TBH, going into the derby this weekend, I was concerned about the D*l*l*sh effect. I thought, "Brought him in just before the derby...sonsabitches." I had similar thoughts when they wrapped up the ownership saga JUST before the reverse fixture. I felt there was a certain level of spite in their timing, I did.
After watching today's match, though they started smartly, I'm not AS concerned about Sunday. Call me crazy. I'm pretty sure that I saw the same problems that have been dogging them for the first half of this season.
So I'm feeling a bit optimistic about Sunday...you?
