A topsy turvy week!
Two London derbies in a span of 4 days, one comeback PL victory vs West Ham & an anticlimactic knockout in the League Cup at Arsenal.
A thrilling 3-2 win last weekend vs the Hammers after a miserable start where the lads conceded two goals in the 1st half and Liam Rosenior’s questionable selection of players making several changes to the starting XI, which frankly, did not work. 2nd half changes made a world of difference as they stormed back with three goals to take victory. The mid week match at The Emirates vs Arsenal was a snoozer losing 0-1 (2-4 aggregate). Down 2-3 from the 1st leg, the manager went with a more defensive & tactical lineup to not concede any goals, but it left the squad toothless in attack - Delap as an attacking right winger? It also did not work this match, and neither team looked threatening to score all match in a cold & wet Wednesday night in North London. It’s part of the growing pains have a new manager take charge mid season, but he is getting results!
Up next, the lads travel north to Molineux, and face the worst team in the Premier League, Wolverhampton Wanderers. With eight points scored out of 24 matches, they could possibly set the record for lowest amount of points in a season which stands at 11 with Derby County. Away matches aren’t always easy, but this is a match The Blues must win!
Come down to the Londoner Addison this Saturday morning and kick it with the Shed End Dallas crew. We look forward to seeing you there!
Cheers,
Shed End Dallas
