Gaz’s Derby Day Blog - Final Update

After a few post-match beers with a mixture of Mags and Mackems, general concencus agrees we were poor and the Mackems deserve their victory. Its been 28 years in the making and those Mackems with sense will be out celebrating and enjoying their day. The match itself was a mixed bag, Cisse caused us problems we didn’t deal with and we lacked any sort of creativity in the midfield, who, to a man, were shocking. JFK should have made his changes earlier and given Barton and Jonas more time to make their mark. No Zog was also a bad decision and some flak must lie at Joe’s door for that. Stroller worked hard but again lacked any real composure in front of goal and Martins, though dangerous, never really looked like scoring. Taylor and Colo struggled at times in the wind and were harassed by Cisse and then Jones. All in all probably the right result. I’m taking a well earned break now for Budweisers and a Chicken Dhansak. Gaz - signing off.
