetent?!
Some of the unbelievable crap they slung about might be about to hit their fan(s)!!! #schadenfreudeforChristmas

Wildsmith 8.5 (superb MOM)
Smith 7.5
Rooney 6.0
Cashin 7.5 (would have been 8  but mis-controlled ball across the box might have been punished)

Roberts  7.0
Sibley 7.0
Bird 7.0
Mendez-Laing 7.0
Knight 6.0
Hourihane 6.5
Osula 6.5
Dobbin  6.0
Collins 6.5

Thommo 6.5

Wildsmith - 8.5 MotM Stout performance; kept us in the game with 3 saves
Smith - 7 Playing out of position for the team & doing the job
Rooney - 6 Late substitution; I think he will have an impact this season.
Cashin - 7.5 Near flawless display but a mid-control allowed Liverpool in.
Forsyth - 7.0 Another sound centre-half showing 
Roberts - 7.5 Strong with flair and an eye for a good pass
Sibley - 7 Strong showing; closed them down well
Bird - 6.5 Need more from Capt Bird & needs to take chances better
Mendez-Laing - 7.5 Did lots of defensive work 
Knight - 6 late sub
Hourihane - 6 Needs to have more presence & impact
Osula - 6.5 worked hard
Dobbin - 6 Needs to improve his chance-taking ratio
Collins - 6 Worked hard for the team
McGoldrick - 7 Lively & could’ve scored with a header
Tommo - 6.0 Workmanlike late sub

FANS: 9
Proud of the players and fans who sang throughout. 1 mark docked for the Collymore thing. Let it go.

Proud, that is all

Proud, that is all

Rather have the vitriol than patronising comments if we had been plucky little Shrewsbury. Must have hit a nerve!

So funny getting that agitated by a mainly scratched together team who I'm surprised could get 9 on the bench! The vitriol towards Wildsmith funniest of all! Our whole club and ground plus £20m change cost less than just Nunez. Just think of that. 
Anyway well done Derby - every single player on the pitch plus the staff. Had a sinking feeling all day as the glory hunting Liverpool fans came out of the drain at work. Not the night for the usual very personal criticism of some of the young lads.
Very proud tonight and yet again thanks David Clowes

Can’t wait for Saturday. 

Proud of our club & fans tonight ?

Just boarded train at Crewe. 3 rams amongst the red hoardes.

Over turned 
 

I remember the end of season game the previous season which I think we won 3.1.  Our fans basically dismantled the stand, kicking in the corrugated sheeting.
