Tony Pulis is available.
It might be ugly but he would get us up, and after that shambles on Saturday I cannot see Rowett doing it. Yes it was a good point but totally without merit: tactically naive in the first half and although we countered them well for the first 10-15 minutes of the second, when Fulham stepped up a gear we again could not cope in midfield.
I am quite shocked how negative Rowett has become, when I used to listen to him on the radio co commentating I used to think how well he spotted the problems in a more attacking sense
Playing with two holding midfielders Huddlestone and Ledley creates this big hole in the middle
Saturday it was evident to everyone .We had ledley & Huddlestone deep in front of Keogh and Davies
Johnson and Lawrence very wide and Nugent and Vydra well up
The gap between The front two and Ledley and Huddlestone is the problem ( a big problem )
Huddlestone should be dropped for a more attacking midfielder in the hole behind the front two.
I would play Lawrence in the hole and put Russell / Anya out wide .....
and of course the irony is that Will Hughes made a premier league debut and scored, and Jeff Hendrick continues in an established role in a top 10 team.... and we all used to complain when we had them!
Not me .......
I would of kept Hughes played him regular and got 3 million more for him in January
Last season he was finding his fitness after his cruciate op , bad time to sell when he needed this season for him to get back to his top form
Typical Derby Sell Hughes buy Lawrence , Hughes slightly better player and sold for less
Eddy I agree with all you say about the midfield its not something new its been like it all season Everybody knows we need an attacking midfielder only one problem there we don't frigging have one The squad is so overloaded with strikers As for Rowett to early to even think of sacking him we've been thee to many times after all we've only lost once in nine games But afraid this brand of football will drive fans away
Played whole game at the weekend so still in Warlock's good books!!
