Sweetness34 Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 (edited) Based on nothing other than the experience of being a Derby fan my whole life, I can just see us dropping points on Saturday, struggling but winning against Exeter, either 4 or 3 points from those two games and everyone (myself included) going into meltdown even though it's not that bad before convincingly thrashing Stevenidge and finding oursevels in 2nd because the teams around us also drop points that they don't think they should 0-0 Saturday is my gut feeling, like I say, based on nothing other than that's what happens we're in this position!

LeedsRam1999 Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 People want to change formation and I can see why, 4-3-3 takes a body out of defence and places them up top. I think he will start 3-5-2 and then look to change if it’s 0-0 45-60 mins in. The team: Vickers Ward Nelson Bradley Cash Sibley Adams Hourihane Bird CBT Collins I think this allows us to get both wingbacks forwards to create width. Hourihane and bird can drop into the half spaces in the corners of the box to cross and slip the wing backs in whilst we have the defensive stability of the 3 CB’s and Adams sweeping. Realistically, we can control the game well in that formation. If it’s tight, I’d go NML for Bradley and leave Sibs as an attacking full back and Wilson for Ward who provides more know how in a traditional full back role.

LeedsRam1999 Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 (edited) 1 minute ago, Srg said: He’s not going to play Blackett-Taylor up front. I doubt it would be a traditional striker role. More so the role that NML played earlier in the season where he can drift and create overloads on either side. it also means a side who come to sit in have something else to think about rather than a rigid attack.

NML is much more physical than CBT. They’re different players. I think if NML can’t start then he won’t go 2 up front. Only slight option is Barkhuizen, but don’t think he will do that either.

Only slight option is Barkhuizen, but don’t think he will do that either. It’s a good point. Maybe just personally for me, I like the dynamic second striker even if they are a winger. I do agree that maybe he does not have the physical strength to do so and I would not be opposed to be Barks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RamsFan10 Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 I don’t think we were fantastic despite the win on Saturday. I’d like to see (assuming NML out).

sage Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 The pitch will be even worse after all this rain and snow. It will make it difficult to play football and will suit physical route one teams. On that basis, we will win 3-0 Ghost of Clough, SKRam and norwichram 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foreveram Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 Less than 2,500 tickets left for home fans, Shrewsbury have sold 1,100 so there should be a decent crowd of around 27,000. SKRam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
