Shared a journalist’s tweet about this in the away tickets thread earlier but figure it’s worth sharing here too, especially with this coming direct from the man himself. NML has asked to be stood down from the upcoming internationals so he can focus on Derby and the run in, top man 👏

Well done, Nate - great decision.

For someone whose character was called into question, perhaps not unfairly, he certainly seems to have found a home at Derby. The fact that he's chosen to forego international football to help get us over the line just makes me love him even more.

You almost don't realise what a freakishly good season he's actually having until you look at the stats:

image.png.1aadfa3189326a8399668eec8e65cc17.png

He's 4 clear of anybody else for assists, and if my maths is right, 4 clear of anybody else for combined goals + assists as well. 

According to Whoscored:
Devante Cole has 17 goals and 3 assists so is only 2 behind Mendez-Laing's 22..
May, Rhodes, Jamie Reid, Bishop and Mason-Clarke next, all on 18

According to Transfermarkt:
Mendez-Laing is on 23
May is on 20
Mason-Clarke has 19
Paddy Lane and Poku are on 18 (along with the others listed above)

I think we will see the best of mendez laing now we have gayle. someone with a similar ability/footballing mind. normally we lump it up front and hope mendez laing can pull some magic out his arse and do something with it 🤣

I’m just hoping that the brief, largely unsuccessful experiment of playing him through the middle can be forgotten and that we see the driving runs from wide again.

I would love to see Blackett-Taylor and Nat operating in tandem and at their best. With Gayle in the middle we could have something truly exciting.

Not as exciting of course as three central defenders passing to each other.
