What the fcuk does Dervite bring to our team, he is a bloody centre half, either him or pritch should have gone off at half time, yes Stevo weren't having his greatest game but we need someone who came play with the ball at his feet, and taking Waggy off, that down it for me, it's all too easy to drop or sub him, can't get my head around why.

Shit
In my mind at half time I expected either Dervite<->Fuller, and a switch to 441, or Wagstaff<->Haynes, as Haynes can play down the left and offers more end product with his finishing.
Was pretty surprised to see Stephens was gone though; that said I don't think Stephens was up to his best in the first half - whereas I think Dervite actually provided some decent cover for the defence.
Dervite's limited. I thought he defended well today, that's his job.
He should have gone off instead of Dale, he can't play in a 4 man midfield.
He was complete chuff today as were a lot of them
The thing that frustrated me about him today is that he *never* took a touch and trapped the ball before attempting a pass, he tried to hit every one first time. He is simply not good enough to pull that off.
I have no problem with having a water carrier in the side who breaks play up and lays it off, but giving the ball away as a defensive midfielder is more costly than the errors Stephens was making further up the pitch.
