We saw both sides to Howson yesterday. There's the one that gets brushed off the ball for the first goal and cannot get back, and then there's the spark of genius for our goal. He's an enigma, at times looks one of the best players in the side, and at others goes wandering for large periods of the game. I thought Johnson went quite well yesterday, good threat in the air and actually passed the ball. I'm a big fan of Kilkenny, his delivery was good and he's the one player we have who can pick a killer pass from deep IMO. However within that midfield 3 there has to be a dog of war who will actually break play up and protect the back 4. There was noone in that role yesterday and when Derby weren't panicking at the back they had free run at our back 4 alot of the time.
I'm not suggesting we go out and get the panto villain Savage, but someone in his role, would be very nice. Either an old head that will hold in midfield or an enthusiastic chopper (Smith?
)
