Ghost of Clough Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 A win against West Brom made it five unbeaten. We return to League football against the division's top scorers. In our 7 home games against Peterborough, we have only lost once (1993) My predicted lineup: Wildsmith Stearman Cashin Knight Bird Hourihane Roberts Mendez-Laing Barkhuizen Dobbin Collins Subs: Loach, Rooney, Forsyth, Tommo, Smith, Sibley, McGoldrick Rev, Reggie Greenwood, IslandExile and 1 other 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Van der MoodHoover Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 We're a force at home. I think though that Peterborough will come to play. And they will be beaten. Reggie Greenwood and Rammy03 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's certainly possible. Dobbin playing on the wing with Sibley behind Collins. jimtastic56 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carl Sagan Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 Sibley has to be the first name on the team sheet. And even though we often play him out of position, I don't mean in goal. Against the Baggies he had far and away our three best attempts. No one else comes close to bringing his level of goal threat and, as a club, we are starved of goals. It's not as if he doesn't also fully contribute to the team. And the whole team plays better when he's on the pitch as he gives us such better options and attacking intent than the other midfielders. Fairness is so important to me. Rosenior has done plenty of good things but he's been taking the easy option in some of his team selections, not picking the side on merit but instead going by reputation. For instance, if both are fit competing for the same spot, it's much easier to pick Hourihane and leave Sibley on the bench. But enough is enough. Louie has kept his head down, worked hard and consistently been out best player over the season to date. If he's fit and Rosenior doesn't pick him on Saturday, I'm calling for Rosenior to go. The manager has to be brave and do the right thing. That way is the path to promotion. I'm thinking Rosenior will finally acknowledge this and go: Wildsmith Knight Stearman Cashin Roberts Bird Hourihane Mendez-Laing Sibley Barkhuizen Collins Subs: Loach Oduroh Forsyth Rooney Smith McGoldrick Dobbin McGoldrick will continue to be eased in gently. If Mendez-Laing still has family stuff to sort out, Dobbin will come in (he's close to demanding a start anyway) and either Thompson or Agathise for the bench.

Dimmu Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 A bit of heads up info: I don't know much about the League One playerwise, but I'd be surprised if some team has a better goalkeeper than Peterborough does. Lucas Bergström, on loan youngster from Chelsea, is expected to be the next big thing and continuing the Finnish tradition of great goalkeepers. He has massive frame, 6 feet 9", and for his size, he has ridiculous reactions. Biggest weakness at the moment is distribution with the feet. Found a little clip of him this season. Seems like he has won their some points already. Hopefully, we will take our shooting boots with us this time around... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he's fit and Rosenior doesn't pick him on Saturday, I'm calling for Rosenior to go. The manager has to be brave and do the right thing. While I agree that Sibley has done well and should start this seems like an odd stance to take before a ball has been kicked. What if he doesn’t pick Sibley and the side he picks goes on the win 5-0, will you still call for him to go? What if he starts Sibley on the bench and brings him on when their defence is tiring and he grabs himself a couple of goals, isn’t that potentially good tactical awareness from Rosenior? What if he starts Sibley and Sibley has a shocker, scores a hat trick of own goals and gets sent off? Is that on Rosenior? I want to see Derby succeed after a rubbish few years off the pitch, Rosenior is currently the person paid to make that happen, it’s his responsibility to pick the team based on what he sees in training, what his staff have analysed about the game, what he knows the strengths of his squad to be etc, and he’s made a solid enough start to life as the manager. Calling for him to be sacked for his potential selection decision surrounding one player seems extreme to me. ??♂️ FlyBritishMidland, Leicester Ram, Heisenberg and 10 others 4 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Scarlet Pimpernel Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 It's like discussing the match before the game in the pub with your mates.
