My opinion of Wonderman has changed after some of his recent top performances, but can anyone honestly say that they've watched our games and thought 'Lucas would make a difference if he was playing'?
Personally i haven't noticed our defence looking more vulnerable and going forward we look exactly the same since he's been out injured.

Dont you start losing faith now. Me and you against the world kid.

Jay Spearing last night - Successful passes - 50/54 - 93%, tackling success - 100%.
If Lucas had done that you and a few others would be creaming themselves. The truth is any ordinary player can become a DM if you limit the role enough like we have done.

I do agree with that and I thought Jay played fairly well last night, but it's without doubt that Lucas is the better player; he uses the ball better and last time he completely outfought that City midfield.
The lack of Lucas didn't cost us much last night though. It was all individual mistakes and a lack of scoring ability on the pitch.
