To give my thoughts on some of the players involved :
Missin must be a managers dream - he always creates something, and at the same time works his socks off defensively. The only criticism I can find against Missin is that he needs to add a few more goals to his name. Lacey on the other side is the exact opposite of Missin in terms of playing style. He combines a brilliant control of the ball with vision and creativity in a way I haven't seen from any U18 United-player in the last 20 years. He is still too lightweight and defensively he is poor - but if he improves that - then the sky is the limit
Victor Musa puzzles me - he really has all the qualities to be a good striker - but his inability to be at the right place at the right time raises a lot of questions. It's not so much that he doesn't score goals, as that he never even looks like he will score. At the moment I much prefer Ethan Wheatley up front, he is much more direct and looks a much bigger threat, but he is not as good in the hold-up play.
Finley McAllister is not a right back, he will never be a right-back and should be moved into midfield where he is much better. His performance yesterday before being moved into midfield was so poor that he was Derby's best player. To once play the ball straight into the legs of a Derby-player just outside your own box is bad - but to manage to do it 3 times in the space of 30 minutes ... now that takes shaky to a whole new level.
Ruben Curley was brilliant against Newcastle, yesterday he was all over the place. But I guess a bit of inconsistency is to be expected after being out so long as he has - but on his day he looks a really talented player. He wasn't helped a lot by Devaney who also had a day to forget yesterday.
Jack Fletcher looked really exciting - yes he made some small mistakes - but he got involved much more than Curley and Devaney did, and passed the ball around really nicely. He could be a player to watch closely in the next months.
Amass is a player I really like - his ball control is excellent and he is so quick. He actually has a lot of Evra - who also relied a lot on good technique and that extreme acceleration who took him past players. And what impresses me the most about him is that he came here just a month ago, and already now looks like he is ready to take the next step
