First of all another error by Cyrus Christie led to Watford taking the lead.
We then were handed a lifeline just before half time. A dubious red card reduced Watford to ten men, but a penalty it was and Darren Bent duly obliged from the spot.
There was plenty of attacking in the second half from us and Tom Ince produced a great goal to put us ahead in the game and looking like getting a win.
However, yet again we conceded and another opportunity to cement our place in the top six was missed.
George Thorne came off having played half an hour of the game. I am amazed that he has played any minutes so far this season and wasn't surprised that yet again he failed to complete a game. Perhaps we are rushing the lad back too quickly.
I think automatic promotion was all but written off by most people a couple of weeks ago. We are now flirting with finishing outside the top six. Some say we have an easy run in! The fact is we haven't. Wigan and Brentford have already beaten us and Millwall have held us to a draw.
It's times for both management and players to move up a gear and at last get us a lottery ticket!
One positive from yesterday was the great hospitality served up by Derby County for the team that my son plays for,
North Lindum Hawks had a day out at Derby. The club are from Lincoln and enjoyed an hour in the DW Soccer Dome before making their way across the car park into the ground.
A pre match parade round the pitch with a team photo preceded the surprise of carrying the giant club flag to the centre circle to welcome the players on to the pitch.
Derby County are a great club for community involvement and yesterday welcomed a club from fifty five miles away. I'd like to thank them and in particular Will Watson for their hospitality. The lads and parents were so impressed that they want to come back again.
