Sounds like this was not a game for the flair players seeing as all of ours were subbed.

Think the team lacked the edge of the last two matches

and Kuqi has been a massive difference, leading the line.

We are the first team to come away with anything from Swansea this season, and Clough himself said he`d be delighted if we can go into the two week break unbeaten. He`s got his wish as the Rams battled for a valuable point!

It sounded on the radio that wihtout the long ball outlet of Kuqi Swansea were pretty ocntent to press up the field and leave our strikers 1 on 1 with the defenders when the big ball came in.

The flair players didit hae the time to do much and as a result we had to defend and try to break.

A draw is agood result at Swansea - how many would have taken that before kick off.

Commons going off sounded like there was trouble in the camp - however Clough on the radio didint slate him just said he had a sore back afte the warm up and that Kris said he felt ill at half time. He didnt look too mobile so he took him off to give fresh legs in the team. Maybe Clough's head shake (when he came off) was becasue Commons not telling him he was ill before the game or something like that.

Happy with a 0-0.

Pity we couldnt do it again but this pass and move hi-tempo style of play is very tiring on the players. Players do look tired at the end of games, and we tend to fade a bit after 75 mins. Today was just asking a bit too much.

But we did have a plan B with Pearson and Pringle, and given our small squad we must be satisfied to have got a point.

Delighted with a point given their 100% home record prior to meeting the mighty Rams.

It's great going in to games believing that at least we've got a chance, far too often in recent times it's been more a case of hoping that we might sneak something rather than deserving something.

Swans DCFC

Is there another thread for this ? Could'nt find one ?

Good result IMO. Keeps the momentum flowing and Swansea had won all their home games before they'd hit us. I'm feeling much more positive now about our prospects than say, after the 2-0 defeat at Hull... something has happened in the dressing room and we're displaying more steel and finesse. Plus obviously Bueno is a find and Kuqi has something to prove... and yep, Commons is uber class when he's actually playing .

PNE and Donny coming up.. don't wanna get ahead and jinx things but these are the games........
