SK47 Posted Saturday at 16:49 Share Posted Saturday at 16:49 Was that the worst miss ever in a Derby shirt? Possibly ever in football? More importantly, Does anyone have the video of it so I can show my friends 🤣 i-Ram and ck- 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Day Posted Saturday at 16:58 Share Posted Saturday at 16:58 It’s a miss that you would have been gifted in a compilation on VHS by your auntie for Xmas. Luckily for Ebou they don’t make VHS anymore….ahem. Gutted for the lad though, I’m sure he would have loved to celebrate that one in front of the South Stand 🫡 r_wilcockson, Andicis, whiteroseram and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could probably recite it word for word I watched it that much as a kid. Ebou definitely would of made the cut! 🤣 whiteroseram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millenniumram Posted Saturday at 17:20 Share Posted Saturday at 17:20 I’m not sure it’s that much of an exaggeration to call it the worst miss in the history of football. Absolutely hilarious… but only because the game was won! Bless Ebou, he’ll be taking A LOT of stick for that over the rest of his career 😂 r_wilcockson 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will Hughes Hair Posted Saturday at 17:40 Share Posted Saturday at 17:40 To use the preferred parlance of the gaffer, the lad was gassed at 75 minutes but he refuses to stop. Created it from sheer grit, I honestly think he was exhausted by the time he shot. Love the boy.

SaintRam Posted Saturday at 17:41 Share Posted Saturday at 17:41 (edited) I've seen exhausted players do worse things, and often far more impactful things too. As bad as it was, and if that was the 20th minute he'd be crucified for it, we all knew his legs were jelly before that run, he'd shown signs, so at least he has an excuse. For some reason as he entered the box I lost all confidence that he was going to score, cant place why though.

He'd sprinted from penalty spot to penalty spot, winning a 50/50 header on the way, through sheer bloody mindedness in the 97th minute when he was clearly knackered well before. I look at it as a great piece of pressure release play, rather than the worse miss I've ever seen. ck-, archram, Hector was the best and 22 others 15 7 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jourdan Posted Saturday at 17:54 Share Posted Saturday at 17:54 In fairness, Ebou is not in the team to score breakaway goals. It’s not a familiar situation where you can rely on muscle memory or instincts. Had it been Mendez Laing, Harness or Jackson, they would have been more comfortable in that scenario and it’s 2-0 and game over. It’s not always easy to get right. You have an open goal and the Cardiff defence chasing back trying to create pressure or a distraction and there’s always a chance you can lose your footing trying to race clear. For me, it’s a good one to miss. It shows we are doing something right as we have the ability to force mistakes and be a threat on the break at any time.

Ewe Ram Posted Saturday at 18:09 Share Posted Saturday at 18:09 I can’t be mad with him or even laugh about it. He was absolutely knackered and I think he just somehow missed his stride. Still love him DiggerB and AlvoRam! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
May Contain Nuts Posted Saturday at 18:14 Share Posted Saturday at 18:14 I'm just assuming he was caught in two minds whether to shoot or carry on the run, it looks like a (very) heavy touch more than a genuine attempt at goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gritstone Ram Posted Saturday at 18:18 Share Posted Saturday at 18:18 Worst miss ever and then was he either completely knackered or claiming some fake injury as an excuse why he missed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
