Ghost of Clough Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 We're now 7 unbeaten, equalling our best run since Dec19-Jan20 (4 wins, 3 draws). A few more games to beat the run of 10 games achieved at the end of 2016. We face Plymouth in a 6th vs 5th battle - the last time we didn't beat them at home was way back in 1985 (7 wins) My predicted lineup: Wildsmith Stearman Cashin Knight Bird Hourihane Forsyth Mendez-Laing Sibley Dobbin Collins Subs: Loach, Oduroh, Roberts, Rooney, Tommo, Barkhuizen, McGoldrick OohMartWright, IslandExile, Derby4Me and 4 others 4 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Srg Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 Plymouth are a good team at this level. We seem to have faced a few of them at home, rather than the some of the teams expected to be at the bottom. They have plenty of attacking options. Team for me: Wildsmith, Knight, Stearman, Cashin, Roberts, Bird, Hourihane, Sibley, Dobbin, Barkhuizen, New signing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foreveram Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 Plymouth have sold over 2,000 tickets as of yesterday morning so should be a decent attendance and atmosphere. I know nothing, SKRam, Derby4Me and 1 other 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sufferingfool Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 That’s a good effort it’s a long way to come! Should make for a cracking atmosphere. SKRam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edtheram Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 Another important home game against a good team. This is a game I look at and my heart says id take draw for 2 wins on the road against Morecombe and Lincoln. however, because were so strong at home i think this is another game we can win with the quality we have, although Smith will be a miss. Id set up a little different from last Saturday with NML & Forsyth coming into the side. Wildsmith Knight Stearman Cashin Forsyth Bird Hourihane Dobbin NML Barkhauzien Mcgoldrick Bench: Loach/Rooney/Roberts/Thompson/Sibley/Collins/Cybulski (Or new signing) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Won at FGR last away game. Away form seems patchy so would hope that we have too much for them. SKRam, Crewton and Ram@Lincoln 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I remember the horrendous journey there for the FACup in the 80s on a really dirty tatty football special train then marched up hill by police then shoved in ground when no room until got to front. Remember as quite scary but I was only young at time so it perhaps wasnt or I was a wuss! Then they beat us with a terrible goal straight from corner in the replay.

Barks had a good game against Peterborough and keeps the shirt, whereas Dobbin was largely ineffectual. With Mendez-Laing playing on Tuesday, he should take over Dobbin's role on the right. But great options to have McGoldrick and Dobbin to come on for the last half hour. jono 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having lived in Cornwall, I frequented Home Park on many occasions and have seen the Rams there 5 times I think. The 0-0 in the Cup, a 1-1 draw at Christmas time when Tommy Tynan equalised in injury time, season we went up I think. Saw us win 1-0 there when there were next to no fans, really windy day and Bobby Davison scored the goal and I also saw us lose 4-1 there in the 80's too. Also saw us win away there 2-0 in the early 2000's when it poured with rain, driving back was a nightmare. Remember me and my late daughter Gemma walking in to the services on the M5 to a loud round of applause from some Derby fans who saw my daughter's Rams shirt, brought a nice smile to her face. A number of my friends are Greens fans so I will be looking for the bragging rights after Saturday.

HedgeEnder Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 I recall living in Plymouth in th 90's. As a season ticket holder, the trip to Derby was a long one - particularly for night matches. Games up North were even worse.

But great options to have McGoldrick and Dobbin to come on for the last half hour. It's a tough one as all three have had an impact so far. You say Dobbin was ineffectual, but he still managed to pop up with an assist (once moved off the RW). angieram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
