Whitey Grandad

Why haven’t you shown the sequence before that freeze-frame? That would have shown Ramsdale pushing Mateta first. He was more worried about getting Mateta out of the way than he was about meeting the cross. Had he concentrated on that and then been blocked then he wouldn’t have had a much stronger case.

Ramsdale came out and pushed Mateta who pushed back. It should not have been Ramsdale who was trying to get the opponent out of his way. One of his colleagues should have done it. If you think it was a foul on Ramsdale then you also have to consider that it was a foul on Mateta. Six of one and half a dozen of the other I’m afraid.

Totally different circumstances and different referees.

I can see why it wasn’t given as a foul and why VAR didn’t overrule. If the ref had given it as a foul they wouldn’t have overruled that either. Ramsdale needed protection.

So what’s your point?

Three central defenders innit.

It was a pass.

That does appear to be the case.

Nothing to do with Derby but if we wanted to have more points then we should have made the change earlier.

Which is why we should have made the change earlier. But we didn’t.

We never needed one. Set pieces were not part of the plan.

We’re not used to being in such situations.

The truth may not fit your agenda. The result is what matters here.

You do realise that these ads are targeted?

Er, no. AA found space at the near post and called for the ball. KWP picked him out. AA instantly controlled the ball and picked out Dibling.

Your prejudice is affecting what you see. It was a well worked goal and AA played his full part in it.

Don’t be such a tit.

That’s not what I saw.

Set up our goal?

He needs help up front. He can't do much on his own. What matters now is where we go from here, not how we got here.

Although that "worst goalkeeper in the division" is one of the reasons that we got into the playoffs.

So he blazed the ball over the bar instead. Yes, it was a proper game of football at last.

Tomorrow?

It was a straightforward question. A straightforward answer would not have been difficult.

He would have been taken out before he got anywhere near their penalty area.
