Mixed feelings for Eriksson

Sven-Goran Eriksson felt that his Manchester City side had dropped two points by being held to a 1-1 draw at rock-bottom Derby County.
The Citizens earned a point thanks to youngster Daniel Sturridge's second goal in two games and Eriksson at least felt that his players had reacted positively to their FA Cup exit at Sheffield United at the weekend.
He said: "It was two points lost. I think we deserved a win if you look at the chances we created.
"We made three or four very, very good chances in the first half and for the goal they scored, we helped them with because it was a shot that would have gone ten yards past the goal.
"I was disappointed last Sunday when we were knocked out of the FA Cup, but here I can't complain about the players because I thought the attitude was right.
"We stood up, we fought, we created chances, we wanted to win the game. I think we were a little bit unlucky, but that's part of football."
