It's true that we were fortunate in the opening minutes with Richard Keogh handling the ball on the line. No penalty or red card and this time we did take advantage of having some luck.
In my opinion this was the best performance by the team in a very long time. We were in the end deserved winners. Every single player put a shift in and it showed!
We looked more dangerous on the attack and although we had to soak up some pressure in the second half, we stood up to it and dug in deep.
A big shout out is due to Scott Carson who was simply dominant in the penalty area and made some great saves. Both Cyrus Christie and Alex Pearce had great games too! We worked together as a team and although there is still room for more improvement, a real step forwards has been taken.
It made a nice change to see all of the positive comments on twitter and nice to be able to watch the highlights programme on tv without having to endure more pain.
A consistent topic for discussion on social media has been Chris Martin. Martin has started to score goals for Fulham and many fans are still upset at his exit from the club.
He has joined them on a season loan with an option to purchase. Unless he fails to impress Fulham, which is looking very unlikely at the moment, he isn't coming back. We need to move on now and hopefully the club will make another striker a priority during the January transfer window. That's not to say that Matej Vydra won't turn out to be a good signing in the long term.
We travel to Wolves on Saturday and like Derby they have been under performing this season and have recently parted with Walter Zenga. he task ahead of us will be no easier than in recent seasons.
Molineux is never an easy place to go get a win at, but a result will surely show that we are are turning things round. Its a tough schedule ahead but results are needed sooner rather than later to climb out of the bottom half of the division.
