Savage cuts to Rams playing staff

Robbie Savage injured or just "ineffective"?
After last weekends poor performance against Wigan, Paul Jewell threatened action before this Saturday's game against Sunderland.

One of the casualties may well be team Captain Robbie Savage. The 33-year old was described as ineffective by Jewell but also defended his Captain by adding that he has been playing on through injury which has pulled his performances down.

It is felt that Savage may be left out and allowed to recover from his niggling injuries before his confidence is eroded with some of the Rams supporters starting to get on his back.

Other players who failed to impress the Rams manager may also find themselves given a spell on the bench or in the stands as the defeat by Wigan was described as "unacceptable"...
