CHAMPIONSHIP : FRIDAY – 13/12/2024 (PHOTO – EBOU ADAMS CELEBRATES)

DERBY HAD A GREAT NIGHT IN THEIR MATCH AGAINST PORTSMOUTH LAST NIGHT, WITH KANE WILSON SCORING A STUNNING OPENER AT ONLY 8 MINS., FOLLOWED SHORTLY AFTERWARDS, BY TEAM-MATE EIRAN CASHIN WITH A CRACKER AT 23 MINS., AND THEN IT WAS DERBY’S EBOU ADAMS’ TURN TO HIT-THE-BACK-OF-THE-NET WITH A BEAUT AT 29 MINS. IN TOTAL, DERBY HAD 17 SHOTS, WITH 7 ON TARGET, AND PORTSMOUTH HAD 3, AND MADE 411 PASSES, WITH A 76% PASS ACCURACY, AND PORTSMOUTH MADE 405 PASSES, WITH A 74% PASS ACCURACY. DERBY HAD SLIGHTLY MORE POSSESSION OF THE BALL, WITH 51%, AND PORTSMOUTH HAD 49%. IT WAS A VERY FAST-PACED GAME, AND IF YOU WATCH HOW QUICKLY MARCUS HARNESS POWERED THE BALL UP THE PITCH TOWARDS THE GOAL, YOU CAN SEE JUST HOW QUICKLY PORTSMOUTH RESPONDED ALSO, SO-MUCH-SO, THAT WHEN MARCUS PASSED THE BALL OVER IN FRONT OF GOAL, MARLON PACK SEEMINGLY INSTINCTUALLY FINISHED OFF WHAT WOULD HAVE BEEN A LOVELY GOAL (IF ONLY HE HAD THE RIGHT SHIRT ON!) SO, THE GAME ENDED IN A 4 – 0 WIN TO DERBY, WHO NOW GO UP TO 14TH IN THE TABLE!
