Dammit.
Another match I can't avoid seeing.
"Sue, does the lawn want mowing or do you want me to wallpaper the shed?"
"No, you go to the match and enjoy yourself."
I married a sadist.

It’s Saturday and I find myself asking once again …. Will Louie sibley start?

Perhaps there’s a slope at the Shrewsbury ground? 

Are you suggesting inverted wingers? Isn’t that a bit complicated for League One?!

Unless I’m misremembering, Sibley played off the right hand side of the 3 behind the striker in the last game, scoring twice. Barkhuizen seems to mostly play down the left hand side. Warne seemingly has it in his head that Bird suits playing in the 10, so that’s what I think it’ll be. I might be wrong. They might rotate throughout the match, or it could be more of a 4-3-3 with Bird deeper and Barks/Sibley out wide either side of Collins. 
 
My personal opinion is that it suits Sibley playing off the right as he can then cut in on his stronger left foot and get shots away.

It’s a strong subs bench as well, no excuses today 

I know we're lacking real threats down the left but I don't think abandoning the area completely is the way to go

Ok. I could probably figure this out myself, but I thought it might be fun for others to help me out. 
 
I bought a t-shirt for my son and I wondered if someone could name all the Derby players that are on it (depicted as Subbuteo figures!) ….

I think that Sibley is probably the most natural goal scorer that we have in the squad, we need to give him more minutes in the league moving forward, particularly in home games. 

For the record. We’ve played well first half. Credit to Warne.

Fornah has been excellant. 

Agreed with other posters that smith has taken too long on the ball.
Nyambe has also been very good.

…. 5 years ago we beat Man U 8-7 on penalties to progress to the next round of the league cup.
It’s always worth remembering beating Man U.
Just saying.
 

I'd rather the EFL took the same view as the Premier League do to AFCON when dealing with League 1 and international breaks i.e. tough luck, play the games with players missing and get on with it.
One of the things I've really enjoyed about being in this God awful division is the regularity of Saturday afternoons and ability to plan your life.
