Darlow in for Derby and possibly stay there
Perry makes me nervous. Doubt the defence trust him. He's indecisive with most things and his kicking isnt great.
Doesnt really have any standout attributes, other than throwing the ball over the halfway line, though not quite sure what the point of that is.
A guy his size should be coming for & claiming everything. I wouldn’t be opposed to Darlow being put in again. What I will add about Perri is that I remember Rob Green being bang average. Then he turned into Prime Gordon Banks for a season. I have hope. He must have something about him.

Certainly needs to improve. We rarely have much luck with keepers. Very few decent ones over the years.

I think FA cup game will give Farke chance to justify Perri being dropped for rest of season. Darlow (or less likely Meslier) will play against Derby and as long he doesn't go play awful Farke will say he's retaining his place on form
That 4th goal gets worse the more I see it. He's actually tried to get power behind the palm, to get distance on the save. He wasnt merely just trying to reach it. He's swung his arm at it and misjudged.
If he just focused on getting there he could've just cushioned the ball dead and then smothered it as there wasnt much power on the shot.
I've just watched the MOTD highlights of the Newcastle game having seen nothing beforehand and I have two points to make.
1) Can we please sign Harvey Barnes who is a highly intelligent player who needs to stop scoring (8 now) against us.
2) What's all the fuss, noise about Perri after this game? He's NOT at fault for ANY of those goals.

What a load of bollocks!!! Complete and utter nonsense you're chatting here pal
The blame for their goal lies with the half arsed defending that allowed a strike on goal from 6, 7 yards out. Perri is lucky that he even got a hand to it.
Stop the problem at source. Nmecha should be doing better then there's two Leeds defenders that should block the shot.
It doesn't get near Perri if ONE of those three do THEIR job.
It’s not just this game or that last goal. For me, he’s not convincing. He seems ‘stiff’. It could be something as simple as he’s not settled and relaxed yet. For his size he should be dominating his area and coming for everything.
He may settle. I hope so. We spent enough on him. And for that money he must have something about him.
