roboto Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 No space for Bird on the bench. Must mean they think Bielik is really ready and not just making up numbers. Have I missed any updates on Jozwiak? How long do they think he’ll be out for? Interesting to see how MtW does in a back 3 too. Hopefully it suits home better than a back 4.

Ghost of Clough Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 I'm disappointed he's put Rooney straight in after missing 2 weeks of football. Delighted Bielik is back and surprised Bird misses out. Everything else as expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Millenniumram Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 Great news to see Bielik back available, big day for him after so long out. Surprised Rooney is starting after only one days full training, but good to see Marshall back in goal. Rest of the team is as expected really.

roboto Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 I reckon CKR will get at least 30 mins today. I don’t see Rooney, Waghorn and Lawrence keeping up a high energy press. Would also prefer to see Sibley used as a sub instead of Holmes if possible ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rampant Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 I didn't even consider Rooney tbh. I thought I read when the story broke that he was going to miss three games (Forest, Cardiff and this one). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomTom92 Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 Rooney was always going to start once Jozwiak got injured. Would've been good to see whether he would've started if the polish magician wasn't cropped by Bacuna. Lets hope Wayne starts up top and leaves Knight to rat in the middle. te Wierik is an interesting selection lets hope he has a stormer on the way to a Derby win.

Hope it inspires him to work harder and come back better and not have a detrimental effect on his development. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramarena Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 Big chance for Dutch Mike let’s hope he takes it. Shame Keith’s out but hope he’s back midweek. Im ok with Rooney coming in to play CF if Keith’s out but I do worry he’s first name on the team sheet no matter what. Other than that it’s probably the best team available to us!

strawhillram Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 Welcome back Krystian. I’m optimistic we can take something from this. COYR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
May Contain Nuts Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 He might have be important for shoring us up but I find it very difficult to watch Shinnie in possession. His relatively poor touch (and subsequent need to take 3 of them whilst travelling backwards before he can do anything with the ball) one footed-ness and very basic passing just limit us too much.

Didn’t notice Birds out the squad. Interesting could be a late injury or could be Cocu giving him a nudge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jourdan Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 Team is fine, except for Rooney. How fit is he going to be after being stuck at home for two weeks? Surely Kazim-Richards or Sibley would have been the better option when you take that into account? Fear for us today that Danjuma and Stanislas will run us ragged, but hope to be surprised.

Posh Ram Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 FFS. Rooney makes this team so much worse. How does Cocu justify these decisions to the players? We've just put in our 2 best performances of the season in a pressing 343 where the forwards rotate. Brings in old man Rooney who isn't versatile, isn't fit, and frankly isn't very good.

Delighted Bielik is back and surprised Bird misses out. Everything else as expected. I really don't like it either. Nor Bird getting dropped. Bringing Rooney straight back surely sends the wrong message after not training for two weeks and frankly patchy form preceding that. Can't help but feel Bird and Sibley are paying the price for the first few games. Despite the rest of the team being majorly off the boil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't like it either. The only way I can see some logic to it is if Rooney is in midfield and preferabley deep. Even if performances have up turned we lack a degree of control in the middle and haven't been keeping the ball particularly well. Rooney would help with that and hopefully the running of Shinnie and Knight will cover for him. I'm essentially thinking on how Juventus got the most out of Pirlo in his latter years.
