needles Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 Opening day last season: This season?01 Grant Grant03 Forsyth Forsyth05 Buxton Shackell06 Keogh Keogh02 Christie Baird04 Bryson Thorne08 Hendrick Hendrick19 Hughes (Mascarell - 53' ) Hughes11 Russell (Ward - 64' ) Weimann09 Martin Martin 07 Dawkins (Best - 79' ) InceSubstitutes10 Ward Russell14 Eustace Christie17 Whitbread Pearce18 Sammon Bent21 Roos Carson30 Best Dawkins 33 Mascarell BrysonThe team is better in key areas, the squad is immeasurably better as show by the bench. Then think who isn't even in that squad..Saint Bucko for instance. We're going to take some stopping surely? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gandalf's shin pads Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 With the quality of the squad at our disposal this season I am deliberating over two different formations for the coming season:-Home- 4 1 3 2 (I realise that we have not experimented with this one. I just think it utilises what we have!) GrantBaird Keogh Shackell Forsyth Thorne Ince Hughes Weimann Martin Bent Away- 4 2 3 1 GrantSsewankambo* Keogh Shackell Forsyth Baird Thorne Ince Hughes Weimann Martin * Based on what I have seen/read in pre season Prediction vs Bolton:- Bolton 0-2 Derby County (Weimann, Ince) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bris Vegas Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 Man will this game just hurry up already!The whole summer has gone so fast I've barely noticed the off-season, yet this week is dragging on with only a few days left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gandalf's shin pads Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 Yeah I entirely take your point. If I were to level another criticism at my selection it would be that I have no 'runner' (Bryson/Hendrick). I was just trying to think of an attacking formation at home that would make the most of the firepower and creativity in the squad Nice problems to have though. What we would all have given for a squad like this three years ago. Happy days... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninos Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 Seems obvious that Weimann should be playing centrally (behind or with Martin)and Ince should be playing wide left - hasn't last season pre season and weimanns experience at villa taught us that ? With jr and Ince wide and Weimann central attacking I'd think we would be lethal - the only counterpoint is that Weimann might track back better than Ince if played wide I guess but Im not buying that .

He's either been one of two centre forwards or behind the strikers. Having said that though Ince hasn't played much a wing himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looked in the highlights that every time he got the ball in an attacking position he was central though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RamLad1884 Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 Sorry if anyone's already asked, but much chance that there's gonna be a stream for the game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaintRam Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 Sorry if anyone's already asked, but much chance that there's gonna be a stream for the game? Probably a half decent chance. They'll be loads of places advertising it but the best place to look are the ones that group all of the streams into one list. If it's on more than one of those it's likely going to be streamed. I have a few decent sites I use, and if I find one when I look on Saturday I'll post it in here anyway. I try to avoid really digging, as that can lead to all sorts of malware issues lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tombo Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 Fair enough, I didn't go.Well there's your problem. If you don't go to a game,that's your prerogative, but don't jump to conclusions eh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't go to a game,that's your prerogative, but don't jump to conclusions eh?In fairness, he didn't play on the wing in any other game, no-one had talked about him doing so and no footage suggested he did. Therefore my assumption, although wrong was not a wild stab in the dark. And it was only one point of many that I was making that Animalisa rightly corrected. It's not like I was insulting anyone, or accusing anyone else of being wrong and Animalisa's correction doesn't need reinforcing in a bitchy manner by someone who wasn't involved in the conversation at all.

Bris Vegas Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 I wrote a quick piece on what system and personel Paul Clement should use for the trip to Bolton. I couldn't go into great detail because of time constraints, and I wanted to keep it as short and sweet as possible.http://www.hitc.com/en-gb/2015/08/06/graphic-why-paul-clement-should-select-this-derby-county-xi-vers/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
