Couple of points..
I actually thought OKeefe did well when he came on at Derby. We actually got a bit of parity for 20 minutes as he was winning tackles and hurrying a Derby midfield who'd had it easy up until then.
Second Derby didn't look like a 'team' - Ince in particular was unwilling to pass after he'd beaten a man.
Third, I had a look st the top tier and 2/3 of it were occupied and each block 2/3 to 3/4 full. There were even people in the middle tier.
The number of empty seats all round was a lot less than I expected, and I'd say 25k plus is a fair estimate.
It's still a long way off getting back to 22-23k every week, but that's a great step forward and it was lovely so see so many grinning kids.
There also seemed to be s more positive atmosphere amongst the 'faithful', it was an immensely successful day - and great that we've got the new stand and thus the space to take advantage of offers like this.
Let's hope maybe on the last day and perhaps the play offs we get to use it again.
Its been such a roller coaster year or 2 , that IF and this is a big IF , we win at Wembley In sure I won't be the only one struggling to hold it in.
Credit has to be given, not only to Slade, but also to Ken Choo, who I believe is the one who has talked sense into Tan and helped resurrect our club with the help of some excellent staff who have had a tough time over the years and are now finally being given the freedom to do their jobs
