But, on the final day of the English season,the two Canadians had their hearts broken when their Derby County side lost 1-0 to Queens Park Rangers in the League Championship play off final.

“I’ve been going to sleep and waking up with increasing levels of confidence,” Wilson said before getting on a plane. “It’s not corny, as someone who doesn’t observe one single faith, it’s not prayer. But I have a very good feeling about the game. We are going into the game with a high level of confidence. I’d rather be going in with a 6-2 aggregate win, which is how we beat Brighton, than coming in on a 2-1 score after extra time that you had to claw and scratch to win, like they did over Wigan. They are going to have the mindset that they’re happy to be there, while we feel that we have shown we deserve to be in the Premiership.”

“I realized the effect the game had on the country and the world, and realized ‘everybody is watching this. Everybody is touched by this.’”
