A tale of two halfs. The first, a spineless, pile of utterley terrible *****. Seriously. We were bad. The second, save the first 3 minutes was good. Played some good football and actually TRIED, unlike in the first half and in the end deserved the point. Michael Coulson was immense. Well done lad, he ran and ran and ran and was unlucky not to get on the scoresheet. He should be starting ahead of Ferenczi on Saturday who in my opinion was terrible...again. Coulson did more in the 50 minutes today than Istvan has done in the last 4 games. Grant McCann - What a goal! Absolutely fantastic strike, goal of the season already. And he played very well when he came on, far better than Howard or Togwell. Kayode Odejayi - The fans gave him a warm reception, and he did try. But he just isn't up to the task, he missed a few chances although he did win the freekick from which we scored. Overall, I feel a point was a fair result. Muller had to be called into action 3 or 4 times in the first half and made some great saves. I hope the injury to Nyatanga is not too serious and he can come back and do well for either us or Derby. More performances like the second half. UP THE REDS!!!
According to your report It sounds like we should play Coulson instead of Stan. I think Stan has been poor for the last two or three matches and should be dropped.
RE: According to your report I couldn't agree more. He was a breath of fresh air when he came on today.
Stan has looked knackered the last couple of games - certainly think he needs a rest, and I was surprised when I saw the starting lineup that it was unchanged up front.
Nyatanga SD stated that his injury seemed to be a "trapped nerve" of some kind - apparently he seems ok again now.
Dropped or "Rested"? I'm pretty surprised that SD hasn't made more use of his other strikers during the holiday period. Just HOW BAD are they not to be given a shout?
