Brentford v Derby County

Brentford aren't a hard-nut team so saving Eustace for late in the game might be wise. Time will tell!

 

Rams 2nd in the table due to Wolves gaining a point - but the Old Gold missed a chance, being held 0-0 by Brum.

 

Well done Rowett; can't have been easy to raise morale at Brum for that big local 'derby' after last week's pasting.

Also odd to have Coutts on the bench. With three midfielders there (Eustace and Hughes as well) we're limiting our attacking options in case we really need to chase the game. Bennett or Calero for me in case we want someone to bag us a goal.There's nothing Coutts can offer (yet) that isn't already covered by the other two midfielders.

Hopefully we won't need to chase the game, but if we do Hughes and Ibe are good guys to run at them for the last 30 minutes. Courts does of course play wide on the right, and perhaps offers more resilience if we need to hold on to a lead. Calero's turn will come, I do wonder whether Mason's has gone - at least for the next few months. We will win today.

From a stats point of view Bryson and Hendrick have been unbelievably bad.

 

Bryson recorded no tackles, no key passes, no shots, no nothing before going off.

 

But Hendrick is performing just as bad, completing only 70% of his passes.

 

Just seen Dawks has gone off. Should have brought Hendrick off, stuck Dawks in the middle and Ibe out wide.

Don't you know Bryson has never had a bad game and is a "great" player, apparently?  Mr Untouchable.
