I know we keep banging on about this but it was blatantly obvious tonight how much we need one . Derbyshire bowery and maguire are simply not good enough for this league .
Only jch can hold his head up high tonight from the forward line .
Agree Luvpud. After watching Matt Derbyshire for a season and a bit I am resigned to the conclusion that he is a nearly man. No lack of effort but not quite up to it. JCH was a right handful all night but he was fighting a lone battle. Derbyshire's biggest contribution was to take one off JCH's head first half. I don't know why Andreu went off unless he he was injured. Maguire is nowhere near as good. Too many of them went missing tonight. Perhaps Tuesday took it out of them. Wednesday have the squad to make 6 changes and we were unchanged. The longer the game went on the more it seemed to tell. Gutted.

Strikers nothing to do with it. Midfield diamond formation is a joke. Smallwood should have played. Ward never had a kick. Green gone. Andreu needs shipping back ASAP.
Sort midfield out and we might start creating chances for the strikers.
Tend to agree with Oneaday. The main issue is midfield . If we have a budget left then I'd spend it all on midfield where we need up and down pace and skill and the ability to link play in the oposition half . Our midfield is quite few yards off the pace.
Agree, our midfield lacks creativity and any sort of presence. I think we are ok in terms of "holding midfielders" with Smallwood and Thorpe, its the lack of movement going forward, with only Frecklington really sticking out as this kind of player.
Andreu for me does offer us something, and at times shows vision and quality, however he drifts in and out of games.
There is a massive gap between our front pair and our defence linking up play. That can clearly be seen on the rare occassion we try to break or counter attack - we cant because we are so deep.
Jerry Yates will be making an entrance in the main squad soon, hence him going out on loan to get game time, hope harrogate Town play him for the full match every time.
I rate young Jerry, and redders has the contacts out there to place young talent in first team squads to get game fit.
its a no brainer, ready made striker in waiting, roll on when he comes back.
Seems that Leon Best is training with us and a young lad from Hibernian also due to come in! Owls sign Hooper we get these two? That's money talking for yer again!
Leon Best?????????????????????????????
I hope that's a joke, the bloke couldn't hit a barn door with a bazooka!! I've a mate who's a Blackburn fan & he said to say he's shyte is an insult to the shyte, also a massive attitude problem!!!
My mate at Derby said he has the quality to be a decent player, however his attitude lets him down massively. Not a team player by the sound of things - thinks he's the bee's knees.
Either that or Eddie Izzard.
