Got to have both Nico and Sawyers in midfield as they are our only 2 midfielders that score goals. So dalsgard at RB. Watkins up top.

Gonna be very interesting to see the team today. So many options. Smith, however, unlike his boss, is not really a gambler so I’d be very surprised if we don’t start with Maupay up top. DS’s comment this week was that it would be ‘horses for courses’ from now on with the options he has so looks like he’ll be picking the side for the oppo rather than having a ‘settled’ 11.. so probably more soldity than flair to begin with today

I'd go along with that. If Dalsgaard is filly fit, then I think the defensive combination of him, Mepham and Bjelland gives more potential and moving Nico into the box-to-box position gives us the best pressing, out of possession, and attacking support in possession. Derby seem to defend first and attack on the break, so we need to be sharp there. My only worry is their recruitment of Kasey Palmer but let's hope he hasn't settled in yet. I though he looked very sharp for Huddersfield and he'd really cause us problems in front of our defence.

Personally, I'd swap Sergi with Ollie. I think Sergi can cause more problems with central defenders while Ollie is better cutting in from deeper.

Marcondes has to start, he's a goal scorer we need goals simples

I agree. Except Maupay's younger than Ollie...

 

[Bangor Bee]

Have we really bought Marcondes to sit on the bench indefinitely, as some would prefer? If he cannot start now that Vibe has gone, when is he going to start?

....get back to the math 'young' rueben

I reckon that may well be the starting XI but think Sawyers will play as a false 9.
