Derby County F.C. v Barnsley F.C.

[1967Ram]

The starting 11 will  not matter today hopefully. With the right attitude and application we will beat Barnsley. COYR.

I’m just waiting for when he puts Pearce in the back 3 and moves Keogh into midfield, just to get that extra defender on the pitch.

That'll be when we're one down - there's goal difference to protect you know.

It’s not double standards, just a difference in opinion in how to get that win. 

Same line up what we saw v Cardiff, today the subs will be even more important with the heat. 

Hour in, seeing a fresh Vydra coming on that’s been sat in the shade is the last thing Barnsley will want to see.

We’ll see if it works, it has before, but double standards it’s not.

It may well work but I wonder if Barnsley drop their top scorer and player of the year and put him on after 60 minutes?

Anyway, to more serious issues. My commentary ain’t working for RD. just got a ‘spinning wheel’ of nowt on the screen! Anyone else having problems?

Fair enough. Hopefully we get the win, he shows me up to be an idiot and we all end up happy.

Wonder away but if we win, Rowett got it right as he did v Warnock when everyone ranted and mocked when the team was announced.

Throwing all eggs into the basket from the off gives us no room to change later on and take advantage of tiring legs. 

Ridiculously hot out there today, saving eggs is sensible, as fans we tend not to be. Let’s see how the 90 minutes goes.

It's easy Eddie - we're expecting an onslaught from a team scrapping for their lives. So we defend and absorb for 60 mins until they're cream crackered and sunstroked. Then we bring on the big guns and go for the win. 

I'm on board with the plan! Enjoy your pint safe in the knowledge that the play offs await ?

How are you trying to listen? Working through the clubs site, was listening on the RD site earlier as well fine but that will go off when the game starts

We’re in for a white knuckle ride this afternoon.

Not the team I'd have started but it's understandable. If we can get a relatively comfortable win without having to think about risking players like Vydra, then that'll be perfect. But as always, when it comes to arguing whether GR has picked the right team or not, hindsight will always win.
