A
Derby win, or even a great performance, would have been such a gift to the fans
who have suffered so much this season. But it was not to be. Instead, we got
more of the same timid and inconsistent play we’ve seen all season. So
disappointing. But if I’ve learned one thing this season, it’s to grasp onto
any tiny amount of good, because there’s not going to be a lot more of it any
time soon. With back to back wins, and a decent draw going into the derby, it
was a letdown on so many levels.
