Derby County winger Tom Lawrence has been included in WhoScored.com’s Championship team of the week much to the surprise of these supporters.
The news has been met with total bemusement by this group of fans and they’re racking their brains to work out what it is that has seen their 26-year-old player selected.
Did Tom Lawrence warrant being selected in the Championship team of the week?
Yes
No
Surely this is a wind up

Absolute nonsense to say Tom Lawrence got into team of the week. Not had a good game for months. Probably Derbys most skilful” player but certainly the laziest in the team

What do we think?
The Welshman’s average performance rating this season is 6.86/10 according to WhoScored.com, but it seems they were particularly impressed with his recent display versus Hull City for which he was awarded an 8 out of 10.
The fact that his own supporters appear to be completely bemused by his inclusion certainly makes you think twice about whether it was deserved or not, but nonetheless he’s in there now.
Lawrence has made 24 appearances in the Championship this season scoring five goals and providing three assists. Regardless of the consensus amongst the fans, he remains an important player in Philip Cocu’s team having started 86% of their league fixtures this season.
