Plenty of shepherds in New Zealand.

No idea why Frank likes Evans or keeps playing him for so long. He's crap. He's no quicker than Huddlestone and has NONE of his ability. What does he do? its like playing with 10 men. He must have a picture of him, Terry and Christine doing something to a donkey.

Pablo,
I imagine it's to do with giving a full and proper trial to a new footballing investment. It is simply not sensible to get a new player and abandon him after only a few games. In saying that I am in no way judging how successful or unsuccessful Evans will prove to be.
The fact that he almost sold Huddz suggests FL hints he has the necessary potential. I have no idea who Terry and Christine are?

Former captain and missus Ramdini. I don't know the donkey though.

Evans better up his performance soon or he will be the subject of the Derby boo boys. At least Lawrence might be able to play then though. George Evans, the new Jamie Hanson.

Spart, I am trying to be hopeful here. Don't want to write him off just yet. Too many have been abandoned - maybe for good reasons. Anya, Blackman, Martin, Thorne, Johnson, Butterfield and many more.

Martin lost form after illness, Thorne after serious injuries, the rest never showed much to lose. Poor buys by the management.

Let me say that I haven't seen anything from Evans yet to suggest he is a 10th as good as Huddlestone.

I haven't seen much from Waghorn to justify his transfer fee and wages either.

Neither have I Spart but one lives in hope.

Midfield is awful full stop! Something has to be wrong when we have £15m worth of midfield players that haven't or hardly kicked a ball for the first team all season

Wilson cannot play central midfield, especially away from home, Bryson and Evans not good enough as midfield gets completely overrun

Our only tactic on Friday was give the ball to Wilson and hope he does something and if this continues Derby will not finish top 6

How many good performances have there been in the last 3 months? (league)

I was watching the game Friday night thinking I wish this wasn't on TV as its embarrassing, same as Leeds and sheff Utd

Ditto. We have been awful to watch unless playing Premiership sides. Not sure if the two are linked?

Is it a myth or truth that we play better against 'footballing' sides rather than the Neanderthal kick, rush, then kick the player teams?

I think we should be told.

View, we were "kick - rush" on Friday no?

Scouse we were kick-Rush ages ago. He's gone now so let's move on.

He ought to have be made to take Butterfield (and BJ) with him.

_______________________________________

Was that free flowing attacking football Friday? Or any kind of football with a plan in mind?

On the bright side...........
1. We have a great no2 keeper
2. Keogh and Tomori were magnificent.
3. Bogle is back next match
4. Holmes is proving to be a good acquisition
5. So is Marriott.
6. Waghorn is decent alongside other good players.
7. Lawrence WILL come good.
8. Bennett can partner Bogle really well.
9. Davis will be back soon.
9. Cole can bring some pure talent and lots of experience.
10 Ditto Andy King.

Do not give up hope. We can improve from where we are.

Ramdini I am with you on most of your points, except number 7. I waited last season and till now he has 1 goodish game in 6. How long must we wait?

I'll be interested to see how number 9B turns out.

Fair enough VC. I am simply hoping with that one. I wonder what the club coaching staff think about him? He has upped and skill and works hard, but somehow his decisions seem bit blurred. But he's very near to being a good player.

Speed X corrective text = upped. don't know why.

Young Mr Cole punditing on MNF as we speak........
