Derby County drew 1-1 at home to Bristol City on Saturday.
Derby County supporters have taken to Twitter to comment on Richard Keogh’s performance during his side’s 1-1 draw at home to Championship opponents Bristol City Saturday.
The Rams were looking to get back to winning ways after being held to a 0-0 draw at home to Nottingham Forest last Monday, but Bristol City proved to be stubborn opposition and walked away with a deserved point.
The Robins lead through Jamie Paterson’s opener – following an error from Keogh – but Derby made the most of their first-half pressure to level through former Ipswich Town forward Martyn Waghorn.
Both sides pushed for a goal in the second period, but lacked that moment of quality in the final third, with Derby supporters showing their frustration at the final whistle and taking aim at Keogh on social media.
Keogh has been an excellent servant for Derby over the years, but there’s no doubt he suffers from the odd lapse in concentration – and his high-profile errors are difficult to forget. The Republic of Ireland international has never been able to escape criticism following his last-minute gaffe in the 1-0 playoff final defeat to Queens Park Rangers back in 2014.
But a succession of Derby managers have stuck by him, including Frank Lampard who clearly values the player’s ability to bring the ball out of defence and initiate attacks from the back.
Saturday’s draw leaves the Rams in the playoffs ahead of rivals Nottingham Forest, but with trips to Sheffield United, Norwich City and Leeds United on the horizon, they may rue not picking up all three points.
