Not really - an unfortunate (and from what I've read, harsh) sending off has turned the game.

Now behave and take that rod outta here!

We're down to 10 men FFS. We've had to Re shape the formation, what do you expect against a team like Derby? Idiot

Surely even with 10 men the defence is the same?

Oh you read my location and assume I'm a tractor boy...... BTW....30 years a royals fan....born, bred and schooled in Reading..

I will be gutted if we lose this one........just reflecting on all the europhia after the Ipswich win and deadline day investment......bookies slashing odds for promotion from 25/1 to 9/1.........

[royal_cornwall]

oxf*rd unforgivable Sa, pissed right off.

Then acknowledge with 10 men it's never going to be normal service. 30 years you should know better

Bit of an odd statement considering we have had 12 shots to Derby's 10, as we enter injury time, even with only 10 men? The home team having more shots that the away team seems pretty "normal" to me?

[Esteban]

Should have finished 0-0. Bond could have saved that. Derby only had that and one half chance.

Sa the villain today. Think we would have won that if he doesn't get sent off. We can put that right against Bristol City.

Agreed The red card cost us at least a point.

[BarrowBoyBouch]

Playing with 10 men.....they often say its harder for the team with 11......I was at the mad stad last December when Watford mugged us with 10 men...... I agree that Sa sending off has affected the end result. Tis a long season........next up a juicy one at Bristol........Urzzzzzzzz

[CountryRoyal]

Harsh. Will post later when I've calmed down.

First impressions... I don't think we were poor tonight. Red card was key, Derby were so comfortable while it was 0-0 in the second half as Vydra was very isolated and we couldn't put any pressure on against a team of Derby's quality. They just had to wait for their chance and they stuck it away.

Could've done with GMac a bit earlier though.

[Winchester Royal]

Inevitable. We weren't in the game in the second half. Our attempts were largely limited to pot shots, and Bond should have saved their goal.

Attacks in the first half broke down because the players involved were so bunched together they couldn't get the passing right, but that will come with time and experience of playing with each other.

Looks like Friday night's bubble has just been burst...

[DaddyKuhl]

It was only a matter of time before we scored had Sa not got sent off. Didn't see the Sa red, but hopefully he has learned a lesson about English football... ie defenders trying to wind you up. Strange subs though.

[RichTea94]

It sounded like we were on top for most of the first half against one of the best teams in the division who are going for broke for promotion and have spent accordingly.

Obviously the red changed that and I would have taken a point.

Disappointing result, but we are still playing well.

[3points]

Not sure it was coincidental that as soon as Quinn was taken off and replaced by HRK, they poured through our left hand side leaving Ince basically unchallenged. I think Quinn would have been much closer.

Dellor mouthing off about Bond should have saved it. Think that might be a bit harsh, but difficult for me to tell as it was down the far end from my position
