You’re gonna have to be more specific - we call everyone duck round here! Knight is too attack minded to play in a midfield two. Though I do agree we need to get him away from right back, and back into a position where he can influence the game more. Wouldn’t be against Oduroh starting after his stronger performance against West Brom, would give us a natural full back out there.

I don't think Derby can afford the luxury of two central defensive midfielders. It's far too cautious and safety first. If we put Knight alongside Bird in the centre at the back of the midfield it seems the perfect option because Knight's energy will see him upfield and attacking frequently, but back and defending when we need him to. No copper top but he's our very own Duracell battery and I can see it makes sense to make use of his fantastic midfield engine. jono, norwichram and Ellafella 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jono Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 (edited) 18 hours ago, Carl Sagan said: 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. I can see that working. There’s two things generally about set up that irk me at the moment. we seem to want this 2 DM thing when we really need players up top up feeding the front line. And then the Sibbo is the striker thing. Sibbo is a raider and an instigator, you need a number 9 and the number 9 needs a Sibley (more direct) or a McGoldrick (more subtle. We are doing well down the flanks but the CAM area is being sacrificed to the cautious 2 DM thing. Clearly there are games against certain teams or away from home where we might need to do it but my preset happy clappy view has to warrant being on the front foot as often as possible.

jimtastic56 Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 Cashin will have to stick to Marriot like glue. Jack is a 20 goal striker in this league. I hope Curtis is back to mark Clarke-Harris, another 20 goal striker. A clean sheet is important as we don’t score enough. jono 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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... Well if he's had to make that many saves, their defence would seem to allow plenty of chances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
