Shinnie Bird Waghorn Lawrence Marriott Martin Ignoring the fact that Wisdom wasn't available for selection Man Utd would have scored 5+ against the lineup, imo. Slow as anything and a collection of our worst passers. Then even if we changed how we play and became very compact, we would've still conceded like a sieve because you've got a truly terrible shot stopper being peppered by long range shots. We'd have spent the whole game booting the ball over the top for Marriott to chase, unable to string more than 2 passes together unless the ball was given to Martin by a Man Utd player with us already in their half.

I’m not joking mate we payed lip service to that game last night. Man U no great shakes this season and they didn’t even break sweat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IslandExile Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 Given (registered?) Davies Keogh(still ours?) Wisdom (sick or not) Forsyth Shinnie Holmes (on one leg) Rooney Waghorn Martin Jo-Flo I didn't know who is the oldest between Jo-Flo, Marriott and Lawrence. You could have Hudds in place of Holmes or Keogh - he played at the back under Burley but may be controversial on here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd put Wisdom in for Evans if he was fit. Put Holmes in for Knight if he was fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sibley will be good if he can keep his head . Knight is ok of course he is. The Club is at a crossroad with people saying next season will be brilliant due to Academy. I hope it’s the case but it’s by no means certain with FFP and EFL charges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we all agreed with each other what is the point? The key to a happy forum existence is to accept that sometimes your opinions may fall on the minority side or the majority and that this little corner of the internet is very much a small minority of the fan base. All this “I’m not allowed an opinion” is nonsense, unless your opinion goes against our forum guidelines. That's your opinion! ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People are looking to the academy as the hope next season can be something. You're correct that FFP & EFL charges/restrictions are absolutely flying in the face of Derby County. This club can't spend their way out of the division and will get three new teams relegated with huge parachute payments that will naturally get a head start over us.

TheresOnlyWanChope Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 The only thing I didn't like about team selection was when I saw Forsyth at centre back. But he had a fairly good game so can't complain. No one disgraced themselves last night. Some good performances and I thought we defended really well as a unit first half.

I didn't hit her and even managed a watery smile as I politely disagreed (through gritted teeth). I was rather disappointed myself that I didn't see her again after the game! was it Mrs Shinnie? ?

I will leave it at that thanks. Agree or disagree your one of the most respected posters. Always entertaining and makes us smile. I’m not getting involved in the ins and outs or rights or wrongs. I’m just staying out of it. A mistake not to play Martin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
