You could see how happy the players were when they came over to us at the end . They never gave up and settled for the draw..... Great effort

Banana skin avoided.

Phew !

luckily Gray didn't stop was aware to score a great goal otherwise we'd all bemoaning how bad Chair's missed header was, he really should've scored, Gray got him off the hook, one thing we've learnt last night is that Chair ain't no good with his head 2 good chances both missed, great performance from the team especially 2nd half, Albert's persistence to win the ball back, although I thought he had an so so game, Derby singled him out played a lot of ball down that side, Austin great all round game, WILLOCK ? well the boy is sheer class, the togetherness & never say die spirit is there for all to see, The Breadman deffo getting a tune out of this team,

Love that wind up merchant !!

What was behind that though? Did I miss something during the game where they gave him some stick or is it a long running thing?

Good effort 72, yes M1 my worst road.

While you were driving down I was reading the Derby message board. Very complimentary about us, saying we are better than Bournemouth etc. Only unintentionally hilarious comment was one poster who said "take Austin, Willock and Gray out of that team and they would be nothing special." Then someone added "Yeah, if you add Chair to that list." Then I think someone else added another name. Yeah, take out half our team and apparently we are nothing special!

Just got in , that M1 is never ending. Always nicer journey when we win

[stainrodisalegend]

Fulham fans quite complimentary about us tonight, fair play:

Popped onto a Derby forum thinking they would be going on about how much they hate us. Surprisingly I found no evidence to support that. They do hate Charlie though.

Some really good comments though saying we are a very very good side, the best they've played this season, deserved to win etc..

Football fans that don't like a bit of Charlie, what has the world become.

Praise too for Charlie Austin. He has admitted he hasn't been at his best this season but thought he looked really sharp tonight. Great options now with Dykes still to come back. To think we were disappointed not to get Hugill who WBA fans think is useless...

Every new signing seems to work.

Is this Queens Park Rangers, we are watching.

i can't recognise them. We don't do this kind of thing, we'll at least for seven or eight seasons now.

Wish had been there and especially for that goal.

Andre Gray and Chris Willock take a bow.

Goal one and two for goal of the season. No doubt.

But it was coming after a very lacklustre first half display...

I was in the middle of screaming something unpleasant at Chair for not nodding that header in but Gray interrupted me. Even as Gray was casually juggling the ball I assumed ref must've blown for offside or something cos Gray looked like he didn't have a care in the world. It was only when he swivelled and hit into net I cottoned onto the fact that play was still live and he'd banged in a worldy.
Great stuff. Feel we made it far too difficult but hey-ho, it's a solid win.

There was no commentary on my stream which isn't necessarily a bad thing, like you I thought the play must have been blown dead, it was almost surreal!

[stainrodisalegend]

Chair got awarded goal of the month earlier. Might need to be a steward's after Andre's goal...

Both our goals, its not just the brilliant finish, look at the great build up, both went the full length of the pitch. Willock's goal - great pass out of defence from Stefan, Gray's goal even better pass out from the back while under pressure by Albert (who was my MoTM)
