A CONTROVERSIAL goal has left Derby County 1-0 down at half-time in their Championship clash with Millwall at The Den. Liam Feeney's 32nd-minute effort was initially ruled out for offside before the referee reversed his decision. Derby boss Nigel Clough named the same starting line-up for the third match in a row, following back-to-back home wins. The Rams' top scorer, seven-goal Theo Robinson, faced his former club. Forward Jamie Ward (hamstring) and goalkeeper Frank Fielding (groin) are still sidelined. Millwall were without striker Darius Henderson and midfielder James Henry, who picked up hamstring injuries in the midweek goalless draw at Watford. The home side were first to pose a threat as Adam Legzdins had to beat away a firm drive from Liam Trotter in the third minute. Six minutes later, Andy Keogh flashed a dangerous ball across the face of goal, just evading strike partner Chris Wood in the middle. A similar delivery from the right from Jimmy Abdou needed some smart work from Richard Keogh to avoid putting it through his own net. Wood's low shot from outside the area was well held by Legzdins and the New Zealand international then powered a header just over from Feeney's corner. The deadlock was broken just after the half-hour. Wood played in full-back Shane Lowry on the left, causing the linesman on the far side to raise his flag for offside. Play continued and Lowry's cross was met at the far post by Feeney, who gave Legzdins no chance with a shot high into the net. Referee Darren Drysdale, a late replacement for Graham Salisbury, initially disallowed the goal but, after consulting his assistant, he changed his mind and the Rams were behind. Chris Taylor just failed to get on the end of Andy Keogh's chip into the box as Millwall pushed for a second. Derby, visibly frustrated by events, were struggling to create much themselves, although Paul Coutts felt he should have had a penalty when he went down under the challenge of Lowry. The Rams' first shot in anger came in the third minute of added time at the end of the half, Richard Keogh firing over from distance.
