the better team for at least 70 minutes of the 90 and responded after conceding late. Yeah, there's fight, but there's also quality. Derby are a good team in this division.

A bit about me and Albion:
First season ticket: 03/04
Favourite player: At different stages; Earnshaw, Odemwingie, Foster, Pereira
Best match I’ve been to: 5-5 vs Utd
Best player I’ve seen: Pereira (or Lukaku, if loan players count)
Best moment: The Great Escape

Very controversial take, but I have no problem with this:
- Keepers always dive on a must-save pen
- Going down middle makes most sense & panenka is most effective as it chips over GK’s trailing leg
- Bostock has loads of ability (look at his best goals on YT) —it’s just unlucky
John Bostock misses the chance to clinch the play-off final shootout, hitting the bar with a Panenka! 🫣

Ravel Morrison with a moment of absolute genius! Pass comes in from the left and he dummies the ball through his legs into Plange, who laid it back to Ravel to dink the ball over the keeper. That's the magic he's capable of.
