Huddlestone returned to Derby County from Hull City in July.
Derby County fans have expressed concerns over Tom Huddlestone’s ability after Tuesday’s 1-0 home defeat against Ipswich Town.
Derby paid around £2 million to bring Huddlestone back to Pride Park during the summer transfer window (Transfermarkt), 12 years after he left the Rams for Tottenham Hotspur.
But his homecoming has not lived up to many supporters’ expectations, and several are calling for the 30-year-old to be dropped in favour of George Thorne against Burton Albion on Saturday.
Here’s how they’re reacting to Huddlestone’s Ipswich display…
Callum Connolly’s fifth-minute header was enough to secure Ipswich all three points at Derby, who remain three points clear of seventh place.
After the game, Derby announced that Huddlestone’s midfield partner Joe Ledley has signed a new 18-month contact, having impressed since signing for the Rams in September.
Tuesday was Ledley’s first defeat in 10 appearances for his new club, who may have faced competition for his signature from Sunderland, according to the Daily Mirror.
The 30-year-old played under new Sunderland boss Chris Coleman for Wales’ national team.
