Derby County v Exeter City Tuesday 25 October

Assuming Knight, Davies and Barkhuizen are all injured.

We don't have the players for 3-5-2. So, if the players cannot be flexible then Warne has to be the one to change. Let's go 4-3-3 with proper fullbacks.

Also...

Chester is 'done'.

Davies is done and injured.

Stearman is maybe done.

So let's go youthful at centre back.

Hourihane is done. So let's go active midfield.

Forsyth is done but he's one of only two 'qualified' fullbacks, so we'll have to go with him. With either him or Roberts at right back (heck David Nish is arguably the best left back we've ever had and he was right footed).

                          Wildsmith 

Forsyth.      Rooney.  Cashin.   Roberts 

            Bird.        Smith.      Sibley 

      Mendez-Laing.  Osula.   Dobbin

Nice one pal are you coming up? It’s a trip and a half for a Tuesday night. A few weeks ago I’d have said no chance but now I’m not sure our home form has taken a dive.

Yes, I’ll be there but it’s a short trip for me. We’ve sold around 1,100 tickets as of Friday so there should be a decent racket from the away end.

A loss here would see a ton of pressure from some quarters on Warne, not completely undeserved too. 

I’d like to see us control the game and the ball, but ultimately feel that’s not the game plan. Every game feels like a coin flip, could easily lose 2-0 and easily win 2-0.

Anything other than a home win would be disappointing.

Thing is mate we got very very few options to us now. I hope davies is okay not seen anything he is injuried mate but I hope jasion knight not out for to long.

But is a must win now just to keep in touch with chasing pack now.

I think wyan has to look at free agent to see if anyone can come in to do a job.

Not sure if it's been mentioned elsewhere but Warne has said Knight is out for 2-4 weeks. Assuming Davies & Barkhuizen aren't available then I'd go with:

 

                            Wildsmith

           Stearman   Cashin   Forsyth

Odurah                                             Roberts

                  Smith                Bird

                               NML

                   Osula              McGoldrick

 

Loach, Chester, Rooney, Thompson, Sibley, Hourihane, Dobbin

Yes but might be tempted to go Chester rather than Oduroh who hasn’t been a great success so far

Could swap Hourihane for Bird if you prefer but they can’t play in the same team, pick on form. Bird not been great lately so I would give Hourihane a go?!
