Derby are a good side and they feared us.

I have seen Derby a few times live on TV this season and they have been excellent and probably one of the best sides in the League. I felt they were more likely to cause us problems than Leeds. They have a very strong experienced squad (though perhaps a bit ageing) with a good manager. The fact that they came here to park the bus and stop us playing, their only ambition being to hope to nick a win at the end - which they nearly did- shows how far we have come in 12 months. Ok, the game was disappointing and we have played better, but I would have settled for 4 points from 6 from the 2 games this week and I think Warnock would have too.

7 from 9 against Leeds, Derby and Sunderland is a testament to just how well we've done!

Just seen that Leeds were thumped by Wednesday today so that shows the point against them wasn't that bad either. With the exception of Middlesbro and Norwich we have played all of the sides I would expect to be in top ten this season and very few of those in the bottom ten.
