Matt Derbyshire has never been far from being discussed at the top of a Millers message board this season and I'm sure tonight will only increase that. Alright, one swallow most definitely does not make a Summer and if anyone is saying "I told you he'd come good", I think you are being a little premature.
His goal tonight was outstanding, no question, a quality finish which quite rightly deserves praise. His assist for Green's goal also deserves praise and his general all round performance was better. There were still some areas that caused concern, but after the criticism he's had from some quarters recently I feel it would be unjust to dwell on these.
In short, that was encouraging tonight and I sincerely hope his goal has provided the confidence to produce more quality up front and perform the job he's paid to do to the best of his ability. I also hope that in a couple of months or so (as already stated, it's far too early now) some can justifiably say "I told you he'd come good".

He was outstanding tonight and you can forgive one or two loose passes when he puts in a performance like that.
