Just seen his statistics for the Derby and cannot believe the engine on this kid. 57 tackles only 2 missed, however on the flip side he only managed 7 scoots/carries making 57 meters.
I thought (likewise with K.R with Tommy Lee) that when Litten came on he sped things up and changed the dynamics.

How many of you F.C supporters agree with me that if you spelled Houghton more with Litten, gave Houghton a proper rest than he would benefit greatly and have far more impact on games???

Only 3 other players made more dummy half runs than Houghton and 1 of them was Pelisier who will scoot at least once a set.

I thought we looked at our best when Houghton went to first receiver as we spread the ball quicker and wider with him there instead of it been Hadley who was playing that role in the 1st half.

It was also interesting to see that we had 4 out of the top 6 for marker tackles given how everyone thought it would be Rovers playing a expansive game and FC playing a safety first barge down the middle game.

You should have noticed Jamie Shaul taking the ball up from a play the ball a lot more.Its something Radford started last season and obviously designed to reduce the workload on Danny Houghton.Thats the reason we are seeing less running from Danny.
There is a noticeable change in Jez Litten this season and if he continues to develop his body weight and with regular game time we may have a really good player on our hands.

Litten is like lightning out of dummy half. Really hope he gets a lot more game time because he injects so much speed into our game.

With reduced interchanges this isn't practical.

You could argue that Houghton's workload will be even greater because the forwards around him will tire sooner.

indeed, reduced interchanges is one of the few changes I disagree with (possibly the only one.

I like Litten and I quite like Houghton at 13, think it works well

Me to , westerman would be handy interchange in the 2nd row to, thought houghton looked more dangerous then ever and chose a lot of smart passes, Seinfeld esk!!!!

Heremia and Houghton was a great combination.
