Yep, totally.

They looked like a thoroughly horrible team to play against. Strong, quick, aggressive, only too happy to put their foot in, leave a bit on the opponent, run through to ensure contact when they could evade. That, plus Toney giving them a proper goal threat. Bloody effective, and you can see why they're currently 9th.

Compare and contrast with our recent efforts in the Prem. No physicality in midfield, wide open spaces, often bullied, men against boys. If we do, somehow, scrape up this season, at least two "midfield enforcers" will be absolutely essential. Not to have a chance of surviving. But to give us a chance of avoiding Derby's record.
