Boro (H) Match Thread

[Anag Ram]

In memory of attacks which took place many years ago. 

[Rampant]

Not what I expect but:

---------------------------Marriott----------Martin----------------------

---------------------------------------Holmes-------------------------------

Malone--------------------------------------------------------------Bogle

----------------------------Shinnie-----------Knight----------------------

------------------Evans----------Bielik------Davies--------------------

----------------------------------------Hamer--------------------------------

 

Roos / Wisdom / Forsyth / Sibley / Paterson / Mitchell-Lawson / Whittaker

 

No place in the 18 for Lawrence, Bennett or Waghorn. Sell all three if possible in January.

I'd rather have Holmes, Knight or Paterson in the advanced central role so no place for Dowell.

Paterson and Mitchell-Lawson offer wide options should we switch to 4-3-3 whilst Whitaker is better I believe as a striker so he can cover the top two.

When I pick my preferred line up I realise how average our squad is. Big couple of windows coming up where our recruitment and decision making simply must be spot on.

I think that's a reference to this Derby side isn't it? ?

Lawrence has been one of our best players in these past couple of games, since the incident hes been a different player.

Can only guess that you'd drop him due to your agenda against him? If so, fair enough, everyone has the right to an opinion, however he's been a lot better than most in the past couple of games.

 

Evans is still injured too if i remember correctly...

 

Also dropping Lowe? Come on!

 

Dowell was good on saturday and when he came off the team fell apart, Holmes hasn't been himself recently either.

[DCFC Kicks]

                     Hamer

          Bielik   Davies  Clarke 

 Bogle     Evans   Shinnie     Lowe

                     Holmes

             Marriott   Martin

But considering he won't change formation...

                     Hamer

Bogle     Bielik     Davies    Lowe

              Evans     Shinnie

Holmes      Lawrence     Paterson

                    Martin

[Edtheram]

Could play 4-1-2-1-2 (the diamond) when attacking.....

                        Hamer

Bogle       Davies       Clarke       Malone

                         Bielik

       Holmes                       Shinnie

                       Paterson

             Martin             Marriott 

 

Then could switch to a 3-5-2 when defending to counter the oppositions wide men.....

                                     Hamer

                  Davies          Bielik        Clarke

Bogle         Paterson     Shinnie     Holmes         Malone

You just know we'll win this game now, don't you. Poohouse County.

Play like the last home game and you'll beg for no more football.

I’m nowhere near that point yet, not even close. Should be an interesting game with Boro’s completely giving up on defending since Pulis left. 

They will give us space, just have to exploit it, definitely a game I would be looking to start Marriott.

Up from Bristol and staying in Baslow. Lovely Peak District treat for the wife.

Casually dropped in that we might be at home then extolled the virtues of Derby shopping.

Personally I'd disagree with that. I think he's looked bright without actually being good and causing a fair few problems  in the team. Namely wasting good opportunities with bad decision making, not exploit space out wide when available and not showing for the ball when the left back has it.

That back 3 would be pretty exploitable as Clarke hasn't got the pace to cover the wing back and Bielik has a tendency to just switch off. 

If Evans is fit I'd be tempted to go with 

                  Roos 

       Evans Davies Buchanan

                   Shinnie 

Bogle   Holmes   Dowell/Paterson Lowe

              Martin   Mariott

Baslow is a cracking place, the Devonshire Arms is great, well all 3 are (Baslow, Beeley and Pilsley).

You lucky thing, have a great time.

I'm in the Devonshire now. 

Seems really nice.

Don’t forget, if where you’re stopping isn’t within walking distance get a taxi for Christ sake. ?

[Anag Ram]

I'm just thinking what would Tom and Mason do? 

Don't worry. We're in the car and sober.

Absolutely love listening to this man. Praying that things start turning around for him because he's handled everything thrown at him fantastically.

Great interview. He looks like he's really *feeling* it at the minute. C'mon you Rams do it for The Boss! #WeareallDerby
