It has to be said though that his tango at half time with Strictly Come Dancing partner Ola Jordan was the highlight of the evening on the pitch - thank God then for Adam Le Fondre.
Former Rotherham striker Le Fondre levelled twice for the Royals after Derby had gone ahead with goals from Theo Robinson and Tomasz Cywka and manager Brian McDermott's summer buy is now looking like a real steal at £350,000.
I had a chat with McDermott after the game and asked him whether Le Fondre had done much to adapt his game to the rigours of the Championship, but the manager said that there had been no need as the player was a naturally gifted footballer with and eye for goal and who worked hard for the team.
I have chatted to Adam a few times in recent seasons while he played for Rotherham and, in my opinion, there was no better striker in the bottom two divisions. He is a real poacher and if it hadn't been for a brilliant first half save from Frank Fielding last night, he would have notched up an eight yard header and ended up with a deserved hat trick.
Special mention to Meikle Leigertwood as well. It was the first time I had seen the lad play and in the first half in particular, I felt he controlled midfield.
And a final word about Robbie Savage. I'd like to appeal to all readers of this blog to vote for him and keep voting for him until he wins the Strictly Coming Dancing title. The longer he stays on the telly, the longer he stays off BBC's 606 show and the more I can enjoy my drive home after a game.
