Chester40 Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 I just dreamt I watched us lose 1-0 in a travesty of a s***housing match against Wycombe. I was then watching a news report with Bolton fans being interviewed saying they were now favourites and didn't want the play offs. It took me about 5mins of feeling miserable before I realised it had been a dream. Come on Derby .... win tomorrow, thrash Orient at the weekend and Portsmouth to grab a draw and we are almost there. Really don't fancy the play offs. Hector was the best and SKRam 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s this kind of game that has been our undoing a number of times in recent years. Time for a big performance from the boys. It doesn’t have to be pretty but we need 3 points from this game otherwise I can see a massive wobble being on the cards.

Unfortunately I agree with you on this, it doesn’t have to be pretty, we just need a good hard working performance from everyone, we need to take a leaf out of Adams and Collins book !!! i-Ram and David Graham Brown 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think having the likes of Collins, Adams and Nelson as the spine of the team is a bonus for games like this. They’ll set the tone for the rest and make sure we’re not bullied as easily as we have been in the past….i hope 🤞 BaianoPOTY98, 66DegreesNorth, Andrew3000 and 8 others 6 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other of our more skilful players are also able to mix it, NML, Wilson, Ward are all able to get stuck in. Possibly only Bird, Hourihane are more 'technical' without that bite, which is why (Fornah and then) Adams were recruited, as eg Thompson, Smith just couldn't do it all. Shame we couldn't do that successfully earlier in the season. jimtastic56 and BaianoPOTY98 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caerphilly Ram Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 Leigh Curtis’ predicted XI in the DET assuming Ward isn’t fit enough to play is a 4-4-2 as follows; Wildsmith Wilson Nelson Cashin Sibley NML Smith Adams CBT Collins Waghorn I don’t hate it, solid in the middle, pace and trickery out wide from the wingers and the full backs. It’s just a…erm….industrious front 2, so not a great amount of guile, but maybe it’ll be a game for staying solid and then kicking their front door in at the right moments.

Top Lino Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 Can see a dull first 45 mins but in the second half their exertions at Wembley will catch up with them and our strength off the bench will see us home. This could be the moment CBT makes his name at Pride Park. jimtastic56, Reggie Greenwood and Derby4Me 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need to unlock a solid defence. I’d pair Tommo w CBT on the left and appoint Waggy cheerleader. After his rest I think NML will cause havoc down the rw so hopefully Collo has his heading boots on. Hourihane on as AM if we’re not winning at 70 mins. He might find space up there as they tire. If Ward is fit, selection becomes more difficult … Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly Washigton if fit is a better option as part of a 2? Offers a slightly different option to the other 2. Although I suppose it's unlikely for Wycombe's line to be up enough for him to run behind. This is why it's such a shame about Gayle, who gave us such a smart striking option DiggerB and Caerphilly Ram 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waghorn is redundant, may as well play someone like Thompson just for his pressing over Waghorn. Chester40 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
