    And that is why we won’t be in play offs this year.

    For all his time on the ball, I still think Knight lacks creativity in the final third which hampers us.

    Completely switched off 2nd half..Derby gave nothing and were poor. We let them in and we paid the price..disappointing come the end..
    It's a point gained and still undefeated

    Pathetic we deserved a kick up the ass-when Riss went off nothing up front.
    Desperate for reinforcements up front.

    Knight is not a creative player, defensive mid field and excellent in that role.

    For all the criticism I read about O’Leary’s distribution, can someone please explain to me how Vitek is an improvement?

    It is not a critique from me about Max but turn it around Vitek is no worse and he has made some blinding saves in the short period we've signed him, good competition when Max returns.

    His distribution was poor tonight, the number of times he lost us possessions by putting the ball straight into touch at important times. Good save before their goal, but I think Max would have made it too.

    Early days, and on a positive I like his presence in the area and taking crosses, but has to improve his distribution.

    Why on earth are we world beaters when it comes down to losing goals and precious points in the last few minutes of so many games? I thought Twine's goal just shows his goal scoring talent and ability and considering he was on my cull list deserves praise from me. :emoticon-0137-clapp I hope we can offload both Armstrong and Fayulu to possibly free up some money to enhance our squad with better quality players, and even Mehmeti looks just the same as last campaign and his greediness takes away many chances when he inevitably loses the ball.

    I have to say hand on heart that Armstrong didn’t let himself down tonight.
    I groaned when he came on and told Mrs R&W that now we won’t score. Sure enough we didn’t but SA was no worse than anyone else - and IMHO caused more problems than Riis did.
    I’m quick to criticise so it’s only fair to acknowledge too.
    I still hope we can get at least SOME money for him before the window closes though!!

    Agree, thought he did ok, held the ball up well at times, and got us forward a couple of times as well, trouble was he was isolated as we were too deep. That said in the final third he offers no threat, was never going to score, or even assist. For all his good approach player he never offers any kind of goal threat.
