Match #12: away at Derby County (currently 19th, both teams with 10 points)
S: Morris/Kaviedes/Vine
MC: Bridge-Wilkinson (with long up arrow)
DMC: Evans/Chambers
D: Davis/James/Coyne/Foley
GK: Murphy

With this much rest in between games, everybody's condition is at 100%. Derby played a 4-4-2 with moderate push from the wingers in their last match. They are about to have a mutiny on their hands. Morale is very low all around, many player are unhappy, saying the team is underachieving. For us, team morale isn't as bad as you'd think, with players ranging from poor to very good, many at good.

As we get to the game, they show a 4-4-2 formation with heavy push from the wingers.

26th minute: After a long run, one of their striker saves a long ball from going to goal kick on our end. He centers it in the box. We touch it twice, but can't clear it out the box. That's when they put foot to it and score. Down 0-1.

First half is over with us down 0-1. We only got 1 shot, not even on target. We're not getting the ball up there...

60th minute: Flamboyant striker Ivan Kaviedes isn't so flamboyant today, as he's having a bad game. At some point, he even had a form rating of 4. I pull him out and put James Pinnock in.

We played a bit better in the second half, but don't get any good chances...

Final Score: Luton 0, Derby 1
Shots (on target): Luton 3 (0), Derby 9 (4)
MoM: Tony James, with a form rating of 9. He won 11 of 11 headers, 7 of them key headers. I've seen the comment about him winning everything in the air a few times already. He was a good acquisition.

Possession: (us/them)
our zone: 11/26
middle: 22/22
their zone: 12/7
Overall: 45/55

We drop to 21st, one mere point out of relegation zone.
