I'd stay off twitter then , this place is a haven of reasoned opinion in comparison
Haha! I bet. I've never been on that platform but I have had binges on most others; slowly barring myself from using any of them. Life definitely feels sweeter that way. This may be the only one that I'll continue to dip my toe into.

That's football. But a cock-up of Chris Brass proportions hasn't come as totally unexpected. We've rode our luck on several occasions...What is more concerning is defending from corners....Charlton scored from a corner, (conceded when there was no danger, then no one picking up there bloke). Norwich had a couple of free headers from corners, (luckily off target). Last night, Morris used our CB has a ladder which the ref should have picked up, but if we had had that ruled out for us there'd have been some pelters on here.

Given the players we have missing, which are big misses, I'm of the view that we are doing more than OK in the circumstances, well done lads, Sergei and team :1980_boogie_down:

No doubt about it. The lads and Sergj are doing wonders. Still a shame we dropped 2 points vs Charlton and 1 vs Derby due to turning off at the wrong moments. That's the difference between being in the top 6 and not being in the top 6!
 
He’s not just beaten Ajayi to the ball, two hands on his back to push himself height enough to get that connection. Preventing the defender from challenging and gaining a height advantage.

Might not have been a foul in 1776 but it is by today’s standards.

I think you are right, under today's usual administering most ref's would have called a foul. However, on a personal level I like to see that sort of aggressive play, adds to the game IMO, same with hard tackles.

The referee also missed the wrestling by Sanderson on Slater for that goal.
 
Pandur can't sit on his line in that instance whether he tries to take charge of the situation or simply act as the plan B. He did try to clear it but he both misjudged it, and slipped. He's at fault for it. Ajayi does have more options though... At the point Pandur removed himself as a passing option he could have put the ball out for a throw in, he could have touched it wide for Pandur to run onto and then clear, he could at the very least have held his ground and got in the way of the attacker, but he just stepped out of the way and left it wide open to run onto. He wasn't aware he had a man closing it down is the crux of the issue, but to be fair to both of them when that ball comes through there's initially no Derby player anywhere near it - which also makes the whole thing a lot worse when you watch it back.

If Ajayi does play it safe and puts it out for a throw in there's no way Derby can take that quickly enough to cause us a direct problem. They took loads of long throws all night and we dealt with them pretty well. It's just one of those unfortunate things that we move on from, but Ajayi putting that out for a throw in isn't bonkers. What happened was definitely more bonkers. It's a combination of poor judgement from Pandur and poor awareness from Ajayi.
And possibly the condition of the playing surface as well.
