2 games in a week probably exposes the shallow nature of our squad but would have taken 4 points before we kicked off on Weds. COYR

Point gained on Peterborough, Barnsley and Cardiff.
Not the best display but we kept a clean sheet and go into the break to rest some very tired legs.
It'll do for now.
 
COYR

Got to look on the bright side, clean sheet and another point chipped off the 12, that’s 33% in two games.

A hard earned point. Not unhappy.
Oh for a goal scorer.
A decent 2nd half display. #COYR

We’ve conceded the fewest goals in the Championship ?

glass half full from the comments on the game it seems we would have lost that last season.

Not the best or the worst performance ever. Stayed solid under constant pressure for 90 minutes and restricted them to very few if any real chances.
Probably the beat chance(s) of the game came to Lawrence who couldn't score with three direct shots.
Overall a well deserved and welcome point on the board.
We will be alot happier in the end than Swansea!

I'd settle for a 3-0 win but will reluctantly take 0-0 ?

It is a remarkable defensive statistic & the approach has been entirely correct. Make sure we are difficult to beat & then build out from that. 
With regard to improving our attacking threat, its obviously a tough one given the limitations of our squad. Given we know Baldock isn't likely to score many, I feel we need to give Stretton plenty of game time to see if he can develop into a regular scorer. There's also an argument for us moving to 3-5-2 when Kazim returns with Stretton or Baldock playing off him...this would keep us defensively solid but give us more & varied outlets up top.
Listening to Rosenior in the week highlighted just how hard the coaching team are working with the players to improve them & the team dynamic. I was struck by his comment about 8 of the squad achieving sprint PBs & Im guessing the coaching will also extend to decision making & situational awareness. We've already seen great strides in how we knock the ball around & our discipline...the next stage is getting so good at that we routinely cut the opposition open. That creates more chances & you'd think, more goals.

Stretton was a bit unlucky today in that we just didnt have the ball and had no control of the game apart from either side of half time. We seem to say after every game that we missed decent chances - knight and Lawrence certainly did today...I still have a hope that Stretton could get a run of goals once he gets settled into the side..he was pretty isolated today so hopefully will see more of a threat from him if he can stay in the side. 
I agree though - this isnt a new issue it was the same last year although, we are certainly creating a lot more chances this season. I havent given up hope that Stretton might be the one if he goes on one of those goalscoring runs - he always looked a natural goalscorer albeit in the 23s..I might just be clutching at straws though. Hopefully new owners in January will get a couple of experienced strikers in as a boost.

He should have worn a seat belt. His fault.
And anyway since when has it been a matter of who was most at fault? I mean Lawrence shouldn't have been driving the car, but two wrongs don't make a right , that is no defence.

If Keough had relied on employment law he would have got nothing. He relied on EFL Law which is that if the club is Derby County you are guilty until proven innocent , and even then you are guilty. 

Highest Champ gate of the day.

Just seen some of Cocu's interview with dutch paper, what a gentleman, pity keogh didnt take a leaf out of his book.

Well yes. A proper journo would have asked.. "So Richard you were the only person who was injured out of the four people you say were in the car? Why do you think that might have been? Was it perhaps because you were not wearing a seat belt?"
"Will the people who lost their jobs this week from Derby County be getting £2 million payouts after self inflicted injuries that prevent them from doing their jobs anyway?"
"Why are you coming out with this stuff now, could it have anything to do with the fact that you are worried your big windfall might be at risk if Derby go up in smoke?"
"How many games have you played in the Premier League Richard?"
"Isn't £2.3 milion rather a lot of money for a player of such limited ability , even if you had been paid for playing instead of paid for inflicting on yourself an injury of you own making?"
 
 
These are the sorts of questions I would be asking.  
 
 
 
 

You cannot buy class. 

I think he consulted Dominic Cummings for advice on what to say here.

Just seen some of Cocu's interview with dutch paper, what a gentleman, pity keogh didnt take a leaf out of his book.

Yes. 
He's not allowed to take his wand in on matchdays, as he could use it as a weapon.
He's also banned from casting spells whilst on licensed premises.
... and if he bores us all with his "I remember when King Arthur once said to me..." just once more, I swear I'll kick his bloody 4r5e!  
 
You are very welcome, my friend.  ??

Was in London on Thursday and spoke to a couple of Rapid Vienna fans in town for the West Ham game. I wished them good luck and said I was a DCFC fan. Their response was 'ahhh Wayne Rooney coach. Minus 12 points. Good result yesterday 1 0'. If it wasn't for his name and status worldwide I don't think these fans from Austria would have known anything much about our club! Says it all really.

Keogh has taken no responsibility for what happened at the Joiners Arms. He suffered an injury that was not football related, it didn't happen on a football pitch or training ground. Meaning he couldn't fulfill his contract. So the club ultimately terminating his contract, after he rejected taking a reduced wage till he was fit to play. Still can't see where the club did anything different than a lot of employers would have done.

He really hasn't done himself any favours there has he?
Before this I think there was maybe a 65/35 split, which seems to be 90/10 now.
While I did actually have some sympathy with Keogh initially every word he's said since the incident has turned me against him. Not that he cares with his massive wedge of unearned wonga.
With all the legal issues and repercussions out of the way, the way he still refuses to show any form of contrition at all and offers no apologies to the people he let down is galling.

Perhaps you are not liked full stop ?

Im no expert in employment law. However, if I was to go out drinking and put myself into a situation with my work colleagues where I ended up injured and unable to do my job for many months Im pretty sure id expect to lose my job. 

I don't agree that employers should be responsible for for nurturing and shielding of their employees outside of the working environment/hours, which that evening was.
It was not a team event.  It was a social event... voluntary... outside of working hours... outside of working jurisdiction... the aftermath of a team event, which had already ended.  (The club of course, did not order all full grown adults to immediately go home, and go to bed, at 8pm!)
If you organised a works pi$$ up, that would have no relevance to this situation, as it was not a works pi$$ up.  See above.
