Tue Apr 24, 2018 9:13 pm

We’ve not been as good without him in the starting line up

Totally agree he makes things tick in the middle our record without him is not good

He had a rough start and adjusted to the speed of the game, couple of games hes dropped for no real reason. We defo miss him, we had a bit of quality in our play with him because he doesn't first think boot ball up pitch which is what we are doing lately.

Sometimes we just need to keep hold of the ball and pass it a little.

Think he needs to come back and sit in front of the back 4

Totally agree. He’s been the difference in us passing the ball to each other or just hoofing it up the pitch.

I can’t understand why he hasn’t been starting; we desperately need his quality in the middle and our midfield has looked so much poorer with him out.

We’ve gone too defensive, but if we are going to stand a chance of winning the last two, he needs to come back in.

Yep, I just don’t understand why he isn’t being picked.

For me he is first choice and you pick the rest of the midfield to fit in around him.

Stats don’t always paint a true picture but if you look at the stats of when he starts compared to when he doesn’t then it’s a pretty strong argument.

Unlike many I still think we will do it but there has to be a change back to the lineup that did so well in Jan, Feb and March.

Agree, I don’t understand why he was dropped. We haven’t been the same team since he been left out.

If he doesnt then Warnock is stubborn beyond belief. And he's got to get a new script for his post match interviews.

I will probably be slaughtered now but....
Since Gunnarsson has returned( its not his fault) our midfield has been slow and poor.
For me the midfield should have been left alone.
Yes he played well v forest and scored, but before that?
Should have had some game time off the bench.
But what do i know.
Really frustrated and angry tonight. 1-0 half time should have done better.
First time in after 16 games leading at half time we didnt win!

We got a premier class midfielder sitting on the bench and Warnock plays Gunners again, as Kammy would say 'unbelievable'

Also start Pilks FFS,as Madine is shot and Ken didn't want to know again as sub, think we have a new 'Le Sulk' on our hands and as for the other waste of space well even on the touchline he had a look of 'why they putting me on?'

That was awful against a very poor Derby side.
But never mind 'we doing well' and 'we haven't spent that much' Warnock CHANGE THE FECKING RECORD!!!
In saying all that quite a few dodgy decisions last night obvious pen, throw in's going the other way.

Warnocks game management for the run in has been, long throws, and set plays keep it tight with a clean sheet and nick a few one or two nil wins, but it hasn't worked !!!

It will be hard to change back to the team we had before the international break again now, I think he will probably try the same again against Hull, but who knows ?
