Got to love Ebou.

Enjoyable, regulation win against Zamora FC. You would have thought something would have happened to them in the last ten years but apparently not. Thought the final ball was poor in a dominant first half. Got the breakthrough and could have had more. Wasn’t a fan of Phillips coming on - he looked like he’d won a prize and just seemed to cause a little confusion. Overall very happy. Kenzo is great, Fozzy just gets better and Zetterstrom made a couple of great saves. Always happy when we win and fully deserved it was! 🐏🐏

Nothing wrong with being good with your feet but two defenders and a goalkeeper passing the ball between themselves in the six yard box simply isn’t for me!

Was that Chris Morgan? I agree. Most players aren’t good enough to do it which is why we see goals like that or like the hilarious Bolton one from a couple of weeks ago or on any episode of match of the Day. I miss hitting it to the big man to knock down for the little fast one.

Pratting about at the back seems ubiquitous and obligatory now doesn’t it. Are all academy players coached to give at least one goal away in this manner?

I think that with the amount of money in the game nowadays we shouldn’t be relying on players’ parents to run the line. Maybe we should be looking at employing some qualified people to do the job instead.

Let’s hope it works out better than Paul Jewell.

Derbyshire welcome Gummy McGumbo as their new middle order batsman.

Is Madsen just allowed to bat on his own like when you are playing as kids on the park. He can run and then walk back to take strike. Might be simpler and better all round.

Good to see us making a fist of it.

It’s Ian Bishop.

Madsen will be in the 60s and will still be our best batsman.

I find that is even worse. When you have been so busy, forget and think…I’ll check how they have been getting on and then the crushing disappointment. 96-1 now. Treacherous, unplayable wicket my arse or have we bowled 120 full tosses? To be fair, none of us support Derbyshire for the glory do we. Being competitive might be nice though!

130-2. Answer a couple of emails. 133-7. Same old failures. It’s just so predictable. Came, Reece and Madsen have down OK this season but the rest of the batting department has been a waste of space.

I enjoyed our first half performance a lot. There was some lovely first time passing and Kenzo looks like a real footballer. Second half was a long slog but we deserved the 3 points against what looked like a very poor team. Onwards and upwards! 🐏
