Derby County v Hull City
At the very expensive stadium which is worth more than Elland Road.
18 January 2020
1500
There is some football as well.
After a mass infestation on the DCFC board by a raft of self pompous, indignant, righteous spluttering from Florest and Dirties' fans, we must remember that we have a game on Saturday.
After some semi-impressive performances recently we look to make it a sixth match unbeaten. Sometimes it looks as if are good and then in others we revert to the old horror shows.
Bielek who managed to hurt himself in a kids' match will be out for the rest of the season and maybe beyond. Shinnie is progressing but not ready yet and Bennett may be going to Millwall.
I'm not going to blind you with facts and numbers about the fixture but suffice to say we've had enough of numbers over the last 24 hours. And this is just going to drag on.
Team news from Ang 'cos me and Vidal are at the match.
Derby County 1 - 0 Hull City

Good 3 points, but a chap who sits near me said the more points we have, the more they will take off us. I wonder if he will be right?
He sounds fun!

Finally back
Derby started well and we looked quite confident and then Hull sussed us out, thought about it and changed their approach. Nullification and domination for 20 mins even though we did not look overwhelmed.
Assured performances from Wisdom and Clarke. Rooney was being marked out of the game. Huddz did good playing in that deeper role. Lawrence showed a couple of good touches.
Steady rather than spectacular.
And Backo got hit in the face by the ball
And I shook Vidal's hand after racing down the steps to see him

In my defence I was weighed down by a heavy coat and my path out was impeded by the departing shuffling hordes. But for that I feel I would have evaded View’s clutches comfortably.

Great view there Jorvik
We NEVER score goals like that.

Good goal, Roos would have punched the ball away!
Nice goal for Swansea yesterday, Conor Gallagher passed to Rian Brewster and he scored. Why haven't we gone for them? Just what we need, young hungry players to go with our own young players? Gallagher one side and Knight the other.
I thought Knight was excellent yesterday, he never stopped trying and the way he leaps and win balls in the air is fantastic for a smallish player and his tackling is good. He is everything which the other wide man is not.

Knight was excellent but the wide position isn’t ideal - he doesn’t really have a trick to beat a man. Worrying that it has all gone quiet on the transfer front. There was very little individual creativity yesterday. We haven't got a game-changer on the books at all.

Vidal, I dont think there will be any transfers in until the new investment is sorted, which itself seems to be reliant on the outcome of the EFL charge.
I expect a quiet January on the transfer front.
