Match highlights: Derby County

There were highlights? Who knew?

Is it me?

On the one minute mark of the highlights a Derby player puts an angled shot in.

Now in my day the keeper would simply tip it 'round the post' for a corner.

A bog standard save that you would see at sometime throughout the game at any ground in the country.

Bogdan however - for about the millionth time parrys the ball right back into the middle of the penalty area - the LAST place the ball should be ending up.

Have I missed something, as coaching changed in this respect in recent years?  Serious question.

If so what is the thinking if this is how keepers are taught these days?

Or is it just as I suspect Bogdan can be brilliant one moment and utter crap the next?  

Why the fuck does he simply not put the ball safe from his save?

It's you Sluffy.    

What got me was that those highlights don't really tell the story of Derby's dominance. The casual observer would think it was a very even match from that in isolation.
