First half was pretty poor, although we could/should have been a couple up at half time. They played us well, packed the midfield and were very solid at the back.
Second half credit to a) the team for sticking at it and b) Slav for making by and large the right changes.
Olsen- A solid 7.
Baldock-7 Defended well and tried to contribute as much as possibble going forward.
ND- 6. Made a few potentially costly errors but recovered well. Got forward a lot but most of that was getting in the way or slowing things down. Got a lot to learn but great potential and getting better all the time. Great physical strength.
Egan-7 Solid. Wish he would pass it square less and run not walk slowly forward when there is lots of empty grass ahead.
Davies-6 Pretty solid otherwise same as Egan.
Fleck-7 Was involved a lot and tried to create and drive. Looks to be regaining his Va Va Vroom.
Norwood- 7 Shit first 20 but got better and thoroughly deserved the reception when he came off.
Ndayie- 6 tried hard but this wasn't the game for his flicks and tricks. Correctly subbstituted for the match winning assister.
WG- 6 Bit disappointed. Went deeper and deeper as the match progressed. Want more from this undoubted talent.
Billy-8 Had a bagfull of chances but it wasn't to be...or so we thought. Great first touch when clear first half, shame about the finish. But hey. BILLY SHARP SCORES GOALS.
Ozzy-9 My MOTM. Covered every blade of grass twice. Covered every where. Ratted, defended,attacked, countless good crosses. What a heart and engine.
Subs
Mcb- 0 Pointless like the score. Played one nice interchange. Unfortunayely it was on the touchline just inside their half. Never where he needs to be and the most static striker at corners ever. Never gambles and attacks the ball.
Enda- 4. Disappointed he didn't overlap Ozzy a lot more. Hoped those 2 would destroy Derby when Enda came on.
Hourihane. - 6 Brilliant corners and good distribution from centre mid
Slav nailed it post match. We need to own the game more and absolutely close out tight games.
3 valuable points against a decent side.
