S8TY Posted November 9, 2023 Share Posted November 9, 2023 Saturday 11th November Pride Park Stadium Kick Off 15:00 Opponents Barnsley Played 15 W 8 D 3 L 4 GF 31 GA 15 PTS 27 Current Form H Horsham D 3-3 H Fleetwood Town D 2-2 H Shrewsbury Town W 3-0 A Leyton Orient D 1-1 A Exeter City W 1-0 A Cambridge United W 4-0 Top Goalscorer - Devante Cole - 11 Goals Boom! so after a 4-1 win at home to Wolves U21 I carry on with the match day thread and onto a tricky but important home fixture to fellow promotion rivals Barnsley. Certainly for many this is a really important game and test for our new found resurgence and slightly different playing style and Barnsley themselves are in a good run of unbeaten form. Will Paul Warne keep with our recent tactics of actually trying to play some football and mix up our game a bit or go back to his earlier, more direct approach ? I for one hope he sticks with what has got us results recently and think most fans on here would be happier too Onto the game itself and our opponents Barnsley are definitely a difficult opponent and the obvious threat has to be top goalscorer Devante Cole who is not only Barnsley's top goalscorer but also leads the way in League 1 with 11 goals from 15 games , ( equal with Alfie May also on 11 goals )a really good return from there top man. Saying that though there next top scorer Callum Styles has only got 3 goals so maybe if we can stop Cole we stop Barnsley ? It will certainly be a dilemma as Barnsley are also the top scorers in our division on 31 goals conceding 15 which is the same as us. Team selection will be very interesting for this game , does Warne make changes from the last two unchanged line ups ?( not EFL Trophy ) For me I'd like Warne to keep the same side with Bradley keeping his place as I don't think Sonny did anything to warrant being dropped and has made a difference to our team. Think it will be really important to be tight in this game early on and get off to a good fast start and looking at results like there recent 2-2 draw at home to Fleetwood should give us encouragement to go for it, lets have a proper go and try and dominate the ball and the game . I see another victory for us and a warning shot to others that we're back in the game and on the march , see you all again next match thread 👍🏻 COYR Mucker1884, DerbyAleMan, angieram and 4 others 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waghorny Posted November 9, 2023 Share Posted November 9, 2023 Ideal Team: Wildsmith Nyambe Nelson Cashin Wilson Hourihane Bird Sibley Mendez Barks Collins Tad harsh on Fozzy who I dont think has put a foot wrong, but Kane Wilson is our best attacking fullback, and when fit, for me he has to play. Sibley over Smith as, to me, we were crying out for some composure of attack in the final 3rd when overlapping, and Smith was the furthest forward CM who didnt seem to know what to do when he got the ball in their box (would happily have Fornah in place here, as I felt he was growing into games and was becoming a real presence). Collins over Washington, again harsh on Washington who's done no wrong, but if Warne is going to insist on getting crosses into the box, Collins has to be the target man.

chewbacca Posted November 9, 2023 Share Posted November 9, 2023 Looking forward the the game, like to see Kane Wilson starting after recent matches. Not been to a game with my lad in an age, best places for a pre match beer with a 13yr old in tow?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaianoPOTY98 Posted November 9, 2023 Share Posted November 9, 2023 This starting 11 for me: Wildsmith Nyambe Nelson Cashin Elder Fornah Bird Hourihane Mendez Barks Washington Collins, Weston, Wilson, Sibley, Ward, Bradley, Vickers Fozzy not been at his best recently so a rest to re-charge the batteries. Sounds like Weston had a really good debut so give him a chance from the bench, confidence high after his goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost of Clough Posted November 9, 2023 Share Posted November 9, 2023 Collins to be rewarded for his hattrick. Elder to drop to the bench after completing the full 90, but to come on in the 2nd half. Wildsmith Nyambe Nelson Cashin Forsyth Bird Hourihane Wilson Sibley Mendez=Laing Collins Subs: Bradley, Ward, Elder, Smith, Fornah, Barkhuizen, Waghington Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foreveram Posted November 9, 2023 Share Posted November 9, 2023 Tickets sales gathering momentum, only 2,686 left. Lots of areas sold out, South stand SW corner completely sold out. West stand only 542 tickets left. East stand 387 tickets left. ps. If they all get sold they usually find about another 1,000 from somewhere.☺️ SKRam, Caerphilly Ram, Derby4Me and 1 other 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cashin will be off in January and I doubt we'll be able to push for a loan back this time . As such, I expect Bradley will get more game time to protect against injury for a sale and He'll be playing then anyway as We've got him for this season at least and probably two.

MaltRam Posted November 9, 2023 Share Posted November 9, 2023 The difference between Cash and Bradley was stark last night. Cash and Nelson are clearly the central defensive picks at this point.

As per Cashin, if Birds off he'll get very limited game time during December. The club won't risk the loss of revenue if fees are agreed for a January move Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VulcanRam Posted November 9, 2023 Share Posted November 9, 2023 Likely to be: Wildsmith Nyambe Nelson Cashin Forsyth Hourihane Smith Bird NML Washington Barks But if he's feeling adventurous maybe a 4-2-3-1 Hourihane Bird NML Sibley Wilson Washington. But little or no chance. Regardless of whether Cashin is off in Jan, we should play our strongest team in every league game and he's ahead of Bradley by some distance. Bird might be off, Nyambe might be off, we still need them to play as they're our best players. Collins did well in midweek but hasn't shown enough in the league to warrant a start and you'd imagine his game would be meat and drink to a team like Barnsley. Anyway, it has the feeling of a big game in this league so hopefully will be a good atmosphere and a good game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
