Derby v Luton

[ramAnag]

‘Shinnie was my man of the match. He was brilliant in the 1st half. Less so in the 2nd but still good. Great debut’.

Not so ‘crap’ then, GP and Adi.

The mystery continues...why have we waited two months for a debut from a player who ‘tackles, passes and covers lots of ground’?

Probably only played yesterday because Huddlestone injured himself taking a penalty, but a wholehearted mobile midfielder is what we’ve been crying out for for years. Sure he was also captain in Scotland. Puzzling.

They weren't my thoughts Ra. I saw Clarke in because of the Huddlestone injury replacing Bielik in the back 4 who moved to DM. I saw Shinnie in for Holmes.

The change that got me was FloJo in for Waggy? No idea why before, during or after the game.

With regard to the Hudds injury. He hit the penalty, moved away left and showed no sign of a problem. He was then barged, totally unnecessarily, by a Barnsley defender off the ball and that was when he, for me, picked up the injury.

Shinnie. Has it been a case of "I didn't buy him" or was there a fitness question or ........ what? He's played and done well in the U23s and I had started to think he might have upset somebody...... a mystery indeed.
