Yeah, I know - about time, etc. I don't WORK weekends.

As a bonus to make up for the tardiness, you get artwork...

Read, here, if you want:

Steve McClaren's Rams set-up, rather less standard. Steve had either reached pure desperation levels in his efforts to boost his side's woeful scoring record, or he'd found a left-over stash of the good stuff, from his time in Holland. Tasked with fitting Vydra, Bent, Ince and Nugent into something resembling a team, Steve decided to play them all up front. Kind of like running a Sunday League team, when if you're lucky enough to have more than 11 show up, you'd always just pick the best eleven players, and THEN worry about where to play them.

Skalak played on the RIGHT? News to me. And Knocky as well, I'm sure...:wink:

Also, we weren't unchanged, Murray came in for Hemed.

Other than that, great work.

He was everywhere – tackling anything that moved, visibly angry if anyone in a washed out turquoise shirt dared touch HIS ball.

That bit made me laugh, a lot.

Good work as always.

Great article as always - apart from the fact Bruno didn't get booked - no one got booked (for once - DUNK)

He should have been (which is what I meant to write, to be honest). In fact he should have been booked TWICE - once for pulling someone back on the West touchline first half, and once for the challenge on the halfway line just before he went off. Lucky boy.

Great report.

You'd think as a professional journalist Andy Naylor would know the difference between 'disinterested' and 'uninterested', though.

Brilliant brilliant brilliant. Loved the artwork as well, although it was a touch more professional than I expected.

Thanks!

Brighton. NOT KEMPTOWN!
Top-notch report. I especially enjoyed the ARTWORK, with Steve Mc's "Island" hair style of particular interest and amusement. When the ball hit the net from Baldock's finish, it sounded like a frog sucking in a fly. Love it!

I enjoy reading your match reports far more than those contained in the Argus, Mail, Guardian etc - many many thanks. And I too admire your depiction of Schteve's hair island!!
