Rampant Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 I may as well have a shot at starting a match thread as at this rate we'll all be having multiple attempts. Date: Saturday 19th August 1500h Venue: Pride Park Visitors: Fleetwood Town Visitors Form: Not great but they'll hardly be overawed given our own. So far the Shrimpers have one point from their three league fixtures courtesy of a 1-1 opening day draw at Carlisle. Defeats at home to Cambridge (0-2) and away at Bolton (1-3) leaves them two points behind us Rams. As with ourselves, they also didn't fancy a League Cup run as they exited with a 2-3 defeat at Port Vale. Last Season: Derby failed to score against Fleetwood in either game in 2022/23. A goalless draw in a game ruined by the wind in Lancashire was still miles better than the horror show in the return fixture at Pride Park where Derby produced about their worst performance of the season in losing 0-2. Notable Staff: Their owner is in jail, their manager is former Celtic man Scott Brown and they of course have ex-Ram Jack Marriott up front. Hopes: For a return to a back four and, fitness permitting, the following starting line up. A bit of decent football on the deck would be welcome too. Wildsmith Wilson Nelson Cashin Forsyth Thompson Bird NML Hourihane Washington Waghorn Will you be attending OP?: Yes, accompanied by one son and two Everton-supporting nephews.

That's not going to help. In that case I'm either sticking Smith back at RB or giving Max Bardell his first start (I think). Wildsmith Bardell Nelson Cashin Forsyth Rooney Thompson Hourihane NML Waghorn Washington (Vickers, Smith, Elder, Robinson, Sibley, Brown, Collins) Fozzy, Bardell and Rooney can all cover CB so Bradley's place on the bench can go to Brown. Would include Barkz if available but assuming he's not quite ready. Anag Ram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
