What a game, Derby are probably the most physical and dirty side we have played at home all season. They are a good side and in the first half we made them look very ordinary, they resorted to kicking us instead of the ball, Carlos was on the end of a couple of vicious challenges.
We actually got a penalty
first time in 65 games. We took the lead and were well on top and should have maybe increased our lead before half time. John had some lovely touches and was involved in almost every move.
Second half Derby came at us like a train and it was only a matter of time before they scored. After they equalised they sat back for a point and we took over again, we hammered them and it was great football to watch but we could not score.
30 seconds from the end after endless pressure we deservedly took the lead and I have to say I celebrated the goal like a little kid, I scraped the skin off my knees jumping up on the seat in front of me, it was one of those moments that you only get in football....the atmosphere in the ground was incredible.
Oh yes and Yorkie was fabulous, battling so hard in midfield for the team, nearly scored late on too.
I am so happy tonight I just can't smile wide enough
Going out for a drink soon so party on
