Think Ince could become great for us. Already looks very good. Positioning is first class most of the time

You might have decided we're not going up this season but the club are still going to build a squad to try and mount a challenge and to do that we need a few old hands in there as well as blooding some youngsters. Personally I don't think Oscar see's Crofts as part of his plans and I can see him going out on loan hence the signing of Andrews but that's just my opinion.

Andrews left Bolton because they could not guarantee him first team football, surely he did not agree to come here to provide cover?

Thought Ince was great today
Maksimenko seemed to grow into the game and Agustein (though clearly not 100% fit) looked good
Pleased with all of them

Isnt Andrews an attacking midfielder to possibly replace Crofts rather than defensive one to replace Bridcutt.

That's what I saw too, plenty of raw potential but the Derby midfield was sharper and more purposeful and it's really not good that we are relying on such inexperience, surely needs a six-month loan spell in League one or two somewhere to really blood him, do we really have the luxury of that in our supposed play-off contending position

And remember, he is very young for a holding player. Sounds like it'll also take him a while just to get use to shifting his bulk around at this level- learning what he can and can't get away, becoming more efficient. Couldn't go today but excited about seeing him- hope he starts at Brum

The Andrews signing is baffling - Why??

It is not permitted for me to agree with you or vice versa but on this ocassion I do. As I said in a previous post he has potential but looks like a player with a DS football brain playing in the championship and a loan would do both us and him a lot of good.

Me too....definately MotM for me...Kemy looks strong....but as much as Calde is a nice guy he was found wanting...yes he supplied the pass for Uiioa's goal but was guilty of their second goal...Martin had so much room and time he could've danced to Verdi's Four Seasons before he put it in the net. Bookings....so many that the electronic scoreboard looked like a bowl of cornflakes...but it will come good...couple of Backs.....we will return ...(our library books next week)

Agreed, I had it between Ince and Calderon, neither had a perfect game but they were the bright spots for me.
Ince looked strong and certainly has timing, just needs some refining.

OMG - so we've replaced Harley, Dicker & Hammond with Augustien, Andrews and Ince and you think we're weaker. You seriously need to get some perspective.
Ince looks a prospect but like some of the other newby's needs games & will improve.

Thought he looked pretty good today. One of the better players on the pitch.

I don't know why you're surprised to be honest. Nice guy I'm sure, Albion fan for years I have no doubt, but unfortunately a large percentage of BG's 34,000+ contributions have been nonsense, football-wise. Was Ince as good as Bridcutt? Of course not. Was he MOM? Debatable - he had a few dodgy moments and is at times ungainly and a bit unsettling in comparison to Bridcutt's poise and grace - but he's a physical presence, he wants the ball all the time, a monster in the air, and willing to drive forward (with or without the ball) to help out the attack. IMO probably in our top three performers today and certainly a good prospect at 20 years of age, given it was his DEBUT, up against arguably the brightest central midfield prospect in English football. If he were first pick all season I'd be a little unsure, but as backup for LB and a compliment to Kemy, I'd more than happy for him to come off the bench, or fill in when required due to suspension or injury.

Genuinely, I would like to sit down and have a pint with you BG. I am not being disrespectful, or rude. I genuinely think it would be interesting to get your perspective on football. Others may lay into you, but I don't agree with that.

Perspective? think someone needs some. Since when have Harley, Dicker and Hammond been our first choice midfield? (I would rather have had Hammond starting today but that's my opinion). That midfield was weak today. Do you honestly think we have a stronger midfield than last season at the moment? serious question.
