Even though the starting lineup was necessary because of injuries I winced when I saw it after the lack of opportunities we've had in front of goal in the last two games.
I clung onto the hope it would be like the last time we won there, the similarities being it seemed almost a Walter Smith line up (full of defenders).
Well despite them having the majority of possession they hardly bombarded our goal. Our passing was poor at times but we were very strict sticking to our game plan.
It was a deserved victory, from our team shorn of playing their best striker and midfielder from the off.
I went with Keane as MotM as he seemed to be a magnet for the ball and composed at all times. I wouldn't argue with those that gave the bid to Pickford. After his poor form and disgusting treatment by the media since the last Derby it was great to see him so positively involved - I'll bet it really rankles with the RS as well
Another player overly demonized after the last Derby scored a great goal and worked really hard tonight. Richarlison seems to have found some form at the right time.
I thought all of our players contributed tonight but a special mention for Coleman.
That was a definite penalty by the way. I thought from one replay angle it would be overturned but you can actually see '3 Names' make a grab at DCL.
A wonderful night!
