THE FUTURE ... AS IT USED TO BE

Awesome stuff. Very pleased with what appears to be a complete change in outlook down on the pitch. First 30 minutes was business as usual and strange, because we seemed to fade a bit until Jack's masterful cross to Billy, then suddenly we are on top. For the second half, up until the completely clear penalty denial it looked like we might succumb to a slightly technically superior Derby outfit but once their free kick went in, you could sense that because the crowd were mightily pissed off at the injustice, all the players gave it a 'you are NOT fucking having this game' and went at them. It's the kind of spirit been lacking in much of this season. We know they've got it in them, even if they haven't got the overall talent and even if we don't go up, I'd be happy if we fought like that every weekend. It was a joy to watch.
Henderson 7/10. Again, not much to do but beaten all ends up with a worldy free kick
Baldock 8/10. Good performance. Battled well and got stuck in and did the basics too
Basham 8.5/10. Again, becoming player of the season already. Not his best game but you could see they were wary of him when he got on the ball because he seems so fearless
Egan 7.5/10. Loved his grit and determination and a better performance than WBA by a long stretch. Him and
O'Connell 7.5/10 seemed to be far more in tune this game and the back three as a whole clicked well. I was fearful when Nugent came on because he is an experienced, wily bastard who frequently gets the better of less mobile centre backs, but Jack coped well when they went two up top
Stevens 7/10 Only just because sometimes he does the right stuff then fucks the attack up with a misplaced ball or a very poor cross. He's a wingback. He should be able to hit the target man at least once or twice
Fleck 8/10. Far better performance from him. Dug out blind in the centre of the park and the fact that he stayed on even when tiring with Coutts as an option shows how much WIlder was pleased with him
Norwood 7.5/10. Can disappear at times for a short spell but when he did appear it was significant. Again, Derby were very wary of his distribution and passing and he had two on him most of the time
Duffy 6.5/10 Nullified by Huddlestone for most of the game. When he gets it, it's difficult to see who is 'on' for the lay off and run and sometimes he is a bit exposed, even in front of the box
McGoldrick 8/10. As said, I have difficulty recognising what he does as part of a two man attack. Think he is better as false nine or in the Duffy position. He seemed to have more impact when Duffy went off. Well taken goal though
Sharp 8/10. Ran his fucking socks off as usual. Drops one whole point for some really bad opportunities squandered. 'You fat bastard' indeed.
Clarke 7/10 Mixed it up a bit and took his chance well
Derby should have been down to ten and the penalty was nailed on. Carson is a fucking liability. Wilson is pretty fucking good. Nice to see Waghorn at the Lane. Being on the losing end. Lampard is a typical mardy arsed ex-Prem dickhead
The ref was a fucking joke.
Overall a splendid performance and well done the lads. Great noise from the crowd and some ace songsmithery! Shit Stevie Gerrard!
Nice to see three strikers on the scoresheet
