Moving away from Igor slightly though is this a good time to debate Patrick Bamford's cameo against us?
It was comically bad bordering tragic. He seemed to come on, run very hard for him, nowhere in particular and give away fouls in a rich boy wanting to be Vinnie Jones kinda way.
If it was a Derby vs Forest game 0-0 and Forest needed to break up play against us and Patrick Bamford had strength I could see the logic in this but not sure winning 4-1 against us, this was the time or place for Paddy tries to be a bad boy.
Has he played better since? I always thought he looked quite good in a black and white shirt not sure why his career hasn't really lived up to the early promise.

Wellies yup I know what you mean. Jury is still out on Bamford, he has a touch & knows where the net is, can score with head & both feet but under Bielsa needs to knuckle down. Issue he has is that Roofe has found some imspiring form. Think maybe cos Bielsa has played him up front on his own, which he is reveling in & he always said is his best position. Bamford needs game time but with the form Roofe is in, the only way he will get a good run if Roofe gets an injury
Baa baa black sheep!
