Agree with all that mista.
Positives...Keogh's effort and determination, new signings all looked good...particularly Huddlestone and Wisdom, great to see Forsyth back (really hope he can stay fit), fitness levels in last twenty minutes looked good, Carson looks to be starting where he left off...confident and organised, Vydra looked quick and 'hungry' to prove himself, new away kit looks decent, Gary Rowett sounds impressive and talks infinitely more sense than McClaren who just waffled on meaninglessly - and complacently - imo.
Negatives...still really short in midfield...Butterfield and Johnson so frustrating, nothing out wide...JR looks like a 'world beater for 5% of the match and a headless chicken for the other 95% and finally, a message to Martin...there's a proper footballer in there so stop throwing yourself to the ground and clutching your ear, ankle, knee, arse...whatever. Sure, you're going to get kicked sometimes...but about all you managed last night was to reinforce your reputation as a big man who goes down far too easily. With a full season ahead that really isn't going to help.
