Wisdom on for Bryson and go 5 at the back, can't seem to hold any shape whatsoever here

Looks like we're just going to try and outscore the opposition, two ball playing centre halfs with full backs probably better suited to wing back roles. At least if we lose we'll be entertaining when we do it.

Millwall 0-3 Derby fgs Waghorn

Remember one game last year (might have been the Leeds game I think) where he was spraying 40 yard passes all game. Think he has the ability, just needs to focus to keep spotting these passes.

4-0 Marriott fgs

I'm talking about midfield in general. The issue isn't one particular player, but the midfield three itself, it's balance is way off. Evans holding with Holmes and Mount as the creative runners would serve us well

We have Holmes, Huddlestone and Evans to still get game time yet, we don't need more signings, at least until the current crop settle in.

One cost £4 million rising, one cost £6 million rising. One has far more contributions than the other. One is 28, one is 30. One will be on far less wages than the other. Whichever way you look at it, we've come out better on the striker front. Plus we have a Marriott at our disposal, like to see them trump that one.

Not going to have both Lowe and Tomori on the bench, Tomori can cover the whole back four. Huddlestone hasn't trained either so I'd imagine Johnson or Evans will make the bench as will Holmes

Expectation is what we had when Clement spent stupid money. Now it's closer to cautious optimism. Lampard and Mel Morris have brought a us a new level of optimism, especially with the contrast of style to the Rowettball we were accustomed to. Personally can't say I expect anything out of this team except a hard working group playing attractive football, if that gets us promotion then great 👍

Good luck to him, absolutely atrocious for us, but I was one of the first to think he'd change it around this year. I'd imagine he's probably going to do well out there, fast and powerful he could potentially tear the league up.

Might be putting 2 + 2 together and getting 5 here, but Mel Morris said earlier today we were set to sign someone for several million, but they weren't coming because they were more interested in the money. It seems perhaps that player was Maddison, going by everything we've heard about him, it would certainly make sense.

Up to seven players could be making their debuts on Saturday, can't remember the last time we had so many. Waghorn in for Nugent? Malone in for Lowe? Evans for Ledley?

Was expecting to see him in a championship side again this season, league Two comes as a surprise. Take that how you want.

Liking the contrast Lampard is building here, Lowe and Malone are both very different players who'd suit different styles of play. Noticing the same across the team and it seems smart to have a plan B
