Ravanelli will score today. Even more reason we need to get a few ourselves. Hopefully this is one of those games where we're atrocious for the first 15min then take control and score at will.

Couple more from the lads after cocoa time what you reckon??

We're 3rd again! But the next couple of games are tricky. We're now more than 1/3 of the way through the season, and if we keep on like this we'll get 69 points which would be not bad at all - good enough for Europe for sure.

-- Anonymous, November 24, 2001

Yes I will take the 3 points, however we should batter teams like Derby. Another mediochre performance, I am pleased at the points, but disappointed at how they were achieved. It does not give my stress levels any relief.

-- Anonymous, November 24, 2001

Was driving back from Huntingdon Races when Shearer scored the pen. Yelled all the way down the A1. Great to read match thread.

It's supposed to be one of the main games on The Premiership tonight. Didn't sound like a classic, but 3rd place is canny.

-- Anonymous, November 24, 2001


Just got back from the match. Just a few comments:

Bellamy and Solano were the only good outfield players. The rest had shades of goodness, but a mostly bad. Robert was awful apart from a couple of runs - one which won us the penalty. Hughes did OK but distribution was pretty bad.

Given was easily man of the match, some class saves kept us in it in the first few minutes, especially a one on one. He should take all the credit, if we'd let in any goals in the first few minutes it was Rob Lee's fault, who was caught in posession at least five times in the first 10 minutes.

Overall, we could have done so much more - and perhaps should have with the chances we had, on another day we could have scored about 5, but Derby could so easily have scored 5 as well. Maybe a bit harsh on Derby that we won, but they missed a penalty, so you would have to point at that.

Also thought that neither of the penalties were the correct decision, I thought Robert was outside the box, and O'Brien won the ball.

I'll take a 1-0 though, three points is three points, hopefully we're saving the goals for Ipswich on Tuesday.

-- Anonymous, November 24, 2001


Sorry, just realised what I've posted. O'Brien won the ball on a separate challenge, which the referee initially gave a penalty for, before changing his mind.

The actual Derby pen appeared to be handball by Ravanelli just before he entered the box. The actual challenge was a foul.

Just clear that one up :)
