I was saying to me mate next to me at the game that if Derby scored once they would score again. It felt that way.

I missed all the football today. Can't believe it's 22:22. It's always miserable to blow a 2-0 lead but you know the cliche! I feel your pain. I'm impressed with Derby tbh. What a weird season and Championship though!

[Rjk]

draw a good result for us

Other game ended Stoke 1 - 2 Preston

Good fightback by Derby and a good outcome for us.

I honestly believe we would not be in the position we are had we had Junior still with us.

I certainly would be more optimistic of our chances of survival if he was.

I disagree he would have the odd decent game or two then have quite a few games where he was average

In our position, average would be a distinct improvement.

the stoke goal.

Wow! Legit 40 yarder.

Wow! Legit 40 yarder.

still rising when it hit the back of the net too

I can't believe we didn't offer him a one-year deal. Honest, hard-working, tricky, and capable of magic occasionally. A well above average player we could have retained for next to nothing.

Spot on 👍

Legs on their way out, sadly

He may not be the player he once was but Junior off the bench to hold it up when defending a lead and get free kicks, run at and commit the defence or score a worldy to snatch the points.

Who else do we have with that in their locker?

I concur, a one year contract could and should have been offered.

Poor business decisions by non-football people at the start of the season could be very costly.

I agree with this. Who? It's scary. When he was released I didn't think for one minute we'd not have anyone who can conjure up a goal from nothing on a regular basis. I'd be interested to see how many free-kicks we've earned in scoring positions this season.

if we kept him on (and he was probably on a big wage) then we aren't suddenly transformed into a promotion winning side (he has scored 3 times for reading) yes he might have produced the odd flash of brilliance as a reminder of yesteryear, but he wasn't that good in the last couple of seasons for us and he would be blocking game time for the likes of Davies or Evans.

if it made the difference between finishing 18th or 15th with less game time for the ones being brought through would it be worth the wage for a year?
