Derby blood Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 Agree with some above, keep the same team, which did so well on Wednesday. Our midfield 3 are probably one of the best in this division Will be tough but going for a 2-0, rams victory. Knight and Waghorn to score today Cooooome on uuuu Raaaaaams.

Millenniumram Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 Hopefully Lawrence makes the bench for this one, he’d make more of an impact than Holmes coming on in the second half. Shame Ibe is injured again, but I don’t think he’s particularly close to full fitness, so will probably be a while until we see him start a game.

He's struggled to get a spot in there for a while. Last season, he was probably our best player up until circa Christmas, but then got injured as the team took an upswing.

He was a scintillating player under lampard I’m not sure to be honest, he used to be one of my favourite players, but he seems to have declined quite a lot. Perhaps it was the Cocu effect on attacking players, but he doesn’t appear to have stopped the slide since he was sacked either. I mean, he’s still ok, and doesn’t deserve some of the criticism he gets from certain quarters of the fan base, but he doesn’t seem to have much impact anymore. I suppose what happened to his mate must have hit him hard, and is probably showing in his performances sadly. Seems like an absolute top bloke though, so I hope he can find his feet again.

He was a scintillating player under lampard When you’re playing in a midfield with Wilson and Mount, who bring a lot of creativity and skill and therefore are more likely to be marked by the opposition. As a result, lower league Duane had more space and opportunity to get on the ball and drive with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is in no way overweight, but maybe his cardio isn't up to scratch at the moment. You can carry more body fat and be able to have the cardio to run around for 90 minutes, or you can also be super hench and not be able to run for 5 minutes without needing a lie down. He doesn't need to lose weight (drastically anyways as some posters may allude to) to get his fitness back, he needs to be building up his cardio and ability to recover quickly. His position requires sprinters speed and fast recovery to go again when the attack is launched, it takes a lot of training to be able to do this. I think he'll be stuck to 45 minute U23 cameos for another month. He might get some minutes in the cup to put him in the first team setup against opposition that might be seen as a bit less fit than a championship team. Hopefully he's going to be available for the final third of the season. No more setbacks please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really don’t get the he is overweight baalocks, he’s always had a thick frame, it’s where the power comes from that makes him so dangerous. He needs to get fit, and then needs to get match fit, which is a whole other thing. He doesn’t need to get down the local Slimming World group ?♂️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swansea played very well against Cardiff, were really up for it and Cooper rewarded them by picking an unchanged side against Derby. They were slow out of the blocks, allowed us to take the momentum and didn't seem to have the running in their legs to compete against us. It took three half time changes to give any momentum to their game, but the battle was already lost. Rotherham will be a different proposition to Swansea, much more physical and will present different challenges. I will trust Rooney and his team to assess for fitness, fit and choose his team accordingly. Wise words as always @angieram. Think Rotherham will be more direct and target our centre-halves.
