Our third victory came away at Milton Keynes and to be quite honest it could have so easily been a defeat. Carson saved us more than once in goal and for a good hour or so we were second best.
We were simply awful! Total against the run of play Bradley Johnson scored his first goal in a Rams shirt, but the hosts replied quickly.
It wasn't until the last ten minutes that we actually started to cause any real problems. Darren Bent was there for a tap in and Tom Ince with a snatch of the ball from the MK Dons defender giving us a very flattering 3-1 win.
In contrast the 2-0 home win against Brentford was a much improved showing. Some very nice football and a more organised display.
Two very worked goals too! Chris Martin getting a fifth of the season and Tom Invce getting his third.
Hopefully the Brentford game was a sign of things to come.
Bradley Johnson, Jeff Hendrick, and George Thorne were exceptional in midfield. The back four looked very solid too! Keogh is playing some of the best football of his career and Cyrus Christie seemed to have gotten his confidence back again.
We looked very threatening on the attack too!
We will need to be on our toes on Sunday as we host Wolves in front of the to cameras. Hopefully a repeat of last seasons encounter where we gave them a 5-0 shellacking is on the cards. That said, I'm sure it will be a fiercely competitive game.
We have now edged our way up the table and now sit just three points off second place. A win is a must in home games from now on as Middlesbrough and Brighton who have got out if the starting blocks quickly must not be allowed to build up a large gap and run away with the automatic promotion places.
As a first I will name my preferred team for Sunday it is as follows.
Carson
Christie
Keogh
Shackell
Forsyth
Johnson
Thorne
Hendrick
Ince
Martin
Russell
