Platypuss
Handsome Man In a tense nervous play-off final looking like a 0-0 on Wembley's dodgy pitchy, I would rather have S Hunt taking the corners and free kicks than anybody else: he must play for the last 5 minutes of extra time.


That's better.


Better still....

Fair play to Derby fans, looked almost a sellout. They're sitting in the bottom 3rd of the table and yet still have a packed out ground. I thought the amount of fans we took last night was pathetic for a team in the top 6 still with a shot at an automatic spot. No ideas on numbers that attended but in must have been at least a 1/4 of those that attended the same fixture last season. So glad I was there, It's little crackers like this that make up for some of the shite games from the last few months.

You think there were about 800 there Ben? Try >300...

BTW, sat right behind you. I think. Was it you that the stewards got pissy about with the camera?

Yep that was me, at least they didn't give a shit about us standing. I guesstimated about 400 but i'm sure your closer to the mark.

Was surprised at that. Stood up at the back all game alone (sadness I tell thee!), prime target for a steward to come over and inform me that I was killing people by standing (or something like that). Not a peep even though a steward was stood about 8-10 yards away all game.

BBC Radio Derby had the official away attendance at 504 (I think - it was definately just over 500).

I went last night and best performance this year.

In fact I would say best 4 this season have been Sheffield, Wolves, Brum and Derby all away.

I know its elsewhere on diff threads but the pitch has killed us since Dec and its good Coppell and Kitson have spoken up....

Good to come away with beer in the belly and a sore throat. It hasn't happened too much this season. Agree with Handbags and Ben, absolutely no trouble from the OB or the stewards. Stood all game and not a word was said. Spot on night all round.

Hahnemann 7 poor distribution
Rosenior 6
Harding 8 good debut - the best since Matt Robinson
Dubberry 6
Bikey 9 Legend!!
Little 8
Kebe 7.5
Tabb 8
Karacan 7
Kitson 8 So powerful
Long 7

I didn't actually go, I just like giving marks out of ten.
