I've described him before as the turd that won't flush. Every time he gets dropped something happens and he finds himself back in the mix. Now with Prince gone, Wheater out it looks like he's here to stay.
Is he the worst defender we've ever had? For me I will always think Zak Knight was a level above. He made being in the wrong place an art form. There may have been players like El Cid who came and went but in terms of long stayers I'd cite these two as being the worst ever.
Have we got any options, seriously we're playing with a (-2) handicap every time this guy takes to the field. I don't want to pile too much praise on Holding because he is a still unproven and there may be mistakes down the road but his performances must show that sometimes these kids are worth gambling on. We have Taylor, Finney and could even mix it up with Moxey bringing in Twardzik and of course Derick.
I really think that in all likelihood Dervite will be in the team against Rotherham, but he would be on the last chance. Whether the manager chooses to tell him that or not would be all down to man management.

Had you been at Wolves ,Ooooom, you would have been appalled by Dervite's distribution. Time and time he just launched the ball to an opponent. It wasn't his worst game but in my opinion he is slow and soft. For every good thing he does he adds two bad.
Zat Knight was miles better than Dervite!! Yes we remember Zat's high level blunders and his losses of concentration, even a handful of own goals but Dervite is a class beneath. Cid was pretty bad and ditto Meite and Fish defensively but when I think back even as far as the likes of Winstanley, Seagraves and Came they and nearly all their successors were far better than Dervite.
In my opinion Neil blunders every time he picks him and yes any or all of those mentioned are potentially better. Derik has been out of favour too long. I hope he has some confidence left.
