What I.Saw: Think "We Got Away With That One"

They say football is a thinking man’s game. We think “Phew we got away with that one”; as the Rams beat the Millers 1-0.

Cyrus Christie, think "lung bursting run on the overlap”; think "intelligent roll back”; think "man of the match”, mine anyway.

Jeff Hendrick, think "you beauty”; "what a goal”.

Lee Grant, think "saved us two points right at the death part 1”.

Paul Green, think "hard luck son it was a good header but we’ve got Grant”.

Kieran Agard, think "should have scored”.

Craig Forsyth, think "saved us two points right at the death part 2”.

Will Hughes, think "saved us two points by clearing off the line in the first half”; "carrying an injury”; "sat deep and looked good”.

Omar Mascarell, think "came on for our number 19”; "sat even deeper than Hughes”; "always showed and wanted the ball”; "sprayed the ball around pretty well”; "McLaren knows what he’s doing”.

Think.

The iPro Stadium, "It’s good to be back”.

East Stand, "Marathon Bet Stand” why? Because it makes financial sense, that’s why.

Pitch, "an axeminster or Wilton” it looked like a perfect carpet.

Derby County, "quick out of the blocks”; "if it was a boxing match it would have been stopped in the first few minutes”.

Formation, "4-2-4 to 4-4-2”; "much fluidity”.

Simon Dawkins & Johnny Russell, "too deep, no width, the pair of them”.

Leon Best, "Nathan Tyson”.

Rotherham, "play good football”; "pack their defence then break quickly”; "unlucky today”.

Karl Arnason, "long throw merchant, either side”.

Ben Pringle, "more than good enough for the Championship”; "nice to see you back Ben”.

Matt Derbyshire, "I hate imaginary card waving, diving, posturing prats”, oh libel, right yes sorry I take that back. The word prat, I’m not qualified to say that.

Think, Andy D’Urso, the referee had a good game.

Think I need to lie down

Think it’s a good start.

Think.
