Derby v Luton

Probably right MA, either way...the point is we have waited two months for Shinnie to appear and then only because of injury.
The DT appears in complete agreement with you about Shinnie’s performance, tenacity, appearing to be the key word.
That, imo, is what we’ve been missing in midfield for years so I hope it was a fitness issue and not a case of ‘I didn’t buy him’ which would be disappointing.

I watched the Cocu interview after the match and he mentioned that about two weeks ago Shinnie had approached him about how he could improve as a player and what was needed to get into the the match day squad. He told Shinnie that he had been playing in a different leage and had to be able to get used to the style of play and to keep training hard as he had done and his opportunity will come.

Surely the same could be said about Bielik, Clarke and Lowe...so still puzzled.
