THOMAS CARROLL (Derby County) 20.03.2012 vs Brighton (A) 0-2 (L) Championship (Round 38)
Once more on the bench but brought on in the second half, however was unable to make an impact.
Explain to me the purpose of bringing Caroll in again, we are not going to sign him, we werent good enough for the play offs, we were on a 6 game unbeaten run, so why bring in a a player from another team and play him ahead of our own.
When the team is well on top he can and does show some elements of creativity. However when the team is not on top he struggles as he is lightweight and does not have time on the ball as he is used to. He was brought in to simply try and create opportunities. It has not worked.
Now even the most blind faith Clough fan, must admit that both bringing neither Maguire or Carroll has worked.
If only we hadnt messed around playing Tom Carroll during our losing streak we could now be closing in on the play offs.
Cannot see any big issue with Carroll having his run in the side. He is a kid of obvious talent who can spot and deliver a pass. NC recognises that we need a bit more craft in the side so he brought him in, unfortunately Carroll apart from a few flashes has not really hit the mark so NC took him out of the side.
Carroll may put a few kilos on and come back next season and be a real star for us..... too early to write him off.
I think we stuck with Carroll for too long.
Carroll came with a reputation for being a fantastic passer of the ball and someone who can create. Under different circumstances i.e a team that is playing with confidence, Carroll my well flourish.

THOMAS CARROLL (Derby County Reserves) 21.03.2012 vs Nottingham Forest Reserves (A) 2-1 (W) Central League Central Division (Round 9)
Played 83 minutes in this reserve fixture the next day, as Derby were short of players. Played well and made an assist for the first goal.
Four of the five substitutes from the previous night's first-team match at Brighton started – Ball, Tom Carroll, Ryan Connolly and keeper James Severn.
Carroll's free kick was headed in unchallenged by Ball from inside the six-yard box.
The visitors almost had a third 10 minutes before the break when Carroll waltzed into the area, only to be denied by a fine diving save from Evtimov.

YAGO FALQUE (Southampton U-21s) 20.03.2012 vs West Ham XI (A) 1-0 (W) U-21s (Friendly)
His third game for the U-21s, following on from the game against a Crystal Palace XI a week ago and he put in another good performance.
Barnard struck from the spot in the 70th minute after Yago Falqu?® had been brought down inside the area following the Spaniard's mazy run into the box.
In fairness, Southampton did create the clearer chances, with Falque controlling proceedings from the centre of the midfield.
Late on, Falque himself went close with a quickly-taken free-kick, but Baxter flew to his left to push the ball away.

DEAN PARRETT (Yeovil) 20.03.2012 vs Charlton Athletic (A) 0-3 (L) League One (Round 38)
Started his first game since his sending off against MK Dons on 06 Mar 2012 and was subbed off on 69 minutes. Yeovil's recent good run came to an end after a tiring run of fixtures finally took their toll against the club Parrett was out on loan to last season. He has stated in an interview he would consider a switch to Yeovil next season.
Yeovil Town makes a sub: Keiran Agard enters for Dean Parrett. Reason: Tactical
Dean Parrett also looking lost in a supporting role.
Gavin Williams looked to tee up Parrett from 30 yards, but the midfielder’s run-up allowed Darel Russell to steal possession and launch a fruitless counter-attack.
Parrett kept giving the ball away.
Parrett believes moving west until the end of the season represents a step in the right direction.
"I was there last season and I think I had quite a good spell there," he said.
"I really enjoyed it and it was one of my better loan spells. I can hold my hands up and say Plymouth was not the best for me and I did not get the best from it, but Charlton was definitely good and was a stepping stone for here and for my first six games where I did not do too badly.
Despite currently facing a battle to pin down a place in the starting XI, Parrett refused to rule out a longer stay next season if a bid was tabled.
"I am just thinking about the end of the season and the next game and if I can get back in the team first," he said.
"If Gary Johnson comes knocking again that will definitely give me something to think about. Yeovil send videos back across to Tottenham so they can keep tabs on what we are doing.
"I get a little bit of feedback from them every now and then but I am down here at the moment and I am a Yeovil Town player. I do not really think too much about Spurs at the moment."
"I had a good six games before I got injured and I am just raring to go again," he said. "Hopefully I can get back in as soon as possible.
"I got sent off in the game before S****horpe so it is a learning curve and I did not expect to get straight back in. Hopefully as soon as possible I will be back and I have got to take my chance as soon as it comes.
"I have enjoyed my time here and I think the injury slowed me down, which was disappointing and then I got sent off. I am just hoping to get in for the rest of the season and try and get as many games as possible.
Boss Johnson backed Parrett to shine between now and the end of the season but said he would have to work hard to reclaim a starting berth.
"He is in our thoughts," said Johnson. "He has missed out because he got taken off, he got sent off and then he did not play in the next game.
"He knows that everybody has got to work to get back into the first team, especially when things are going well, and he is no exception."

HARRY KANE (Millwall) 20.03.2012 vs Doncaster Rovers (A) 3-0 (W) Championship (Round 38)
Back in the starting line-up along with Keogh and Henderson and scored with a long range effort from 35 yards to make it 2-0.
Harry Kane doubled the lead with a speculative strike from distance that deceived Carl Ikeme.
Ikeme failed to keep out a powerful long-range effort from Kane that appeared to go through the hands of the goalkeeper.
It was 4-4-2 with Kane on the left.
Kane is a very talented young player more talent than Lowry or Keogh IMO.
I'd also add that Kane is the sort of player I'd be prepared for us to spend a fair bit on.
Money dictates a lot but Kane for me seems to have a good attitude and getting games and the opportunity to be the star man in our side as a big factor in terms of us getting him on a season long loan next season.
Kane's goal was an absolute cracker.
Kane is quality would love us to hang on to him.

JONATHAN OBIKA (Yeovil) 20.03.2012 vs Charlton Athletic (A) 0-3 (L) League One (Round 38)
Dropped after his poor game against Walsall.
I think Obika needs to play. When he does Andy Williams gets more involved in the game, he's only been on this scoring run since Obika returned from injury.
When Obika plays Andy Williams does better but maybe it was a tactical move to drop him tonight especially with games coming thick and fast.
