BWFC 1-0 Derby

Pleased with the fact we're winning. I just hope we can capitalise on it in the second half. Three points would be more than welcome right now.

For once, Parky's tactics worked - mainly due to an outstanding defensive performance from Hobbs and Wheater. Shame about the unnecessary bookings though.

Three points and a great game to watch thanks to our backroom boys.

The worlds a better place tonight.

Exactly. Derby didn't have a clue how to unlock our defence. They looked like a completely different team to the one that played Man Utd a few days ago though

Class act by Noone going over to Darby after his goal!  What a fitting tribute!

A bit of breathing room from the bottom now.  Let's hope we get our players healthy again and get a few more points before the next international break.

Yep impressed with that, over the last few years that would have been a humiliating defeat against Derby, big improvement! !!

What a glorious result, Jose needs a refresher course from Parky in parking the bus! To be fair to Parky it was his most attacking starting line up at home this season (2 wingers, OZ and a striker).

Fantastic result, not sure how we get away with it when I take a look at the stats.

Fantastic result and performance despite yet another pathetic display from yet another clown of a referee. Do they get these qualifications out of a cereal box?

Has to be said, Parky will be one of the favourites for any Championship vacancies that come up now, despite the style of play.

They didn't have any real clear cut chances, just lots of shots from outside the area. Hobbs was brilliant today and Buckley had his best game for us by a long way, he even managed to take on the full back a couple of times

Pretty rubbish stats, need to be improved.

The lack of possession was a worry but in truth Derby never really looked like scoring except for one chance which was superbly saved close to the death. I only saw the second half of the match but thought the defence was colossal today, Hobbs and Wheater seem to partner very well and my only gripe is how easily we gave away possession when we had it. Doidge needs to learn to look up sometimes as well. There were a couple of occasions when he had the ball and could have easily crossed or passed it had he looked up but he didn't and lost possession both times. Overall though this was a pretty decent performance and the three points were even more welcome than the clean sheet.

Master class from PP today Hobbs at the heart of a superb defence, a middle 5 who all put a shift in and a glimpse of what is to come from OZ and a real shift from the striker.

Forget stats Derby played the ball sideways for long periods and only really threatened once in the second half. Well done BWFC and Buckley was at the heart of all our chances, the ref was a prick.

Can’t believe anyone’s moaning about stats, absolutely meaningless when your primary tactic is to contain the opposition.

Not the greatest game you'll ever see, but boy was it effective. Derby seemed to have the ball for 90 minutes but it wasn't until the last 10 minutes they actually had us under any sort of pressure. And even then it wasn't exactly last ditch defending.

Excellent performances all round, Hobbs magnificent, Magennis never stopped running, Lowe all over the pitch. Even Buckley looked a different player. No idea who we had in the nets but he looked safe and made the save when called upon near the end.

I gave Nuggy a good send off when he was hauled off.

The table makes good viewing, 5 points off the top and a bit of daylight to the bottom 3.

However, we MUST beat Blackburn. No other result is acceptable.

Wonder why Martin hasn’t posted anything.

He's busy making his 'Parky Out' banner for the Rovers game.

Unable to make the game again today, but I'm hearing unnerving tales of Buckley doing ok. I need a detailed report.

So for all Derby's possession they only had two shots on target out of 17 shots.
