Who is not watching this either live or on TV? Ivor?
Been waiting to use info that @Jackflash kindly sent me to get coverage. I just haven't had the time lately to use it. Then, sod's law!! Was intending to do it before the game but I received an appointment for another Covid jab and needed to go for it. Usually try not to go out on a Saturday, so took the opportunity to do some shopping as I was out anyway. Then when I got home I found that my newspaper hadn't been delivered, so I had to go out again!! :mad: I then had to cook a late breakfast/brunch for myself, which had to be done as I'm diabetic and need to eat regularly. By the time I'd done all this the game was about to start but, hopefully, I'll be up and running before the next game.

As for the game it sounded like our bright start was disrupted by that stupid penalty and Derby got back into it. The comms were quite nervous it seemed but we saw the game out to my predicted score. Wish I could do that more often in the Prediction League! :rolleyes: :ROFLMAO:

We were fantastic until the penalty, then the confidence seemed to drain for them. We are creating better chances and playing much faster attacking football. Defenders did the job Lati was given lots of pressure but he performed well. Wolf is improving, he is not a natural winger. Martin is improving his game. Piroe has an excellent eye for goal, playing him behind Obafemi makes it harder on defenders. This side is good enough to be a playoff side but we will have to replace Christie, sort out a keeper. I hope our major shareholders see that.

Useful and good three points in a committed display. Nice to see Wolf growing in confidence and even better to see Fulton put in a pretty decent shift. Hope that Martin has come to realise that Jay is a valuable member of the squad. Some stats:

POSSESSION: 54-46 SHOTS: 10-8 OT: 3-3 CORNERS: 3-4 FOULS: 11-9 GOALS: 2-1

Rooney is doing a good job as Derby boss but he's very one-eyed. He's moaned non-stop about the penalty they should have had (he's got a case) but not a peep from him about the CLEAR handball shout we weren't given and the even more obvious offence committed by their keeper that should have seen his team playing with ten men.
