Huddlestone should be playing, not Evans.

What is Evans midfield role? I just don’t see him on the ball very often. 

Evans has the uncanny knack of being where the ball isnt. He’s not even half the player Huddlestone is

[StringerBell]

How's that handball?

[Mr Tibbs]

Boo'ing Lawrence for being snapped. Haha. Football fans are idiots. 

[Phuket Ram]

And I think out of 7 touches, Lawrence has lost the ball 5 times. I must be blind to not see what he brings to the team. But I just don't.

Make that 6 from 8

[Sith Happens]

Should be down to 10 preston

What about the way he has played since he’s featured for us makes you think that?

Based on the progression of his first game to now, he isn't a flashy player like Huddlestone, or as exciting as Mac 1 Throne. But he seems tidy enough, and with so many midfield players out of contract at the end of the season, we will need him to be ready to step up. 

Don't get me wrong, Huddlestone is our best CDM. But he won't be with us forever, Evans is on a longer contract. 

[North East Ram]

Hopefully that Pearson will walk soon - seems willing to talk himself into a 2nd booking 

[Rampage]

Bennett for Nugent please. Not enough quality in Rams team with key players out. COYR

[nottingram]

If his first wasn’t a straight red that might’ve been a second yellow.

Influenced a little by the crowd I think

I hope he steps up cos being ‘tidy enough’ isn’t enough 

[Millenniumram]

Ref has decided Nugent isn’t allowed to win a header

[Phuket Ram]

Does blasting it into row Z count as giving the ball away?

[Rampage]

Huddlestone on at HT please. We need the first goal tonight. 

[Shuff264]

Lawrence ?‍♂️

Tough chance, ball was bobbling a fair bit in his defense.

[SaintRam]

Jesus Tom Lawrence.

Give me a reason to stop only having negative opinions about you ffs.

I'm trying my best to just stop posting about him but duck.

[North East Ram]

Great pass to Lawrence. Unlucky / shame about the finish. Encouraging though.

[Edtheram]

Evans looks scared to receive the ball. Changes at HT need to start playing. Zoon on and waggy up top for Nugent i

Be nice to get back to Pride Park and play on a pitch that isn't basically a mashed up Christmas pudding for once.
