Williams - Showed some good speed, promising Elder - Worked hard Coyle - Same as Elder Poor team performance, no energy.
Williams ... At least he looked threatening Coyle ... Work rate in both games was good Hudd ... We looked better when he came on. KLP no where near in the last two games. Smith looks promising.
Difficult. 1. Williams, showed glimpses of talent. 2. Coyle for his energy 3. Tom Huddelstone. Different class and should have been on at half time.
Coyle Huddlestone Elder Lot of votes for Williams, he did look promising at times with a decent first touch or pace taking him away from his man, but every single time he ended up wasting it. He was the very stereotype of the fast winger with no end product.
Think we sometimes have to accept the manager knows more about levels of fitness than we do. Williams coming back from Covid, and Smith just finding his feet.
Williams Smith Huddlestone Strange that Smith and Williams substituted. Worrying result playing a disjointed Derby team. The better team won. Change the system when needed Grant Saturday and last night he doesn’t appear to be able!
Agree with all of that ... but thinking that actually we maybe simply don't have the required quality and experience at the end of the day. Ironically, we are crying out for a Curtis Davis type, but it goes beyond that. Still time left in the window, but I don't see it happening.
Huddlestone for those passes, Williams for effort, Coyle for support from the back to Williams. I was disappointed with some who I've been waiting to see for a while. A bad day at the office, with plenty of games left to make up for it.
1. Coyle .. at least he was looking to get on the front foot 2. Thudd .. cameo but should have had longer, we improved the moment he came on 3. Williams .. looks quick but needs work on his final ball KLP needs to get his head down and stop thinking he is Messi .. Magennis I'm afraid is just showing why he struggled in the Championship last time, Greaves and Jones showing naivety which is understandable.
