From Derby's official site's match report

"The visitors equalised against the run of play but it was an outstanding strike from Adam Phillips that left Joe Wildsmith with no chance. A ball was half-cleared out to the midfielder and he hit it first time on the volley into the top left corner."


Stupid c u nts don't even know the difference between Pride Park and Oakwell

 

1) Obviously we weren’t the visitors.

2) Was it really against the run of play?

3) Was it hit first time? Could’ve sworn he took a touch and then rifled it in? Not seen the highlights back yet though so could be setting myself up for a fail here!

 

Definitely not against run of play and he absolutely took it down before hitting it

 

Chested it down and let it bounce

 

Chested it down, then shot.

 

That’s how I remembered it.

 

Thought so. He’s ace at those kind of volleys.

 

Thought we started better but when they scored our heads seem to drop for 10 mins and there tails were up. Overall we were the better team. I was impressed with Wilson had cadden on his toes.

 

Without Wilson they would look bang average. I don't think Cadden would come up against a more difficult opponent.
Btw.
Hourianne is a shadow of the player he was with us and Villa.

 

Hourihane’s legs have gone. Still takes a mean set piece though.

 

Think the fact we had a runner in Scowen really amplified Hourihane's talent.

 

Cadden was blowing out of his arse and asked Collins to sub him the 2nd time he went round him, terrible defending though, if he was touch tight Wilson wouldn't have been able to skin him. Was it him that Connell flew into in the last second

 

Quite simply. Adam Hammill brought him on in leaps and bounds. Bang average and a cheat afore Hammill returned. Shined at us after and Villa, But not impressed me at Derby. Doesn't get involved enough.

 

Had a good go at trying to ref the game though.

 

Don't think he was particularly good for Swansea or Sheffield united either, mate. Hourihane was a very good player for Plymouth, but in my opinion came on leaps and bounds especially after his first season here, more rounded certainly. I mean they definitely replaced him well with Graham Carey (who also kinda fell off a cliff form wise, he was brilliant for a couple of years at Plymouth). Hourihane has always had that 'cheat' in him, was it against Peterborough where he purposefully stood on oppositions foot and managed to get them sent off?

 

....and it wasn't a volley.

 

Not a volley.

Our best player the last two times we've played them.
Agent Hourihane?

 

Two great goals. It wasn't hit first time though.
