He used to analyse Derby performances on his twitter account when he was a student, once he gott into the industry he had to stop. His handle back then was something like 1win11points.

I just think the club is waiting. If they announced it yesterday, everybody would be expecting him to play today. If that wasn't going to be the case then why would they announce it before the game?

For the few peopple who have seen the programme, his agent reminds me of the character Reggie from Ballers.

Agree with this. Sitting in the West it looked like it'd be a soft free kick if he'd given it. And since the ref was letting a lot go, he was never giving that.

I think it's deliberate personally. Just from the way the sprinklers were used at half time until you could see small puddles on the surface. For the record, I know nothing about groundskeeping, it's just how it seems to me.

In terms of winning the ball: Joint most interceptions last night of any player and joint most ball recoveries by Derby players (Joe Powell had one more). So he seems to win it plenty. I mean, call it 'false stats' if you want, but that just seems like a defence mechanism for not having to change your mind. For me he passes the stats test and the eye test. He goes about his job and does it well most weeks. I think the bigger issue is, Warne wants to play two centrally and both the ones he uses are more suited to being part of a three. Given the limitations in mobility of both players (neither have rockets strapped to their boots) they both do a fine job. Fans have spoken a lot in the past about square pegs in round holes regarding strikers playing out wide etc. but to me our midfield is a big example of it, yet it never gets mentioned. It's just, our midfield gets run through every week, well of course it does, we don't don't have the personnel to play two in the middle.
