Quality and finishing was the difference today

My View/Opinion

By Annis Abraham

” QUALITY AND FINISHING WAS THE DIFFERENCE TODAY ”

For me the Quality was the difference today and Derby had that, we never simple, we’ve virtually got rid off all ours and we never go anywhere without it.

If we don’t bring in quality players Coke Jan then crowds will disappear more

DERBY COUNTY 2 CARDIFF CITY 0

Marshall, Peltier, Malone, Morrison, Connolly, Whittingham, Ralls, Dikgacoi, Noone, Mason, Jones
Subs: Manga, John, Tamas, Moore, O’Keefe, Kennedy

Crowd 29,526
Over a 1,000 Cardiff fans travelled to Derby, in high hopes after City beating Reading convincingly and Derby losing to Forest.

City fans were in full voice and backing the team from the minute the team ran out.

With in minutes Marshall had to make a one handed save.
Then in the 10th min Marshall made another good save.
15th min Another good save by Marshall.

24th min Craig Noone had a shot straight at their goalie in a one on one and had time to take it,

City were playing counter attack football and did make a few good chances, but the quality up front was not there.

Just before half-time Marshall made another good save

Possession 79% Derby 21% City.

Half-time Derby 0 City 0

Marshall mistake leads to a corner that Derby nearly scored from, if it weren’t for Craig Noone clearing off the line in the 1st minute of the second half.

55th min a shot from Derby straight past Marshall 1-0 Derby.

Marshall minutes later another save

62nd min Ameobi came on for Mason and we started to put some good attacks together.

75th min Derby shit saved by Marshall then shot from a rebound 2-0 Derby.

My man of the match DAVID MARSHALL.:

FOR ME QUALITY AND FINISHING WAS THE DIFFERANCE

Up next Burnley home next Saturday.
