Ranting Ross And The Pathetic Penalty? Who Cares! A Win's A Win!!!

Ahhh Ross.... hes a bit of a poor mans Viduka, when hes on his game hes a crowd pleaser scoring for fun, when hes not hes a sulky barndoor. In his defence, up to the pen miss he was having a half decent game, even Warnock first half seemed to hv turned a corner, Hunt tries but it just wasn't happening between him and McCormack. We lack killer instinct, perhaps its a confidence thing, pace was missing til Poleon came on.. so many chances to bury the game in 1st half. You could tell McDermott was desperate for the win when he was anxious to do a double substitution just before Poleon's strike. Don't let the marvel of Mowatt mask our familiar frailties but a welcome win against a side that were about our level. They defended like mad at 1-1 and the replacement goalie was impressive, a poor double header give away involved in their goal however... considering for much of the game we had the extra man advantage there was a worrying lack of urgency and a better side would've punished us and used their superior height to better effect but in the end the pressure told.
Not a bad crowd, just over 21,700 witnessed a half decent game with a fussy, irritating ref, Austin was his usual abrasive yet convincingly commandeering self, Warnock pleasingly workmanlike,Mowatt looks like another star in the making from our fruitful, fantastic academy (hands off Norwich better be written in blood in his contract lol) we know our weaknesses.. as predictable as our lack of transfer activity.. but this win will hopefullygive the side a kick up the bum. Derby coming back from 4-0 down vs Ipswich shows that we'll be up against a doggedly determined team keen to impress their new manager, Mr Wally with a Brolly. Lets hope its raining goals for the right reasons on Saturday!
