3 things on my mind at halftime: 1- Bonne’s worked hard up top and done well. Great goal. 2- Worried about Williams’ injury. Hope it’s not serious. 3- Gallagher’s least effective game so far. Hoping Field pushing him further up makes a difference.
Derby may have bossed posession but they've done bugger all with it. A lot of their passing has been panicked across the back and on the rare occasion they've reached our box the back three have stood firm and monstered the ball off them.
Our defensive pressure has been superb, fron the front two all the way to the back; Derby have barely had a second to dwell on the ball before a red shirt has been in their face.
Macca may be a stop-gap striker because of Lethal's injury but at the moment he's well worth his place in the side. He took his goal brilliantly, almost had a second, and came close to teeing up Willo with a ball across the face of goal.
The sad bit of news from the first half was the injury to Willo. He'd been getting his usual treatment from the oppo (normally without reward from the ref) before he was called up for a foul himself. He'd turned to make a move to ref to tell him what a crap decision that was and then he just went down. The closest person to him was the ref so that was a tad worrying. Hopefully it's nothing serious as with him in the side we look like we can dismantle any team.
My wish for the second half? A Charlton goal at the Cuoboard End. It's felt like I haven't seen us score at this end for bloody ages!
