I have patience for Shota because he’s still getting used to this squad and he’s trying things. They’re not working but he’s trying. Main issue is barring Honeyman, the midfield lacks creativity and we’re getting dominated in midfield. The amount of ball turnovers and breaks Derby have benefitted from, Docherty and Walsh may as well not even be there. Docherty needs a rest. He’s not doing it at the moment. He looks clumsy on the ball and indecisive.
Where did I say I wasn't impressed? But there's a huge difference between bringing in some ( on paper ) decent squad players and bringing in players that would take you on a play off run
Early days, but with Fulham, Blunts, and QPR to come. It could be the shortest honeymoon ever. Need a decent 2nd half....cliché.
I understand your Hudd reservations, I'm the same, but we need somebody in the middle of the park with a footballing brain to try and bring a bit of shape and order to the side, maybe Smallwood, but somebody please!
I’ve no idea why Slater isn’t even in the squad. Last season, he looked better than Smallwood in that position and Walsh hasn’t impressed me so far.
With his team selection tonight I’d like to know what he’s trying ? powderpuff midfield & 2 strikers playing out wide was never going to beat Derby.
