Iling Junior hasnt been with us too long but has surely got to come on for Wallace sooner rather than later. Jed may be a good man to have in the squad but his best days are past him.
To be fair, from what I am hearing (only able to listen to the game) Molumby is doing ok and he does have the ability to pick a good pass though I'm sure we will see Collyier on at some point today.
As for Maja, with his contract up at the end of this season, he needs to rediscover his previous form and prove his worth in terms of goals but likely not fully match fit yet. Tbh, wouldn't mind seeing both Heggebo and Maja on.
Price has been really poor today!
To be fair, end of the first half and start of this has been much better in terms of pressure on their goal and urgency but the way Derby are set up is making it difficult. Even so, would welcome Iling Junior on to see what he can offer to break the deadlock. Not just about creating chances though as we need to be much better at putting them away when they do come.

Really disappointing but only ourselves to blame. We all know dominating possession doesn't mean a thing unless you can create chances and put them away and Derby's game plan worked for them. We not only didn't get going early enough but failed to put chances away when we did create-though credit also due to Derby's defending (including an unfortunate Mowatt who got in the way of a goal bound strike from us?)
Listening to it, Mikey seemed to cause them problems and Iling Junior sounded like he did too when he came on and he should have replaced Wallace a lot earlier, if not started instead of him. I like many aspects of Heggebo's play but Maja seems more likely to actually put the ball in the net.
As for Price, I have a growing suspicion that he may be a bit like Fellows and have moments of brilliance but then have too many games like today when he has very little impact. Still only 21 though, so expected him to still have things to improve on.
Some positives from the game but some clear lessons to be learnt too with at least a point thrown away today.
Did we learn from the Derby cup match? So who comes out smarter out of the two managers? Experience counts!
