I love this team, other than Huddlestone, who I have no idea how he managed to keep his place, again. Great to see Buchanan and Knight from the start though!

I'm with you. Although I've always felt like we haven't got the most of what Hudds is capable of. 

He's immensely talented but has barely got above a 7/10 in terms of performance whilst being here and maybe Cocu sees something that he can get more from. 

 

[Dordogne-Ram]

3 academy players in back four.

Plenty of steel on the bench if needed.

No CM  or Zoon in squad.

If Clarke was starting and Bielik in midfield for huddlestone, I’d be very happy. Seems that Cocu really loves Huddlestone. 

This.

[DCFC1388]

41212? Lawrence behind the front 2 maybe

Good luck to the new young lads today and lets hope all goes well as this could damage there confidence if we get tonked

This selection just shows how far we are in Cocus mind of what we have in terms of decent playing staff

He feels like he consistently underperform, do those shitty chipped angle passes that go through to the keeper every time, slow the play down in the midfield, refuse to play simple as opposed to doing a hollywood pass attempt every time. It winds me up watching Hudds play, tbh. He could do with taking a leaf out of John Eustace's book of keeping the game ticking over and keeping simple.

I like the look of that formation. Interested to see if it is that.

[King Kevin]

Well at least the young un's can move a bit quicker so that's a positive.

[Rampant]

I see 4-4-2 with the midfield diamond. Can anybody confirm PC's plans?

In the words of Alan Partridge: balls out of the bath on this one Lynn.

To paraphrase Partridge,

Derby are the team PSV Eindhoven could have been.

[Mr. P]

Well if you want to tinker about with formations & personnel then August is the month to do it. It's still pre season really. 

[hintonsboots]

You’ll win nothing by tinkering with youngsters.

Claudio Hansen 1996.

[Pearl Ram]

I think the lads owe Cocu a performance today, I wouldn’t have played Huddlestone myself but I’ve got to bow to Cocu’s superior knowledge. 

Best of luck to the young lads starting today. COYR ? 

[Millenniumram]

Could be...

Roos

Lowe Keogh Bielik Buchanan

Huddlestone 

Knight Dowell

Lawrence

Waghorn Marriott 

 

 

Narrow Diamond
