As much of a boring answer as this is, time appears to be the most obvious answer. The season is still young, and we created more chances tonight than we've often been accustomed to, which is the silver lining to a significantly worrying cloud of a dreadful rearguard display. Assuming that we are able to tighten up a little off the back of tonight's mistakes, and assuming that the partnership between Jutkiewicz and McDonald continues to improve, which seems logical enough, then we are by no means written-off. McDonald's biggest problem against Derby was being unable to read the secondary ball from Jutkiewicz and so was isolated; tonight he was very much involved and in some very dangerous positions. Should McDonald fail to deliver in three or four games time, we have a striker returning with a point to prove if he is to retain his Championship status in Freddy Eastwood, and if McSheffrey can find a vein of form then we can expect a few from midfield, too. There are still positives to glean from tonight, even if they seem superficial.
