Huddleston and wisdom will be great this season, and I agree with most posts, we have lots of so called wide players but no real wingers Saves (shot stopping) is totally different to handling (where the ball goes from the save) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it would require the right players in CM and out wide to support. Right now I don't think we have the right player to support what would effectively be a 442 It seems to me to be a perennial problem for us. We have now sorted out the defence and deep midfield. Much more balanced strong and tall ...with Fozzy and Wisdom back. Hudds gives the midfield some needed poise, strength and passing range. At this level the front line will score, but the AM link is, to my mind missing - Is it Bryson or Johnson ? A top drawer wide player would help of course, How do we prevent Martin being isolated ? No matter how good his link up / holding ability is, there has to be someone close enough to him and the middle of the park so that we are dangerous from the half way line to the edge of the box.

Alex W Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 As many others have suggested we're a top winger or two away from being standouts at the moment, we just don't have those players. Losing Ince is massive and there is thus far no replacement. We were quite content to sell Weimann for 2m, going into the season with him as a starter isn't the permanent plan I'm sure. Russell took his man on once and did well but he's not reliable enough. Weimann is a squad player, does the basics well and he's very unselfish but we have no top winger. It's no surprise to see Lawrence/Jota/Ojo banded about, I suspect we'll have one in before Friday. Just a feeling on that, no ITK magic. Out entire philosophy is now balls over the top and wide players slipped through on through balls while countering. If we have an intention of promotion this year we need players who can get through and make something happen, as of now we don't have anywhere near enough of that magic. Rowett will sort it.

Warren Hobhead Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 The starting XI will be THE starting XI next Friday unless we bring someone special in. That's my thinking. Saw nothing from the subs to suggest otherwise. Wisdom and Keogh the highlights for me. Butterfield and Johnson did little to further their claims, but Bryson was even worse when on. Glad to see Vydra back and scoring, but I don't get the feeling GR likes him. We'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However,,,neither massively eclipsed the other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well surely he must like him a little bit as he risked playing him when he'd only just returned to training on Friday? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derby blood Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 Enjoyed the game today, I agree with want Mr Rowett said in his after match interview, Wisdom is a beast of a man, and is so strong it's unreal, I have my new Bucko back in the Derby team, so good to see him back in a Rams top, will be a very important player for us this season, also thought Keogh, Huddleston and Carson had good games, can not wait for Friday now, and my prediction is 2-0 to derby goals from Martin and Davis from a corner.

BramcoteRam84 Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 I didn't go to the game today but a general point, If we end up playing 4-3-3 then the midfield have got to get up to support Martin otherwise he'll be isolated. This was Johnson and Butterfield's problem previously. Bryson gives you that. Trust Rowett to sort, but still think the 4-2-3-1 will best suit our current personnel.

Our midfield are always behind the ball. Even when we have it!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fairness he got embarrassingly skinned at least twice, and I'm a Fozzy fan. I prefer Lowe there but that's like a fantasy assuming he will ever play 3 games straight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
