Tom Ince played the whole 90 mins for Derby in their 1-0 home defeat to the Smoggies. Harry Maguire played 90 minutes in Wigan's 2-0 defeat at home to Watford (who are now top). Wigan look shagged, they're six points from safety with time running out. Mark Oxley played the full 90 minutes in Hibs 2-0 win over Cowdenbeath on Saturday. Joe Cracknell played on Saturday in a 2-2 draw with Farsley Celtic. Jonny Margetts didn't even make the bench tonight for Cambridge. Calaum Jahraldo-Martin didn't make the bench for Alloa in their 2-2 draw at Rangers. Although there's a chance he's on international duty in Antigua. Probably the only loanee from us to come out a winner this week.
Derby, and possibly by extension Ince, seem to be suffering as a result of Bent's injury. Strange, as they were doing fine before January. Does it show that Ince causes defensive frailty?
Good. I have one of those mates who's a pathetic optimist about Derby, he's always going on about how they get 33000 a game and deserve to get promoted every year. It's made me really dislike them, to the point where I want them to fail all the time.
