Mate do I have to ask you this simple question again!! If Howard comes for that ball like any keeper in say League 2 would, Barkey doesn't even need to win that header does he? So Howard makes the first error for the goal not Barkley.

You couldn't be more wrong, you could try, but you wouldn't be successful.

Mingolet and Howard are as bad as each other; both can pull of fantastic saves but they are not commanders in the area. They are both bang average keepers

I want someone, anyone, to explain any part of Tim's game that is up to the level required.

Please, enlighten me.

When the corner comes in he's got two players pinning him on the line. It's a very basic tactic, but it's very effective.

He did have the other day but could have easily got to that one today

Nah mate.

Howard is just a player that is constantly under the microscope with fans like you waiting to pull him apart after every disappointing result. He's the go to guy.

You won't look at the ref bottle job, the ref biased behaviour yet again, that we were toothless at the other end but rather look for your go to guy despite it being a pathetic attempted defensive header by another player.

Barkley is 100% to blame for that goal. Loses his man and then jumps too early.

I think he needs a microscope to see the ball floated into the six yard box, as he never moved end off he is a scary poo on crosses where an attacker comes in according to Doug RB has to defend , and do the Keepers job utter rubbish!

100% Barkley's fault haha! Jesus wept! Howard made an error not coming for a simple ball he should be dealing with every time. It's not scapegoating when it's fact!

Doug put your excuses away for TH , and just be glad we salvaged a draw in a typical Derby! oh and Robles kept a clean sheet last year!

Joe, in a contrary way I thought Howard was very shakey in the first half today. Just not the main problem for the goal.

Ok mate you clearly have no clue at all!

Howard and Barkley were equally at fault for the goal. Howard should know to punch that out and Barkley needs to mark his man better. They need to communicate.

Watch it all again then mate, Ings is stood on 'his toes' when the kicks taken and Barkleys on the wrong side not helping the keeper but helping block him in.

Why did Barkley not win that header? What happened? Under no pressure either

Of course Barkey has to win the header, its what he was there to do, Kone would of, no excuses, you don't leave a player to get a free header like that and hope the keeper can get it, you deal with it yourself.

Apart from that the amount of corners we gifted them was terrible, but i guess some would want to blame Howard for that as well, you gift corners left right and center and let players get free one is gong to go in the net at some point.
