3points I'll probably regret saying this, but I don't think Derby will be challenging at the end of the season. They didn't look as good as last year imho. Their style of play reminded me a lot of most of our football last season. Quite slow, not a great deal up front and Chris Martin makes Pogrebnyak look quick and mobile, and falls over more. Very unimpressed. Ipswich looked a much greater threat until the third goal went in.

Don't agree at all , they had a good away win at Preston on saturday and did a job on us last night. Also you don't rate Chris Martin , i'd swop him for sa anyday he works his arse off, is a constant threat, puts himself about, and holds the ball up very well and scores pretty regularly.

New faces, including a new coaching set up and new captain, mean things are very different, and take a little while to gel.
Sorry we only beat you by one goal rather than three, we must've gone backwards.
I resisted any childish comments about your fans, and felt that it was a bit flat all round. There is no rivalry between our 2 clubs, current or historically. The game was boring and thus affects the atmos. I don't remember the Royals being particularly innovative with chants during recent visits to Derby, or do you not travel away so don't know? If you want to have a discussion about fans, you are very welcome, though I'd suggest you picked on a club more similar to yours.
You lost to a team that didn't have to do anything special, that's more a reflection of your own progress rather than ours.

AndoverRam That's ok, I don't. Lots of opposition fans post on our boards and are welcome, makes for better and more balanced discussion. Suppose nobody usually cares enough to pay you a visit? I only bothered because I'm local and was interested in your fans thoughts.

PeterReadingborn59 Andover is nice - Derby is rather bleak - Nottingham is better that's why people move away from Derby

PeterReadingborn59RoyalBlueMoorgateRoyal So Tshibola gets, perhaps rightly, booked but then several Derby players got away with equally bad challenges before and after that. Worse still was the way that Blackman was cynically bundled over from behind when he was racing through the middle, in possession of the ball and about 30 yards from goal. Incredibly no yellow card. In contrast, later in the game, Gunter tries a soft pull back on their player just inside our half, which didn't even stop the run, and when play breaks down a bit later gets called over for a yellow! Shocking inconsistency which should be punished by the assessor!
I agree the referee was poor in stopping Derby kick Sa around the pitch, particularly on one occasion when the player just went straight through Sa from the back.
Just one thing to bear in mind is that a referee can caution a player for persistent fouls, so when a player does receive a caution it might be that he has come to the referee's attention before rather than just for the most recent foul committed.
