Swap Smith for Hourihane and I think that's pretty much bang on -

Agreed... This squad should be winning this league on paper. We all know football isn't played on paper, but we can and should be playing better and that's mainly due to how PW sets the team up -

This is going to end up 1 scrappy goal either way, I can feel it! -
Are we pretending this isn't happening then?

That's their good run ended on Saturday then 😉🤣 -

If Bird's back, I'd get him straight back in... Wildsmith Wilson Nelson Cashin Sibley Smith Adams Mendez-Laing Bird Blackett-Taylor Collins A weird mix of excited and nervous for this one... if Wycombe have indeed been trying to change their style of play this season, that could play into our hands!

Both squads struggling with injuries... 3rd place home record v 3rd place away record in the league this season... this really could go either way! -

Academy product. Impressed at centre-back in the U18s and an England youth international. -

Wildsmith Smith Nelson Cashin Elder Robinson Adams Sibley Wilson Blackett-Taylor Collins Smith at RB as I'd say he'd be more solid defensively than either Ward or Wilson. Robinson to debut at DM to screen the back 4 (he'd be the best at doing this out of everyone available IMO... also allows Ebou to use his energy further up the pitch). Wilson at RW as he seems to be able to take people on at will. Give Collins 45mins (or up to 60 if he's fit enough) then sub for Waghorn or Washington. COYR 🐏 -

Hope we get the time added on that should be given... should be at least 9mins after the amount of timewasting we've seen this half! -

Adams off and not Hourihane? Questionable choice! -
Match Thread: vs Northampton Town (a)
Black ('n' White) Sheep replied to Rampant's topic in Derby County Forum
Hourihane off for Smith and (harsh on him as he's done alright, but someone would have to be sacrificed to change system) Thompson off for CBT at half time. Think someone (CBT) a bit wider on the left would give Sibley a bit more freedom to get forward too... everything seems to be coming down the right and that's because NML and/or Waggy naturally drift towards that side leaving the left a bit open. -

My thoughts exactly... even more confusing as we seem to have shifted from 3-4-3 to 3-5-2 instead of just slotting him in instead of Barkhuizen. Oh well... still a strong line up and fully behind the lads to do a job. Plenty of energy in the middle with Adams and Thompson in there alongside Hourihane. -

Outside of our own players, Mason Melia looks to be one hell of a prospect! -
Summer transfer suggestion thread
Black ('n' White) Sheep replied to sage's topic in Derby County Forum
I don't think we necessarily need as many signings as some are suggesting... 3-4 quality first team additions then some U21 additions. Areas I'd be looking to strengthen (obviously some are promotion dependent): Midfield Needs some work as we're losing Bird and Hourihane will potentially go into coaching. Ebou Adams on a permanent is an obvious one to make happen! Maybe need one or two more... Idris El Mizouni is coming to the end of his contract at Ipswich in June (not sure if Orient have an option to buy though); Lewis Travis has been on loan at Ipswich since January and only played the full 90 once (Blackburn might want to keep him though and even if he would be available he'd cost a fee) or, a younger option, Tim Iroegbunam on loan from Villa. All tough tackling midfielders that put a shift in. Out wide We have decent options in NML, CBT and Barkhuizen already. A left-footed option would give us something different though. Jesurun Rak-Sakyi hasn't played much for Palace this season (although he has been injured for a couple of months) and was great for Charlton last season; he might be available for loan. Karamoko Dembele has been on loan at Blackpool this season from Brest and has been impressive; another loan spell in England with us might be tempting. Permanent-wise, Femi Azeez from Reading. Up front We've needed a younger option for a few years now... and, if we do have funds, this has to be an area to prioritise. Sinclair Armstrong from QPR... not a prolific goalscorer (yet) but has all the attributes to be one with the right service (strong, tall, quick, good in the air); I fully expect QPR to take up the option on his contract though so would only really have a chance there if they went down. Will Lankshear on loan from Spurs... been on fire for their U21s and they might want to get him a loan for some senior experience. Lastly, a bit of a 'left-field' one, but Macauley Langstaff is a natural goal scorer... Notts (the black and white ones 😉) have no chance of getting promoted now and I'd be interested to see if he could make the step up. We've also got Dajaune Brown coming back after his loan spell too. -
