League leaders, Derby, can consider themselves a little unfortunate to leave Bescot with only one point but credit must be given to the Saddlers for sticking to their task. Lancashire left the field early, presumably as a precautionary measure, after he picked up a knock. The other two players who have figured fairly regularly in the 1st team squad, albeit from the bench, Peterlin and Grigg, did nothing to suggest that they are ready for a recall to the senior side starting XI. It was a game that Derby controlled throughout but their finishing was not very good.

thought Butlin took his goal really well and was impressed with Deards and Benning :mrgreen:

Anyone (by which I probably mean Pedagogue) got info on Aaron Williams? I know nothing about him but see that he's been scoring regular for the youth team this season.

I watched him play for the Youth Team against Carlisle, last week, as well. He looks a promising player and he certainly improved our attacking prospects when he replaced Grigg, yesterday.

Have to agree, Grigg did very little.
