I would go with - Allsop - Jagielka Stearman Forsyth - Byrne Thompson Bird Knight Ebosele - Lawrence Plange Roos Davies Williams Jozwiak Morrison Baldock CKR Definitely vs Coventry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hull imo are the 3rd team we need to catch, Reading & Cardiff have enough to be safe. Can we beat Hull at home and win 10pts more than them in the remaining games? Can we beat Barnsley at home and win 1pt more than them in the remaining games? Can we beat PBoro at home and win 6pts more than them in the remaining games?

nfb Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 It's all about that 3rd team, Barnsley and PBoro look doomed, we can catch both, it's that 3rd team ...... DCFC1388, Ramzabac and Kathcairns 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comrade 86 Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 In light of events over the past two years, my thinking would be duck the FA Cup. Play our strongest side then rest the lot of them for the Cov game. I'd put out our junior cubs side out if were up to me* or make up some wild Covid blag and forfeit the game. duck integrity when those around us show none**. *and if something like that actually existed ?♀️ ** soz, bit poorly and sleep deprived so rather grumpy today Ken Tram and Chester40 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe, but I don’t think Reading will be feeling too safe if we beat them tomorrow. Hopefully they play for a point, just to be undone by a Laurence worldy in the last minute. He is due one.

Last thing we need is injuries to key players. Perfect opportunity to give fringe players a game (Sibley) those needing fitness (Shinnie) and further blood a few more youngsters.(Cashin). Whilst we still have a chance we need to play every card carefully, rest the older players and not overwork the youngsters who have been amazing. Hopefully agaisnt Reading we can play the same team again, safe in the knowledge they get a rest after. Come quickly out the blocks against a rusty Reading, knowing our subs are in the groove too. Big game. norwichram, Comrade 86, Kathcairns and 2 others 2 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Addingham Ram Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 If Coventry win their games in hand they'll be right in the play off mix. They might therefore also be thinking that the FA Cup is an unnecessary distraction and rest key players as well. If that is the case, then I think a strong showing from a much changed Derby team could scrape us through to the next round. Knowing our luck, we'd probably then get a top 6 Premier League side or a non-league team in the fourth round and get selected for TV. Suddenly the extra income from a decent gate, and/or from TV money, might just come in handy. RoyMac5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken Tram Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 Thanks. I thought that I had checked the DFCF website. I wonder if Reading always does that, or if it is a Covid measure ... ? I don't think that I will ever organised enough to be an away fan! I wonder if home tickets are being sold on the day. I'm just not sure that I would be good enough at pretending not to be a Derby fan! How hard is it to sit in the home end and (a) not cheer for Derby and (b) to not cheer the other team when others around you are cheering! PS. I guess someone will probably be going to Reading and have a spare ticket! But, I'm not sure that I am certain enough to buy a train ticket!

Carl Sagan Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 What will likely cost us this season is our form against the teams we hope to be competing with to avoid relegation. I don't know what the issue is that means we raise our game against teams near the top, but lower it for teams at the bottom. From now on we have to be absolutely ruthless against any teams we might be able to catch. It's great to beat the top teams but counts for nothing if we can't also beat the likes of Reading who we will likely need to overtake to avoid the drop. This lot haven't played for ages, while we are match hardened. We have to take the game to them from the start, so they don't know what's hit them. And we have to be ruthless in front of goal. No let up. Every game at the moment is a cup final. A win here means everything and reduces the gap to safety to single figures. Come on you Rams!

A bit early to be saying that in my opinion especially as Cardiff have exactly the same number of points as Hull but with a worse goal difference. Any team could go on a good or bad run that could change the whole complexion. RoyMac5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
