I hate to play the 'I go to games' etc card, but I think a few on here and elsewhere forget where and who we are. All I can say is that the general mood in the ground and after the game was that this was good performance, a decent result and that under Evans we are going in the right direction.Derby are probably the best team in this division and were a class above us, but we fought, we tried, we gave it everything and we played some good football and deserved at least the point we got. I assume after the Cellino climb down that most listers will have seen the game on TV so I will keep it brief. We went a goal down, if not against the run of play (only ten minutes gone) certainly a goal from nothing. We stood still, hands in the air (not sure why we were complaining) as one of theirs literally walked through the defence as we fell at his feet and let him put one in.Our heads did not drop for long and we continued to take the game to them and we got our reward, albeit a dodgy goal in some ways. A freekick into the box, their keeper ran out and flapped at it, Byram (?) took it round the keeper and hit a cross that was blocked and then another cross was met by the backpedalling keeper who punched it to Bamba (at fault for their goal according to text I got) and he hit it home.Then came the best bit of the game, a lovely ball by Cook was met by Byram who put in a great cross and the much maligned Wood rose and met it beautifully and headed it back past the keeper and into the net.So used to defeat / disappointment was I that I turned to my mate and said 'I hope we do not lose now' - Derby looked better than us throughout in many ways and we feared that Martin and Ince would both score. In the end we could not hold on and the (almost) inevitable happened as Ince scored for them We managed to keep it to 2 2 and the final whistle was met with applause.Evans again tried to do his best by making changes when needed.Ok a home draw is not the best result in the world but given where we are and where Derby are the fans at the game went home happyNeed to get 3 points on Saturday v MK Dons and this will have been a good week - 5 points out of 9
