Even Elder's mum wouldn't pick him ahead of Fozzy on current form so suspect we'll be 3/5 at the back. norwichram and jimtastic56 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course not. 3-4-3 is exactly the same as 4-4-2 as far as the midfield 4 are concerned surely. One less defender and one more up front, so a more attacking formation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One less defender and one more up front, so a more attacking formation The wide men in a 3-4-3 are the only protection for the wings. The personnel deployed in the 3-man defence are unlikely to be pacy enough to handle an opposition winger. Smith and Hourihane barely have enough puff to waddle around in midfield let alone covering forward and back. Chester40 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foreveram Posted September 15, 2023 Share Posted September 15, 2023 Tickets have been selling steadily for this game with just under 3,000 left for Derby supporters. Portsmouth have sold around 3,000 so probably looking at around 29,000 attendance. Not bad for a cat A match at £33 a ticket for the West and East stands and the team playing rubbish football and heading for league two.😉 angieram and Patrick Rams 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One less defender and one more up front, so a more attacking formation So what's the plan for defending the wider areas in our own third? You either spread the back 3 out wide to try and cover the whole pitch, which is what leaves the central guy exposed with massive gaps either side of him. I.e. a big part of why Sonny Bradley has looked so bad so far. Or you have the wider midfielders cover them, in which case they are functionally wingbacks whatever you might think. Or you just stay tight centrally and don't defend them at all, in which case you are giving the other team free reign to pump as many crosses into our box as they like. Pick one.

I am Ram Posted September 15, 2023 Share Posted September 15, 2023 I think Portsmouth are unbeaten since before we played them last season, it's going to be tough game. Lets get this home form sorted out Derby, no mistakes please. UTR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he said: it was in a strange way nearly his favourite game of the season (rather than performance but I’d have to watch it again to be sure) because despite playing away against a good team we could have come away with a point or even three if it hadn’t been for that pesky referee.

Caerphilly Ram Posted September 15, 2023 Share Posted September 15, 2023 Footage of training edited into the pre match interview shows Wilson, Sibley and Barkhuizen all seemingly properly involved so hope they’re able to play a part tomorrow. angieram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JuanFloEvraTheCocu'sNesta Posted September 15, 2023 Share Posted September 15, 2023 (edited) Can't see much past an away win. They are in much better shape than us.
