I would have thought it'd be more like this:- Marshall Wisdom - te Wierik - Forsyth - Buchanan Bird - Shinnie Whittaker - Rooney - Knight Marriott Shinnie played on the left vs Birmingham which meant we had better cover when Buchanan pushed up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheikh n Bake Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 Holmes hasn't played so far due to a niggle in his quad. He says he feels ok and is good to get back involved though. Sounds like a precautionary measure more than anything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We know what we're getting from Bogle, Lowe, Davies, Sibley, Waghorn and Lawrence Marshall Wisdom te Wierik Fozzy Buchanan Bird Rooney Whittaker Knight Shinnie Marriott I get that but Davies has played the games and I'd imagine he'll play second half. It's not about not playing players cos you know what you're gonna get. It's about them getting minutes in to build up match fitness. If they don't play in pre season then they won't be playing first game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Srg Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 Hard to know what we are doing with these games. For all we know the players are intentionally being physically tired before playing to build that fitness. Remember us doing that in the past.

Animal is a Ram Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 They've signed that bamford Charlie Goode. Shame. No changes for Derby - expect they'll happen at 60ish minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't we do a double session before the game with Zenit? That worked well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MACKWORTHRAM Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 Is Buchanan overtaking Lowe do you think? He's clearly ahead of Malone and Forsyth in the left back pecking order Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's clearly ahead of Malone and Forsyth in the left back pecking order I think we can exclude Malone from any first team discussions now. I think Fozzy playing at CB is down to Cocu wanting him to be our backup to Clarke and moving there full-tie next season - with Lowe and Buchanan continuing to progress. Lowe ended last season with a small injury. He may still be recovering. With him recovering and Fozzy being tested at CB, Buchanan is the last man standing at LB. For me, I still think Lowe is our best LB. Next season it could be close between him and Buchanan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Topram Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 Trying to give Marriott as much time as we can. think over the last 2 games it shows we are in desperate need of 2 wingers/fast attacking players Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andicis Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 I do hope as some posters speculated at earlier that the likes of Lawrence and Sibley aren't injured and there is a reason they're not being included. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we've Sheff Utd up next and as someone has already suggested, Cocu will probably field something close to his starting eleven then I would expect Sibley and Lawrence to be in it.

I'm hoping they are injured with niggles, rather than Sibley being saved for a big money move. We need Sibley in that team to achieve what we want to this season.
