Team vs Derby

This won’t be the team for Derby but confident it will be for Preston :)

Bentley
Nico, Mepham, Bjelland, Barbet
Kamo, McEachran, Sawyers
Flo, Marcondes, Canos

Maybe Woods needs a bit of a rest and have feeling Watkins will be gone.

Best save it for the Preston H line up thread
 

Team vs Derby

Ahaha I’m quite clear thanks but just so you know for next time, this thread is not a prediction thread. Did you not understand that?

There is absolutely positively no chance of Watkins leaving. I’m certain of it.

Eh? This is obviously my team for Derby or I wouldn’t have posted.

I don’t think this will be the team starting but hoping after Derby it will be the team for Preston. Is that alright, am I allowed to mention Preston or are there strict rules in place not to discuss future games?

You’re lucky he only swore at you, he’s promised me he’s going take action against me, I’m getting in touch with Sonofabee Protection Services, part of Sonofabee Consultancy Services group, friend to the stars and with no affiliation to any fanzine.

The real question is... Are you independent?

That useless Foundation Degree in Counselling seems to be useful after all.
 

Team vs Derby

Given their league position when they played us at GP and where they are now, I think it is inconceivable that they'd play anything like they did here at home now.

All Rowett's teams sit deep. I agree it is inconceivable they will be as negative as they were are GP, but they will not be particularly expansive and set up as difficult to beat. We will have next to no chance of scoring if we set up with three DMs.

Who knows? We did pretty well away at Boro with Woods, Mokotjo and Yennaris in the middle and perhaps would have held on for the win had we not gone more expansive (they equalised shortly after we brought Sawyers and McEachran on). At home against Derby we played Woods, Yennaris and Sawyers but didn't score until after McEachran replaced Woods.

But Yennaris is not playing as a DHM, he's box-to-box, quite attacking and has scored 4 with 2 assists. That's more than the sum of the other three.

Derby haven’t won at home this season when they have conceded. First and foremost they will look to keep a clean sheet.

Think Flo / Canos combination best used as direct subs, options of putting Watkins up top with McLeod replacing or bring Maupay on.

Maybe Dallsgard for Archibald, but I don't see any other out of this world picks.

yeah its only the strongest squad we have ever had :rolleyes:
 

Team vs Derby

Time to shuffle the pack a bit for me, as Maupay seems short of confidence if he starts and Watkins has gone off the boil. Also time to give Canos a proper run: pre-season it looked like he would probably be the main creative force going forward. Injuries scuppered that, but I think it's time to get him up to full speed again. So:

Bentley
Nico/Djalsgaard Mepham Bjelland Barbet
Woods Mokotjo/Nico
Sawyers
Canos Marcondes Judge
 

Team vs Derby

The gamble is in the front 3. Will Derby come out and attack or will they sit deeeeeeeep and try and counter.

If the former then a front 3 of Canos, Watkins, Flo might be effective. If the latter then Watkins, Marcondes, Judge might have more guile in less space.

I agree , i bet DS and co have had similar discussions.

That`s what i`d go with.
Maybe Henrik for Nico if he`s fit enough for 90, with Nico in for Kamo if that`s the case

This has the look of the team DS would pick. Quite conservative. Dalsgaard reintroduced, Watkins rested, no panic about Maupay starting or to introduce Judge or Marcondes before they're ready. Balanced subs bench where most could come on in more than one role (I might put Clarke instead of Macleod on that basis).

I reckon Maupay will start scoring bucket loads with Judge & Sawyers feeding him.

Bloody hell this is difficult. Harsh to drop Nico, but I feel we may need Dalsgaard's height if he is fit to play, and Kamo has played well enough for me to keep his position. Ollie looks tired, and couldn't find space for Macleod or Egan. If Dalsgaard can't play, Egan to go on bench.
