Four score draws in four games in L1 tonight. Nice one for anyone who put that on BTTS tonight.

And looks as though Derby missed 2 pens somehow

Won’t sniff at that. Really pleased with that performance tonight. Shame we couldn’t have taken all three points but it’s still more than decent to come away from Wycombe with that.

Yeah after a shaky first ten we played some really good stuff. Showing unreal character to keep coming back in games this season.

We are starting to look a decent team at this level now we’ve settled into it, especially away.

TC was back to his old self tonight which was pleasing and the goal will do him the world of good.

Just a shame we missed so many good opportunities but it’s a tough place in awful conditions against a streetwise and physical side so overall it completes a decent run of games and if you’d offered me top 10 at this point I think we’d have taken it.

Just annoying to concede two goals out of pretty much nothing though.

 

[Vale on Trent]

Good point away at Wycombe. However, I think we were the better team, had the better chances and can probably find ourselves unlucky to not win it.

Yeah they’ve had a ridiculous amount of penalties for and against in their games lately. Think they benefited from Accy missing a couple against them a couple of weeks ago so that’s evened out.

 

[Dan Phillips]

Ergh, how do Accrington always seem to do it.

Clear they came for the point, timewasting from the start

So comfortable at 1-0, didnt feel under treat. They offered nothing. The only header they won all night they score.

I forgot how much of a dirty team Accy are. Complaining about everything, players going down to timewaste, surprisingly enough it stopped when they.were.losing.

Based on that performance i do think Accy will be in trouble this season.

Frustrating at 1-0 we cant finish the job!

You've literally just described your own team.

 

[leedsvaliant]

Deserved point tonight and to be honest we had the better chances and should have won. I thought we looked the more likely throughout. One of those games where their 2 shots from outside the box flew in...we seem to be on the wrong end of those at the moment.

We're really growing into this league and I'm yet to see a team that is miles better than us. Ipswich better, probably Peterborough but we're holding our own really.

Frustrating really that we've dropped 6-10 points that we really should have gained.

 

[codaplenty]

Very creditable result for Fleetwood and it's an improvement on last year's result when we played the U's away. Clearly Carlos Gomez Mendes is on a hot streak of form scoring very early on in and carrying on from last Saturday. Onwards and upwards for the other Oxford team this weekend

A draw away at Morecambe. Difficult one to take having missed two penalties and converted 1 in 28 shots. There was another stone wall penalty that wasn’t given, more clear cut than the other two, but honestly I’m not sure we would’ve scored even if we had 5 penalties in the game.

Dawned on me that this will probably go down as the worst Derby County team in the club’s history. Not sure we have enough to finish in the top 6 and anything other than that will officially crown this team with the lowest finish in the club’s 138 year history.

Do many site members check out the comments on the BBC match sports page?
Always interesting read.
But I find it amusing that some matches have few comments while others hit the roof, for instance this week: -

Plymouth v Exeter - 188 comments,
Lincoln v Accrington - 3 comments,
Morecambe v Derby - 36 comments,
Oxford v Fleetwood - 0 comments,
Wycombe v Port Vale - 10 comments.
(I’m surprised so few Port Vale because there are plenty, plenty of their vocal supporters on this site.)

Most of the comments are made within hours of final whistle which usually offers a fresh and fair appraisal of game.

Bloody hell we get more Vale comments on here than BBC!

 

[Greenacres]

We have somone, going by the name of Leslie Thornton, who posts really random comments on our BBC threads aimed at Regan Hendry. I have tried to work out who they are or what team they follow, expecting it to be a rival of Raith Rovers who we signed Hendry from, but have so far drawn a blank. Does this person post comments on threads relating to your teams games...possibly negatives directed at one of your Scottish players, if that is who they are targetting rather than just your team?

 

[Si Robin]

I have only just learned of this comments section - 59 comments for our game against MK.

Pretty much as expected as well.

The regular scribes have now got used to him and no longer bite.
Fortunately he is the only one with a negative agenda.

Didn’t even know there was one to be honest.

Mostly from gloating AFC supporters.

Yeah, they don’t like Hardie for some reason.

 

[Greenacres]

Quick check of Wiki...Hardie also played for Raith, earlier in his career, so I think we have a common link. Raith are in Fife, so there is a fair chance that the abuser follows someone like Dunfermline.

 

[That Fat Centre Half]

Very creditable result for Fleetwood and it's an improvement on last year's result when we played the U's away. Clearly Carlos Gomez Mendes is on a hot streak of form scoring very early on in and carrying on from last Saturday. Onwards and upwards for the other Oxford team this weekend

See he’s been scoring a lot, is he contributing well outside of that as well?

Ah Sherlock Holmes I presume. Good detective work. I never could work out their rationale dislike of Hardie, makes a bit more sense Now.

A game of two halves. We made Fleetwood look brilliant first half. Second half we looked somewhat capable (not brilliant) and Fleetwood offered about as little as we did first half. What a dour game of football.

We are useless. I'm staggered Robinson is still in a job.

Tuesday night we had the following:

A left back playing right back.
A centre half playing left back.
A right back playing right wing.
A centre forward playing left wing.
An offensive midfielder/winger playing centre forward.
An offensive central midfielder as a holding midfielder (granted, he's played reasonably effectively this season).

Only the goalkeeper (who is a bit suspect), two centre halves and two central midfielders actually played in their correct positions.

It's hardly susprising we aren't picking up results.

Typical Scots. Sometimes united by their antagonism towards the English, but spend most time hating each other.
