Mayor starts. O'Conner keeps his place.

Probably as good a line up as we can get.

[Keith]

Up front is interesting. Three really young lads, but bags of skill and confidence. Let's hope they can pull something out of the bag tonight.

[Keith]

owwww!!!

Phillips one-on-one in the second minute, well saved but probably should have done better. Really blistering opening!

[Keith]

Excellent first thirty minutes. Mayor had a decent half-chance.

Gibbo was down for a long time, but back on the pitch now.

[Keith]

Superb penalty save!!!

It looked like a penalty to me.

[Potted Shrimp]

I wish the club would sort the issues with the empty seats in the main stand out.

It looks half empty.

[Keith]

Must admit, I thought the second shout for a penalty, was one, but not given.

[Keith]

YES!!!!!!!!!!

Weir with a superb shot!!!

[AndyReifman]

Get in! Usually we're the ones getting scored on just before half.

[Vinny]

Watching the replay of the 'penalty' it looks to me like Ant O'Connor gets a toe on the ball first - NOT A PENALTY in my opinion, and strongly contested by AC. Brilliant save by Rippers (AGAIN!!!). Great game, great build-up for the goal. Adam Mayor is having an awesome match. COYS!!!

[Keith]

Just had a half-time look at the Derby fans forum. They reckon we're rubbish and they should be winning 0-4 or more!


Most of them appear to have overlooked the one-on-one in the first minute and Mayor's decent chance, both saved, and us getting a superb goal, whereas, they've only really had one chance, and it was well saved from the penalty spot.

More of the same in the second half please!

[Keith]

WOW!
Ripley with a second penalty save!!!

Superb!

[Keith]

Also, big 'WELL DONE' to O'Connor who beat their lad to the rebound, which considering he had a head-start was excellent.

[Keith]

Big deflection for the Derby goal.

[Keith]

Watts off for Connolly.

Derby better this half.

[Keith]

Stockton on for Phillips

[Keith]

Wow, superb ball through for their forward, who placed it just wide when one-on-one.

Derby well on top for most of the second half.

[Keith]

A couple of decent moves for us.

How was that not a red card? Their lad wiped Connolly out, while he was running at full speed. Surely that makes it dangerous play?

[Keith]

And then Connolly wasn't allowed back on the pitch for the period of attack after the free-kick.

[Keith]

Fane on for Mayor

[Keith]

Ref was excellent in the first half. Bloody useless in the second. Fane clearly plays the ball, but they get a dangerous free-kick.

[Keith]

Excellent point. A fantastic display. We will need a lot of rest before Friday, because everyone has put in a shift tonight.

[Old Man Kensey]

Excellent tonight. Great effort.

[Angler1]

Every player was outstanding tonight , well done to the team ,manager and fans etc.
