I’d give 2 upfront ago and play Hourihane further forward with Bird in front of the back 4. 

 

                                                   Wildsmith

                        Knight         Stearman   Cashin      Roberts

                                                         Bird 

                 Mendez-Laing                                       Barkhuizen

                                                   Hourihane    
                                      
                                               Collins      Dobbin 

 

Subs: Anang, Rooney, Forsyth, Tommo, Smith, Sibley, McGoldrick

Dobbin was played on the wing Because he is a winger.

Sibley was put on the wing because we had already brought McGoldrick on to play in his best position.

McGoldrick was played where he was Because that's his best position (behind a CF)

Except Dobbin plays across the front - and we needed a threat through the middle. McGoldrick wasn't noticeable where he played but was where he played preseason. Sibley was wasted.

                         Wildsmith

Knight   Stearman      Cashin     Fozzy

                   Bird           Smith

       NML         Hourihane      Dobbin

                           Collins 

Fozzy in as then we have one fullback coming in to help the midfield. His crosses are wicked at times and that will suit Collins and NML on the back stick. 

Smith over Sibley as it allowed us to control the game. Bring on Sibley on 50/55 if we aren’t creating anything. I think it’s important to ride the first 20/25 mins away from home to quieten the home fans, Smith allowed us to do this as he always was there to sweep up the counter attacks. 

Dobbin in as he looked really positive and direct when he came on. Had some flashes of brilliance. Him being there and cutting inside will allowed Fozzy to get round him when the time comes.

Every game we play against the likes of Fleetwood is like their cup final.

Great leveller and giant killers come to mind!

Whilst I think there is an element of truth in what you say and they may well up their game for visits of teams like Derby and Sheffield Wednesday it does also stink a bit of arrogance. We’re in the same league as teams like Fleetwood and until such team as we play them off the park and beat them, we should consider them as equals (IMO) but, on the other hand, believing they are teams we can beat.

I’d go: 

                 Wildsmith 

Knight Stearman Cashin Roberts 

           Bird Hourihane 

Mendez Sibley Barkhuizen 

                Dobbin

 

Sooner we get Dobbin starting the better imo.

                            Wildsmith

           Smith Stearman Cashin Forsyth

                                  Bird

                        Knight        Hourihanne

Mendez Laing         Collins             Dobbin

 

Theory

Smith for Knight, get him into midfield

Forsyth for Roberts, more attacking threat

Don't need 2 holding mids, trust the defence

McGoldrick and Sibley next in line

I think I would go for the same line up as well as I think we need Knight in midfield and would like to see Dobbin given a start. 

Would be tempted to start Mcgoldrick over Collins but I'm not sure if he is physically ready yet and also Collins may be badly effected confidence wise being benched now. I think Mcgoldrick offers something different though and what we have seen so far hasn't worked well in attack so changes are needed.

It's ridiculously arrogant.  I live in Hampshire and noone down here would view playing Derby like a cup final.

Why? He is less effective there.

Because Rosenior says "it's working for him" (Knight) and says Roberts "also absolutely suits that role down to the ground" which clearly points to him thinking it suits Knight, and strongly hints that he will continue to be played there.

It's something we're just going to have to accept and get behind, even if we disagree with it - it's either that or continue pissing in the wind by asking for it to change, which seems pointless.
