DERBY COUNTY v SHEFFIELD WEDNESDAY Championship #18 |
Sunday 1st December 2024, 3.00pm Pride Park, Derby |
Sunday match, normal time kick off, what could go wrong?
Don't want to dwell on the Swansea game, alright I will. It was poor to concede in the manner we did, so early in the game. I feared the worst but we seem to gather ourselves, shake off the torpor and salvaged a bit of pride. But we still lost.
And now to the Owls on Sunday. Sheffield Wednesday are around us in the table. So, shouldn't be a problem.........should it?
A lot of fans were puzzled by the formation on Wednesday, it was new, it was daring but it failed to dazzle until Zetter's pseudo injury led a a pep talk which seemed to shore up a performance that could have resulted in embarrassment. And we nearly pulled it out of the abyss.
We are where we are (of course) and clearly expectations need to be tempered. The armchair pundits have all the answers of course and the line between polite questioning and pathetic chunterings are becoming increasingly blurred.
Struggling for a GGGGGGGGGGOOOOOOAAAAAAALLLLLL poster - Ang is making a pilgrimage to the hallowed ground and you lot will not realise that we have scored (if) until 2 minutes after the event. I'd ask Igor but does he know it's a 3.00pm K.O?
