Ruud Aralliss Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 Yeah, an enjoyable game. Was clear it was going to be quite open early on. First half they gave us enough time to play some nice football. Should’ve buried them really, love to play them every week. Shout out to the whole team! I want to single certain players for moments of magic, but will resist as the whole team were great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waffle Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 He’s not really been mentioned in here tonight but Byrne was immense off the ball tonight. He received quite a lot of praise from the West Stand for his efforts. Also really like the look of Stretton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could have made a difference in the stand instead of at home. The crowd was again fantastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe even in a couple years he could easily push Jim smith and cloughy at the top. A true gentleman and legend I loved hearing him say in his interview after the game that he intends to bring those made redundant back to the club when the new owners are here.

I am extremely impressed with just how much a diplomat and a decent person Wayne Rooney is. I think that somebody mentioned his humble upbringing - this is very likely the reason he so readily empathises with others who are not so fortunate. Top man - may he be here for many years.

LincsRam Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 Very impressed tonight, long way to go but the fight back is on. We played very well and you would have thought we were the team coming into this on the back of 3 good wins, not reading. As far as I can remember they had 2 good chances with one a great save from Allsop and the other a header wide, apart from that it was all Derby. Have you noticed the defence the last few games, although we have moments of fannying about at the back it is about 10% of what it was last season and makes it much more comfortable for us, we always make some mistakes and its better to make them in midfield then by the goalie. The ref had a mare, I think this is pretty much standard against us now, my father is neutral and even he asked me if the ref was blind as he got most of the big decisions wrong. We made a good Reading side look very ordinary tonight, I still believe ? COYR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The crowd was again fantastic. I live over 100 miles from Derby these days and although I've been to the odd evening game, the lack of a late train does it for me I'm afraid, (21:00 departure is pathetic). It was an observation rather than a criticism and well done to all who made the effort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ram59 Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 Just got back home and seen the 'handball' on sky sports news, his arm is definitely sticking out and even the sky presenter thought so. The Morrison 'foul' just before also seemed a nailed on free kick and yellow card, but they didn't show that one. Also how on earth was the late free kick against Buchanan enough to warrant a yellow, apart from him being in a white shirt? That's now 2 wins against Stoke and Reading, despite awful refereeing.

angieram Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 Don't watch Quest tonight, they showed every Reading attack and missed out loads of ours. Thought our fans were magnificent tonight, love it! The referee, less so. ?♀️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He booked Lawrence for kicking the ball away, not Buchanan, at least that is what I thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was honestly surreal at times watching him; 2 similar challenges a couple minutes apart and one wouldnt be a foul and one would get a yellow. Inconsistent is what I'd say if I was feeling cool headed and generous. Incompetent feels more accurate though. Personally I'd like to have a had a neutral opinion on him because it felt like we certainly an unfair amount go against us but I don't know how much of that is my own bias. The linos were just as bad, particularly the dolt running the East Stand line. Three times in the first half it was as though he'd dozed off, suddenly remembered his role by which time he was at least 5 yards behind play. Yet 3 times he gave the decision to Reading.

angieram Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 Just on attendances, I think a few were unable to travel due to fuel shortages. The traffic was dire too. Although there was a huge queue outside the ticket office at 7 pm. I hope you were all in there buying tickets for tonight and Saturday, and not wanting to relocate your season tickets! ?

nick_d Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 Fozzy’s goal - classic Stevie Howard, slow motion headed loop over the goalie and defence into the top far corner. Right in front of me - LOVED IT! Crap ref and linesmen, amazing home team. COYR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Srg Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 Thought Allsop had a good night. Like many, I wasn’t happy to see his name on the team sheet but he saved everything (mostly routine bar one or two) and even caught a couple of things too. Stearman worries me a little. Although not sure if he improved second half or I wasn’t as nervous about him because he was further away from me in the South Stand. Seems slow to move his feet and looked a liability. Don’t think it was a coincidence the goal came from the first time Forsyth used his acre of space to actually dribble forward rather than come back. He needed to do that more often to keep the defence honest. Midfield did a decent job of rotating deep to fetch the ball from the defence which was good. Trying to play out from the back with our personnel is not fun but they made the best of it by helping out - we did still manage one huge calamity after half time. Stretton looked decent but needs a big stint in the weight room. Reading do have some quick defenders which didn’t help though. I am not one for conspiracy theories but after the red card and injury time penalty last game and now we have an unbelievably bad referee and linesman this game it doesn’t half make you wonder. The linesman missed some shockers, especially the ball being miles out first half under his nose. The referee didn’t give a blatant foul on Ravel on the edge of the box, a blatant penalty for handball, seemed to not bother booking them for the same thing Stearman got booked for, then booked Buchanan for his first foul. Just a baffling display of biased ineptitude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
