    Sounded like we didn't really deserve to win it BUT having taken the lead, Derby didn't deserve anything from the game as they offered nothing going forward.

    Very frustrating

    Full time. Not a terrible result overall, we've at least strengthened our hold on a playoff playoff spot this weekend, but we're going to need some help from other quarters to make the autos.

    Ruddy cost us an important 2 points today. Real shame. Derby offered almost nothing. They upped the intensity a bit second half but once RUddy spilled the ball, they sat back. We had the chances to go and get a second but just too profligate in front of goal today.

    that was a dire goal to concede and we should have put this one away long before the smurf equalised. Oh well. It's not a loss. OTBC

    Big JR has saved us many times, awful mistake but he's human FFS, he's allowed an odd mistake!

    No disaster, just a shame.

    Midfield was a bit to far from the defence for me for the outlet ball. Derby will feel they played very well, I don't think we can say the same. We were OK.

    Fecking gutted, feel sorry for Ruddy but that was the mother of all **** ups worse than Gunn's infamous air kick and it has probably cost us an auto spot. Gutted, totally and utterly fecking gutted ! :angry:

    Not denying that, just said it was a real shame and he did cost us the 2 points.

    Pretty sure Ruddy's left hand was being held. He still should have dealt with it better but I'm sure he was fouled.

    My disappointment was how we went into our shell again in the second half until they scored. My other complaint is how long it took to get Hooper on. 15 minutes wasn't enough. Really disappointing and an auto spot is going to be very difficult after today's results.

    No one mistake will cost us an auto-spot and if we do finish two points outside the top two it won't be Ruddy's fault. Having said that, I was extremely annoyed when the goal went in and felt Derby offered nothing at all going forward. We should have won the game comfortably but we'll beat Huddersfield on Tuesday if we play the same way and I still feel we stand a very good chance of catching second.

    Not saying you're necessarily wrong, but what? We're literally one win off second with NINE games still to play...

    Its not going to be very difficult at all. Three points in nine games is really very similar to the 1 point in 9 games.

    Its hardly a mountain to climb.

    No, it is still possible, but we now depend on the four teams above us dropping points. That still leaves me disappointed

    Derby came with no recognised strikers and had lost two of their last three games. This should have been three points, but we seem to shoot ourselves in the foot when the opposing team is there for the taking. Forget automatic place now. On to Huddersfield - if we don't win there then we may even slip out of top six
