[Sparkle]

No mendiz Lang then or Roberts 

[Day]

Right so NML injured, Dobbin on the bench, how exactly do we intend on you know, getting the ball into their net? 

Barkhuizen back on the bench as well, but won’t be match fit. 

Not feeling confident here.

C”mon Derby for once let’s get a Friday win and enjoy the weekend

I’m struggling with that one, 5-3-2???????

Not sure who plays LWB but someone’s going to be out of position!

How about 442 ? With Forsyth at left back ?

Parking the bus for 60 mins @0-0 then unleashing Dobbin and Osula ? 

Looks like Big Franks play off final plan.

We do have McGoldrick and Collins on the pitch for getting it into the net

What a disappointing live up. Midfield will get bogged down. I’m guessing wing backs again so Sibley wasted. 
 

How can you not play Dobbin?

We’re going to run around more than they do, obviously… ?

[Ramarena]

So probably Sibley and Smith wingback, Bird, Hourihane and Thompson midfield and Collins and McG up top.

That side lacks pace for me.

Possible I suppose, Thompson RW?

[Topram]

6 hour train journey to see Thompson over NML makes me Ill, bloody injuries

Can’t be a neck injury for sure

[Marriot Ram99]

Looks lacking in pace and creativity, we are either going to have to be very clinical with the chances we get. Can't see us getting that many.

We have to get the ball to them, thats the issue.

Sibley is the only real outlet to do that, which if I’m the Portsmouth manager makes it an easy team talk, sit on him, keep chipping away and he will get frustrated.

Obviously hope I’m wrong, I just feel we need to have Barkhuizen and Dobbin doing a split shift to help balance out the load.

Well Derby has been gridlocked most of the day so 2 hours sat on uttoxeter road not moving doesn’t help

Hamstring injuries for both Roberts and NML apparently. NML expected to be out for a couple of weeks.

[Sparkle]

                      Wildsmith 

smith.     Rooney Cashin.  Forsyth  

           Bird Hourihane Tompson 

                     Sibley

          McGoldrick collins 

why not ! plenty of scope to change things
