Recommended Posts

Let's say hypothetically we sign all of our targets and any other realistic players what would your perfect team for next season be?

This is mine:

               Carson

Wisdom Keogh Shackell Forsyth

              Thorne  Hughes

Ince          Weimann         Russell

                 Martin

Backup keeper: Grant

Back up right backs: Baird, Keogh(only in an injury crisis)

Back up centre backs: Albentosa,Pearce,Buxton(we had 5 centre backs last season)

Back up left backs:Warnock,Baird

Back up defensive mids: Baird,Bridcutt, Bryson

Backup wingers: Dawkins, Calero, Weimann(can move to the wing if needed)

Backup attacking mids: Bryson, Dawkins, Hughes(can move further up if needed)

Backup strikers: Bent, Bennett?

 

Players out: Roos(loan), Christie(loan), Shotton(sell), Rawson(loan), Max Lowe(loan), Hendrick(sell), Sammon(sell)

What would your "perfect" but realistic squad for next season be?

So you'd keep Bryson over Hendrick? Don't understand that. Bryson was really poor last season, has 4 years left on his contract and is rapidly approaching 30. If we can get out from that contract, I'd jump at it.

I'd also get rid of Warnock. He isn't and never will be a Derby player.

Think you're forgetting to sprinkle in some exciting loan talent.

I'd sell Hendrick because I think we could get a decent fee for him since he is still young. You're right I'd sell Bryson if someone came in for him but I don't think anyone will pay his wages.

...........................carson.

baird.......keogh......pearce......forsyth

......................thorne

russell...........hughes.........weimann

.............bent...........martin

that seems to be what we've got so far.

We still need another no9 and cover for Thorne

i'm not sure that it is substantially stronger.

I wouldn't have alot of changes immediately, as we need some stability, we might have had preseason but 

last thing we want is to take 3/4 weeks to gel!

 

Based on that I'd expect to see something like:

 

Grant

Christie  Keogh  Shackell/Pearce  Forsythe

Thorne   Hughes

Ince  Weimann  Russell

martin

 

If no Shackell/Ince  then

 

Russell  Weimann Hendrick  or even   Russell  Martin  Weimann

              martin                                                 Bent

I like the look of that. Do you think weve signed Baird to play as a right back then? I was hoping we'd get a better quality right back in. Hopefully one of our season long loans will be a RB from a premier league side

Let's say hypothetically we sign all of our targets and any other realistic players what would your perfect team for next season be?

This is mine:

               Carson

Wisdom Keogh Shackell Forsyth

              Thorne  Hughes

Ince          Weimann         Russell

                 Martin

 

A few points to be made here:

  • Why Carson over Grant? Despite errors towards the end of last season, Grant outperformed Carson in this league.
  • We saw at the beginning of last season Hughes is ineffective in any sort of holding role so why play him there when he is far more effective further upfield?
  • Wisdom isn't a target yet (that we know of)
  • We looked poor when we played 4231 last season so why would we utilize it this season?


Mine would look something like:


                                                                 Grant

                                   Yedlin    Albentosa         Shackell     Forsyth

                                                               Thorne

                                               Hughes                  Hendrick

                                  Ince                                                  Weimann
                                                                Martin


Bench: Carson, Keogh, Baird, Bridcutt, Bryson, Russell, Bent

agree with the Grant comment. for a season and a half he's been one of the best keepers in the division, ok he dropped a few clangers in the important last few months but the whole defence was dreadful that must of played on his mind let alone as mentioned on the meeting of mel morris thread that he was playing with a knee injury so wasn't even fit.

     Grant

Christie..........Keogh........Pearce.........Forscyth

Thorne

                                                                    Ince.....................Hughes

Wiemann

                                                                    Bent.........................Martin

 

With one of the two midfielders dropping back when the other goes forward and controlling the play with thorne, martin dropping back to pick up the ball more often and bent staying ahead of him looking for the pass. Weinmann linking it all together in the middle. Many options on the bench with Russell and hendrick to change things up.
