jimbo jones Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 Surprised people want to leave Ledley out for this, exactly the type of team I'd want him out there. Before we can play football we need to stand up to the "physicality" Millwall will no doubt show. Or they will just kick us off the park as usual.

Sparkle Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 Same team as last week for me this is the game that is perfect for Johnson to exceed in, the only starting change for me maybe use Martin instead of nugent but there is not much in it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not flashy just 100% competant. He'd always be a starter for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninos Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 This is a perfect chance for Thorne to come in, possibly give Wisdom a game too (over the amazing Bairdinho). Millwall are one of the least attacking threat sides we’ve faced but one of the most defensively resilient. So although there’s a serious selection headache at the wing positions for Rowett here - how do you keep Johnson (dominant/goal scorer) and even Russell (goals) out? - but you need to go with your attacking creators v that defence - Lawrence Weimann backed by GT are who I think he ultimately picks - aware of milwalls stinginess and lack of goals. And I’d bet that Johnson v Lawrence is in his mind one of his hardest selection choices he’s had to make this season - but the opponent will determine it. Up front it’s Vydra and Nugent but You have to think Winnall will play a role Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinder Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 It tough enough to pick the bench let alone the starting 11. If we start with the team that beat Villa the bench could be Mitchell, Wisdom, Thorne, Lawrence, Russell, Martin and say Winnall. That still leaves Bent, Pearce, Ollson, all the kids, Shackell and Anya. Great problem to have but it does show how much we need to trim down the squad, otherwise the likes of Luke Thomas, Mason won’t ever get a look in.

EulogyForEvolution Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 Carson Baird Keogh Davies Forsyth Thorne Ledley Weimann Vydra Johnson Martin Mitchell, Wisdom, Huddlestone, Russell, Lawrence, Nugent, Winnall I think we'll need quite a physically strong side for this one. I'd also go for Martin and Thorne because I think they are going to play for a draw, and they are both players who can use the ball well and unlock a defence.

JuanFloEvraTheCocu'sNesta Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 Tough match this, will likely be a bit of a slog. Confident of a result though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CapeTownRams Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 This is really tricky game for the Rams and has all the makings of a banana skin- particularly given Millwall’s recent string of good results. They have a great record against the top 6 clubs. It will be physical for sure and to me that means that Bradley plays whether Tom is fit or not. If they score first then this could be very awkward for us. We need an early goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inverurie Ram Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 We need a repeat performance from our wonderful fans, make a load of noise before, during and after the game, be patient, be loyal, be noisy, and keep the opposing fans quiet and send them back south as quickly as possible, and enjoy another fantastic Saturday of Derby County Football Club.

Agree with this 100 percent, let's get pride park rocking, like against Villa, if it's a tight game, let's all keep behind the team, and drive them onto victory, and let's us all enjoy our Christmas with another 3 points. Merry Christmas and a happy new year to all members of this forum. Once a Ram always a Ram. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DesertRam Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 We can't be slipping up in games like this one, we need to reach another dimension to knock Cardiff out of our rightful place. Christ, just noticed its 4.30 here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jono Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 Lawrence fit but my guess bench. I'd Sort of like to see George get a start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
