Ghost of Clough Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 Now down to one fully fit CB, just O'Brien. Shackell is a doubt and the only other fit CB is loaned out. Just wondering who will start at the weekend. Who'll partner O'Brien? An unfit Shackell, Brayford, Kilbane, or a youth player? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StaffsRam Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 Chris Jones can play CB can't he? Less than ideal having two youngsters there, but it's a possibility. It'll either be that or we'll move Brayford inside and drop Croft back to RB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost of Clough Posted August 11, 2011 Author Share Posted August 11, 2011 Kilbane dropped into the centre against Shrewsbury didn't he? Jones is a left back, who covered at CB during pre-season when no-one was fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jones is a left back, who covered at CB during pre-season when no-one was fit. Thus setting the precedent. Still think the more likely option would be moving Brayford inside. Kilbane moving into the centre against Shrewsbury was to stop him getting raped by Ainsworth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StaffsRam Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 Typical that the one constant there, Anderson, gets himself injured just as the season starts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derby County boss Nigel Clough is confident Jason Shackell will be fit to face Watford on Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Srg Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 Just like to add that Jones didn't look like he has the ability in the two games I saw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost of Clough Posted August 11, 2011 Author Share Posted August 11, 2011 Watford will do the same as Shrewsbury. Run down the wing and cross it. Brayford isn't tall enough to challenge 6ft 3 strikers, nor is he strong enough so useless playing him there. It'll be Kilbane CB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although from the sounds of it Shackell will be fit anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're paying his wages but due to us wanting to offload him there's no point paying to register him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
