Hey all, haven't been on here in a while - sorry about that!
So todays opponents were Leicester and I for one was hoping for a good result, off the back of (surprisingly, for me anyway!) beating Watford 2-3 away (surprising because I forgot we were playing!!!) and the creditable 2 all draw against Middleborough!
What with it being the M69 Derby, bragging rights were once again up for grabs...can't remember why we didn't play them last season...OH HANG ON! (joke, sorry, shouldn't make fun, I could have easily been us!)
The game it's self, I thought, wasn't THAT exciting and nothing much was happening in the first half...apart from Cligan's free kick!!! BOSH! As Andy Gray would screaming enthusiastically...YOU DON'T SAVE THOSE! Top corner and top draw! We looked like we were hanging on a bit after that up until the end of the half as they pilled on the pressure but we managed to stick in there, which is always good!
I thought we had an OK second half, obviously to concede the goal and concede the 3 points was dissappointing but I don't think we showed enough confidence to go for a second goal to finish the game off - and when Westwood watched the ball relaxingly sail over his head only to hit the crossbar I nearly shot out my seat! Tense moments indeed.
All in all I think, a point well earned and especially against the Leicester who have had a decent start to the season.
