alles ist gut

Full time 1-1 Some of our players deserved to get something from that game, some did not. Pitaluga had a good second half, negating his main opponent Koumetio. Beck fought hard, as did Norris; Doak did well not to lose his temper. Clark was rubbish and should arguably have been subbed earlier than he was.

1-1 Extended pressure, cross from the left by Beck gives Woltman a 88th minute tap in.

Five minutes left, still 0-1 Their left back got his second yellow for constant fouling of Doak.

Half time 0-1 We’ve been second best in all areas, and if they could head properly, we’d be further behind.

1-0 EFC Against the run of play, their striker runs onto a long ball and chips Pitaluga.

Happy Gary Mac Derby Day to all who celebrate :

We could do without the nuisance of that qualifying tie in August (24th & 31st) though

His hair is.

Well, you know, it's all wishcasting; he probably isn't as far along as Jones was at the same age, and the balance of probability says he's most likely to be an attacking midfielder than a forward. He's not lightning fast, but he's quick enough, and he has more about him in a physical sense than a lot of our recent products.

Yes, it's his son.

Full time 4-0 Perhaps not quite as one-sided as Tuesday, but another fully-merited win.

4-0 Danns with a towering header to finish a Davison cross from the right.

Koumas shoots just wide on yet another counter attack after a Leeds corner.

Sub : Pennington on in midfield for Kelly.

3-0 Koumas at point blank range from a cross by Danns.

Subs : Koumas and McConnell on for Figueroa and Furnell-Gill

Half time 2-0 Not a flawless performance but deservedly ahead.

2-0 Another counterattack down the right, and Figueroa lays a perfect cross for Gift to beat the keeper into the left-hand corner. Great timing when Leeds had had the best of the previous five minutes.

PENALTY! Young is brought down by their keeper after a counterattack - great work by Danns and Figueroa up the right after we clear a Leeds corner. Young has to go off, and is replaced by Gift. Danns takes it… sends their keeper the wrong way. 1-0

Here we are again. Happy as can be.

How much antifreeze was in the punch?

He's gone, get over it.

Top, top “fucking baldy Manc refs” analysis there, Dave.

No, there’s bound to be a few games no one much wants to see, put them in Pride Park, Derby need the money as much as anyone (other than the Ev, obviously)…

A bumper Bank Holiday special Jack Bearne : Came off the bench in Kidderminster’s 1-0 win over Buxton on Friday in stoppage time and almost created a second goal. Also a late sub in the Monday victory over Fylde, who had started the day top of the table. Harriers now just four points short of the playoff places with three games left. Fidel O’Rourke : Unused sub in Halifax’s earth-shattering upset 3-1 win over the world’s 40th richest club in Wrexham (Have you checked this? - Finance Ed.) on Good Friday. Then a late sub in the 3-0 win at York. Tyler Morton : Blackburn lost again 2-0 at home to Norwich on Friday. Morton not to blame for the first goal, which came from a run right up the middle. The Rovers website seemed to imply he was at fault for the second, which isn’t borne out by the video. The Monday match at Huddersfield was very much a game of two halves. Morton inadvertently deflected a cross which led to the home team taking the lead. His positioning for the cross that resulted in their second didn’t look too clever either. Nevertheless, the second half went a little better; he was involved in the slick passing move that created Blackburns goal ninety-ish seconds after kick-off, he hit the post from twenty yards out with what looks suspiciously like a misplaced through ball, and finally it was his cross from the right, knocked down by Rankin-Costello, that was put away by Ryan Hedges to secure the 2-2 draw in the fourth minute of stoppage time. Thanks to a cavalcade of helpful results later in the day, Rovers stay sixth, despite that negative goal difference. Conor Bradley : Bolton followed up on their Wembley glory by grinding out a 1-0 win at Exeter on Friday; Bradley grabbed the winner in the first half when he ran onto a through ball into the box and finished through the keeper’s legs, his first league goal since December. A fair bit of “hanging-on-grimly” by Wanderers and their injury-hit defence ensued. Bradley won the fans vote for man-of-the-match. Less successful on Monday, although it was Bradley’s cross that was converted at the second attempt by Declan John into their goal against Cambridge. The late equaliser for the visitors leaves Bolton still sixth, ahead of Derby on goal difference; they will need to get something from their game in hand. Marcelo Pitaluga : Made an unexpected return to Macclesfield for the first time since being injured before Christmas, as the Northern Premier League Western Division champions (a very real thing, apparently) beat City of Liverpool FC 5-0. A couple of really good saves in the highlights I saw. Not involved in Mondays draw at Hanley. Leighton Clarkson : Aberdeen took on struggling Kilmarnock at Pittodrie and ran out 2-0 winners; another solid midfield performance by Clarkson capped by the defence-splitting chip into the opposition box that led to their second goal. Now back up to third for the first time since the World Cup, and the top-half finish has now been guaranteed. Luke Chambers : Back into the starting lineup for Kilmarnock at left wingback; not at fault for the first goal, which went straight through the middle from the opening kickoff to the back of the net in 16 of your earth seconds. Could have got closer to Duk for the second. Actually a better team performance than the result shows, Kilmarnock arguably had the better of it between the two goals. The fight against relegation will continue next weekend against, erm, Celtic.
