Millenniumram Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 3 minutes ago, DarkFruitsRam7 said: Nah, pretty sure Davies is right footed. Just confortable on the left side. Tbf, I’ve always had the weird notion that Jack Grealish is left footed. I don’t know why. Ah fair enough, swap them round then, might actually be more balanced than I hoped! Was a bit of a stab in the dark but they may actually compliment each other. That’s that weird stereotype where we all think skilful players are left footed. I get that sometimes as well, duck knows why! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCFC Kicks Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 Hamer Bogle Bielik Clarke Lowe Hudd Shinnie Holmes Waghorn Martin Paterson - People wanting to play 2 up front, highly unlikely as Cocu has never played 2 up front in his entire career. - Use Marriott as an impact sub unless they can somehow find a way of playing him in left wing - Wouldn't play Huddlestone but he seems the first name on Cocu's team sheet for some reason - Would consider playing Davies as he's exactly the type of character we need on the pitch at the moment. Whether he'd cope physically is another question. - Really hope Shinnie at least makes the bench. Can't imagine what he'd feel like if he didn't and certain players did. He showed great leadership at Aberdeen which is what we need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millenniumram Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 Worth baring in mind that jutkiewicz literally always scores against us without fail, so we’re probably gonna need at least 2 goals for us here to get a win Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has 10 goals in 12 games for Coventry, Boro and Brum against us. The only team that he played against us and didn't score was for Bolton.

Comrade 86 Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 Not very good on systems but am wondering how this might work (or not!)... Roos Bogle Keogh Davies Lowe Holmes Bielik Knight Waghorn Martin Marriott Bielik to screen the back four and Chrissy Martin to sit just beyond Waghorn and Marriott and act as a pivot with balls played into feet for him to lay off. Not sure whether Chris' fitness levels would let him start a game but it'd be fun to watch what would be a pretty attacking line up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really! Nobody told me ? Brainfart obvs, meant to have Clarke in there but I'm obviously not coping well with the loss of our inspirational skipper.

Whoneedshuls Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 3–1 win let’s forget midweek antics and get that much needed win at home Bogle and Lowe at full back Paterson deserves a chance with Lawrence out give Martin a start and let’s go ?

Ellafella Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 This afternoon we’ll see if there is any character left in the players. We need a totally committed performance from the first whistle to the last. Brum are on a high and will be backed by 3,000 fans. Midfield is key. Martin must start with Marriott. I’d have Davies at CH and Bielik in Midfield. I suspect Cocu won’t do that though. It’s a real opportunity to move things on quickly and repay some of the damage done. Do the players have the balls? I’m not sure.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angieram Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 My only plea for today is that when the Birmingham fans start chanting about our players, we don't try and respond with some of the crass songs I've seen suggested on Twitter or here. Please keep it simple and about our club, not a few players. Let's focus on Derby County. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
