I don't think we came for a draw as Clement threw on Weimann in the end to go for the win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rev Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 Just got back, really enjoyed the game, could have justified any result really. They're just a little bit better than us, not much but enough. I'm looking forward to playing them again next season, they'll be a decent barometer of progress. Great support today from the travelling fans, keep the faith!

plymouthram Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 We have this knack of meeting teams who are on good form. That's another piece of luck you need to finish in the promotion position at the end of the season. Even Boro's 2nd goal looked offside, but it wouldn't have altered the final result. I am ever optimistic this season, I feel Hull, Burnley, Brighton and the other chasing pack are not strong enough to keep up with Derby and Boro, so its down to us and them to see who as the best second half of the season. Well done Mr Karanka and your team today and as for the Rams, avoid key players getting injured and get more luck in our remaining matches and you never know we could still take the title.

Cracking set of fans by the way, very vocal First half we had a few chances but the final shot either went out for a throw in or you managed to get something in the way. Second half as it went on our attacks became less and less to the point where we ended up losing the ball before we got it near the penalty area. I had a good day out. Deep down I didn't think we'd win but I didn't think we'd beat Hull. I always think it's how the team reacts to a loss the next game that is the key to getting out of this league. Anyway well done. I'm sure your going up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a rival promotion watch thread in which you, as a respectful and honest guest are more than welcome to come and give a MFC perspective on. In all honesty, it'd be a shame to not have rival outlook from you for the rest of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ovis aries Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 In 68/69,after 25 games we had 35pts, the equivalent today of 47pts, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rev Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 While at the game, I thought Keogh was immense, particularly that great block he made on the edge of the box. However, watching their 1st, why doesn't he step in front of Adomah and block the pass, he had plenty of time to, but instead stands to his side appealing for offside. Keogh must have thought he'd be offside regardless, so why wave him through? Maybe I'm being harsh, but it doesn't look good on the highlights!

Rammy1 Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 Thought the boro fans today were excellent. Great atmosphere. We were second best today and the best team won. We couldn't hold the ball at all. Great derby support today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a bad trait a few of our players have that needs ironing out quickly. One of the first things you learn as a kid is play to the whistle, nothing frustrates me more than seeing them stop waving hands in the air.

Not just Derby and some teams are even worse. Play the game first!!! Watched Citeh v Watford and Aguero was so busy appealing for a penalty for a "foul" on someone else he missed the chance to get a header on goal. 10 mins before that Mangala was running after Ighalo with one hand in the air. Are players now being asked to referee? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rammy1 Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 Christie is playing ado ah on side. Keogh did his job second goal defo offside best team won though. The goal was coming. U must admit. Leadbitter ran the show. Great player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are players now being asked to referee? If a defender is done for pace and is trying to sway a decision you can see why some do it. But a lot of the time if they played to the whistle they could get in position and make a challenge. It's a gamble that doesn't always pay off, I know what I'd be coaching my players anyway.

Rev Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 Here's 2 screen grabs to illustrate my point Just after the ball is released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rev Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 The next shot, with Keogh already appealing. Only one place he was putting that pass, and one man capable of stopping it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He assumed that Christie was keeping the line but he was behind you, Keogh. 'Pantomime' goal! Boro play their game in hand against Blackburn on Feb 16th so a while before that takes effect on the table. It is their fifth league game from now.

Great support today from the travelling fans, keep the faith! I like this summary. It's been a tough afternoon but we have definitely made progress from the games against Boro last season, all be it not quite enough (yet!) Travelling fans were good, but so were their fans. @Stripperg-ram asked about Martin - the foul he had the problem with was blatant. He was being held by both arms but he shouldn't have taken the law into his own hands as he did. He let himself down a bit there and I expect him to behave better as our captain. Weather was awful on the journeys and parking rubbish - all that spare land and no car parks. Need to take some tips from the employers on Pride Park!
