How good would Morrison be if he had confidence. Looks like he plays with his brakes on. 

Luton 0 Derby 1

2-0. Plange. Bennett won’t last 90 minutes.

2-1 

Lawrence

Can everyone not

a) get Marriott annoyed

b) look at the league table before the game

c) upset any ancient gypsy curse

etc

Our new best friends 1 Derby 1 (and no, he’s not forgiven). Plange 

2-1 Lawrence

Thanks for the promotion David - felt like lots of people willing to ‘donate’ - but this allows us to support two worthy causes - raising money for the club now and hopefully also inspiring a new generations of fans who get their first taste of a proper atmosphere. Great to see first day of contributions. 

Hudds 2-1 Lawrence

This is a pretty sad point after watching the Bielik goal back more times than it is healthy and all the other emotional posts that are so heartening to read

But wanted to point out that the goal is a rare case for us of just having just one man (Bird) over the ball for a set piece with the second man that’s usually hanging around the free kick finally waved away towards the box.

I get the theory that two potential takers causes defensive uncertainty (inswinger or outswinger) - but it’s normally pretty obvious who will take it (the one who put the ball down carefully into his ideal position). Just nice to see us have another attacker in the box.. 
 

Just screamed in San Francisco airport. Airport security closing in. You Rams ! 

2-1 Lawrence

Now let’s pack out Pride Park for Birmingham - thanks Martin and Weimann for stopping Cardiff extending the gap. 
 

and well done the under 18s for smashing Leeds 5-1 while that was going on ! 

Despite the departures, still a strong bench, nervous about Buchanan’s match fitness though

All of you lucky enough to be there - be loud ! We’ll be listening ! 

1-1 Lawrence. 
let’s hope sky have an analyst who calls out the efl, gibson and ‘the wycombe bloke’ 

Needed a calm down before posting. What a huge win and a real joy to read the posts tonight.
 

Few things - first half showed Festy’s improvement as a full back, key challenges and intercepts. The goals were outstanding. The confidence after the first goal was a sign of how much we’ve progressed. Steadman has been great for us every time he has come on - his knack of right time, right place is the real mark of experience. Caishin now very much part of this squad, and strengthens us. Jozwiak’s newly found aggression also worthy of praise. 

This is going to be a tough week I suspect, I still can’t believe a well funded take-over from any 1 of 3 bidders is being held up by two nonsense claims. The fact that we need to make or save 5 million usd within 17 days seems to make more departures inevitable. The EFL have forced Quantuma to take desperate measures.
 

Yet this team is great to watch - and Rosenoir and Rooney’s reactions today were further proof of how much they care. Roll on Forest. 
 

1-1 Lawrence

Kai Rooney. 

We’re asking a lot of ‘sweeper keeper’ Allsop. 
 

time for subs..

Now worried they’re going to chop Festy second half. 
 

though CKR has done some remarkable things for us - we’re missing the movement of Plange. 

Watching the Coventry team come out - really noticeable how many of them looked across to see the packed Derby end ! 

For the record - our team that day 

Yates

Bardell - Williams - Solomon -Jinkinson - Bateman - Aghatise - L Thompson - Duncan - Cresswell - Hutchinson 

subs Festy, Sykes-Kenworthy, Ibrahim, Cybulski, S Thompson, Rogers, Rutt, Christie 

Just two asterisks to the deserved praise for Jagielka, Curtis and Max -
 

incredible credit to Rooney for persuading Jagielka to join us in the circumstances. 

How far Thompson and Plange have come in half a season - in August, nobody would have expected them to be where they are now.

The two Sky post-match pundits/summarisers/numpties are talking their usual tosh. 70% possession and double the number of attempts on goal, but apparently we were never in it. Drivel. Reading had two chances and scored two goals. Hardly dominated did they!  Frustrates me so much that we never get any credit for anything.  Aaghh.

Think yourself lucky that you weren’t listening to the ESPN US commentary - permanently muttering about Reading suffering a 6 point deduction, the audacity to praise ‘the noise of these Berkshire fans’ - he could hardly speak after Curtis did his Ronaldo impersonation…

Am just loving the season - stuff of legends.
