Igorwasking Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 I don’t normally blame officials - but that ref has cost us at least 1 point. I am not even sure Waggy should have been sent off. He played the ball but his foot bounced off the top of the ball and as a result he caught the player. I don’t think it was reckless or malicious. And the foul in the middle and all the added time. I’m livid. I am a peaceful man - but if I saw that ref now I would knock him spark out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brady1993 Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 Just now, Nuwtfly said: The sending off obviously massively changed the game, but I don't think we played all that well today. Didn't come anywhere near replicating the Swansea performance in the opening stages of the game, and largely looked quite similar to how we looked under Cocu this season, and indeed through many of Rooney's first few games. Sending off is obviously the major turning point, but it wasn't a good performance. I'd agree about the opening stages that we didn't look as lively and i suspect that was the change back to a 4231 which caused it. After that though we battled well with 10 and did more than enough (especially after the break) to secure a point on most days. Ref had other ideas.

1967Ram Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 Very good performance from ten men. Difficult to understand why the Ref didn't give an obvious foul on Sibley or why he played so much injury time over and above what was allotted. I don't think it's sensible to make a substitution so late either. But Waghorn is most to blame for the defeat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RadioactiveWaste Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 I think Waghorn will be relieved the ref decided he wanted to be the real villain of the piece. 11 v 11 we win that, I'm sure. 10 v 11 we certainly didn't deserve to lose. Onwards, and probably the return of Tom Lawrence next match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Tram Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 I hope Rooney hates the feeling of losing ... and never lets it happen again ... and Derby wins every game for the next gazillion years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 Did well to nullify Preston for 70+ mins after a certain red card. Can't help but think Wayne could have changed things earlier and taken the game to them. Shinnie or Knight off for Ibe or Sibley (earlier). Lots of industry and perhaps we were trying to grind out a draw but Preston were pretty open to be got at. Sure things would have been different if not for the red. Can blame poor individual reffing decisions but for me we should have gone for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramos Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 Take that desire into the brum game - without a no need red card challenge and we will win. People who are saying o we can’t score etc a) clearly didn’t understand the context of that match and b) obviously are blind to how well and how much effort all the players are putting in. In the second half with ten men we were taking the ball off them all over the park, when we got into the final third it was clear to see we were missing that extra man. Another day with 11 men we would have won that. Performance wise there is so much for us to build on. Gut wrenching but it’s not like in games under cocu for me where we were losing and you could barley pick out a player who played well bar Jason knight for his energy.

We need investment granted, however this team will not get relegated. I do caveat that, it is dependent on us not getting refs like today's ?

Srg Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 Derby finding new and inventive ways to ruin Christmas since 1884. Worst part? Preston were awful. Deserved nothing. Barely an attack in anger in 70 mins against 10 men. Waghorn should be ashamed and shouldn’t be involved for the foreseeable - he’s not indispensable enough to need him.

If he rightly blows the whistle there, we take 30 seconds to take it, and we have no danger until the full time whistle. The ref didn’t give a foul. They didn’t just stroll up and score there was waves of play between it. Yes it was a foul and yes we should have had the FK and launched it into the corner but we still shouldn’t be allowing them to score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparkle Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 That’s incredibly harsh on Derby the referee clearly did not want us to do well - it’s like an EFL conspiracy isn’t it four pull backs by fisher should equal four yellow cards and fouls against us not given in most of the game Richards our MoM who did some fantastic work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are going down if we do not invest in this squad, we CANNOT score goals Did you watch the game glass half empty? We almost held on for a draw with 10 and no help from a crap ref. Granted we could do with another striker in January and I'm sure Rooney knows who he wants. There's no way we're going down based on the last 7 games.

The point is, with a competent ref we're never even in a position to do any defending there. With a competent ref, it's game over right there. We defended for 70 minutes and only conceded to a long shot because of poo refereeing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The circumstances just mean a lot of folks are peed off with the ref right at the end not giving the foul on Sibley and playing well over the five minutes. Obviously overall waghorn getting sent off contributed more, but the way it played out.......grizzle........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
