We've only lost Martin and added quite a few other attackers that should contribute as well. Somehow i don't think we will miss the 2 league goals scored by Marriott. Waghorn and Lawrence are both back in full training. Time will tell.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think those players will still score a fair amount, but i'm not expecting us to set the world alight this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyinLiverpool Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 I notice the people who'd rather be right than for Derby to be successful are out in force this evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ted McMinn Football Genius Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 Not so sure this is the time to answer that question. With self imposed limited options up front and limited options at left back, whilst we have several excellent players due to return from injury. Those same players also have in recent history had pretty poor injury and disciplinary records too. As it stands, it doesn’t look too good does it! Hope I’m wrong though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. I'm just less and less convinced Cocu knows how to put the bits together to get the best from them. Will he make the best out of them or will he make them play to a system that he wants?

Van der MoodHoover Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 I put 11th to 14th although that may be a tad harsh....I'd revise that upwards in January if the striker situation was a longer term masterplan to bring in Serdar the Turk. Like last season our start has been completely shot away by player turnover, availability and adapting as we go. I'm confident results will slowly improve.

LeedsCityRam Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 I've gone for 7th to 10th but am hoping for slightly higher. We're only 5 games in & wonder if the advanced date in relation to games played is skewing perceptions somewhat. Last Christmas, we were just ahead of the bottom 6 but 15 games later, were a win from going top 6 with 6/7 to play. The key to that was getting our best team out (Clarke back from injury, Rooney starting & youth ready to start). We're in a similar position this season, treading water until the key quality (Lawrence, Ibe, Duncan, Jozwiak, CKR, Sibley) are either matchfit or fully integrated. Bielik is also another imminent big addition. Honestly believe we're on the cusp of a major turnaround. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayram Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 Around 15th if we’re lucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny old world That's clutching at straws right there I suppose #desperation Even with the new and injured players coming back in I do worry that Cocu is going to struggle to change and adapt enough to get them working.
