You didn't think i'd disappear just because of a defeat did you? I have my pride (just).
Well it was bound to happen sooner or later, by that I mean a United derby win, but at half time I meant a Boxing Day Massacre reverse, but thankfully that didn't materialise!
I thought Wednesday started the brighter, lots of possession in the first five minutes and you lot were chasing shadows, then all of a sudden, BANG 1-0, couldn't believe it, and it looked like the players couldn't either, shook us up big time and changed the course of the first half.
Second goal epitomised our defending, four defenders attacking the ball from a throw in and no-one marking the man for the follow up, think it may have been an OG?
Third goal, just completely baffled by WHAT THE FOOK BUXTON WAS DOING. Ok you think you've been fouled (I didn't think so), but maybe you could have headed into safety rather than bulleting one in your own net. Half time and I thought 3-0was very harsh on us but our defence was woeful, I genuinely thought we were on for a 0-5 spanking, Boxing Day would never be sung again.
But thank god we got off our arses, I suppose Laws chucked a few chicken wings about in the changing room. Esajas showed intent from the off and Tudgay scored a cracking goal, followed by Esajas' free-kick, before which I thought we had a shout for a pen after his previous free-kick was parried by Bunn and Wood's shirt was tugged back by a United player.
Wednesday were playing lovely football, dominated the second half completely, which I suppose was to be expected from the half-time score. I know I'll be shouted down but I thought we were definitley worth a point, you just shaded the first half (despite an emphatic scoreline) and Wednesday bossed the second.
In terms of football, again i'll be shouted down but I thought you lot were awful with the constant use of the long ball, hoof after hoof, with Henderson of course it was working because he was bullying our defence (not having a go) but it was dreadful to watch and Wednesday in contrast wanted to play football, may be sour grapes but that's what I honestly thought.
One last note, after such a fantastic match it was a shame to see more trouble outside the Wednesday end after the final whistle, when will the numbskulls learn this is football, not cage fighting.
Player mentions -
Un**ed
Morgan - He's not the best, and an ugly fooker, but he's damn effective in a game like this and he probably willed you on to victory in the end
Cotterill - Always liked him and wasn't happy to see him come off the bench, but I thought he lost a lot of posession that could well have cost you all three points
Montgomery - Do your fans still give him stick? Because he doesn't deserve it.
Harper - Didn't realise he was playing until 76 minutes. Seriously.
Evans - Is he still not match fit? I expected more from him
Henderson - see Montgomery. Man of the match
Wednesday
Grant - Best shot stopper in the league, who did he save from late on with a header? World class save. Worst box-commander in the league. Gives me bloody kittens.
Buxton - Poor imitation of Simek circa two years ago. Such a shame the American got such a bad injury. This guy can't play football and he's really having a mare of a patch
Purse - Really pleased he signed but he's had three awful games on the trot now, we were second to every second ball in that first half and he seemed a yard slow
Spurr - Gave everything he had yet again
Johnson - Now you know he's not great every game.
Potter - Best player on the park for me apart from Henderson, keeps the ball well, terrific vision.
Varney - Not up to previous displays
Tudgay - Always a threat again, well taken goal
Esajas - Changed the game, terrific goal, but see Johnson, won't always be like that.
