Derby County (0-2) 10-9-13 39 pts.

It is a small world after all.

Tuning into the live audio stream on Three Counties Radio a bit early for today’s Derby Co. match, I caught the tail-end of local heroes Head East doing “Since You’ve Been Gone”.

On to the match:

A Michael Tonge shot from 30 yards out connected with the underside of the crossbar – no chance for Scott Loach as it bounced off him en route to the net – giving the Rams an early lead 12 minutes into the match.

A fairly staid first half with only one real chance for each side left the score at 1 – nil as the teams retired to the dressing rooms.

Watford played a strong second half until Chris Porter beat Jay DeMerit one-on-one in minute 78 to nail down the match and send the Hornets packing empty-handed from Pride Park.

The next match is Tuesday as play-off contenders Swansea City visits Vicarage Road. Kickoff is 1:45 pm St. Louis time.
