Derby v Cambridge Match Thread

Recommended Posts

Cambridge are doing brilliantly at the moment, thanks in no small part to (for my money) the best manager in the league in Mark Bonner, but they’re a seriously underfunded team - a team full of the most hardened of journeymen with the very smallest sprinkling of youth. They’re not a team who is going to beat us with energy or pace, Gassan Ahadme is a player at times threatening but ultimately struggles hugely with consistency. 

These are usually the games that we do well in, the team makeup is similar to ourselves but on a fifth of a budget. I do think Bonner is ultimately a very smart manager, but I predict a scrappy game whereby the quality of the players ends up being the difference.

In terms of team selection, their old guard at the back - Ryan Bennett and Michael Morrison - are likely to struggle with pace so it gives Warne a chance to give a run out for Washington. Shame TJJ isn’t fit as this would be a good opportunity for him too. Smith needs to make sure Thomas doesn’t get much time or opportunity on the ball - he is a player who does have a bit of quality.

I'm a bit surprised there are no comments on Cash's interview. I thought he spoke really well about their support for Josh Vickers.

That's a lot of responsibility on a young player to come out and articulate how difficult it has been for the players.

He is future captain material,  without a doubt.

Does Sibbo get the chance, or do we go with experience?

Don’t be silly!

👏 Still not sure I want to rate him more than I already do, given he'll probably leave us in January 😞
