Team for Derby

[countryman]

Same as Saturday but with March instead of Lingard.

 

[The Terminator]

Was it in Jesses contract that he has to start playoff matches or was that just league?

 

[dan4bha]

unchanged from Forest.

but Stephens for JFC if fit

If Orlandi plays, I would rather see him in the advance left role - not in central midfield. I don't recall him playing well in the centre of midfield ever

Did you ever watch us last season when it was Bridcutt as DM with Lopez and Orlandi as the two CM's? in my mind that was our best CM partnership considering they had the quality of the balls to play forward

I don't remember that. We played our best football with Hammond, David and Bridcutt in the centre from memory

Why on Earth people keep putting Ince and Andrews together in centre mid is beyond me. Whenever they play together we are absolutely wretchedly one-paced...

For me its:

--------------- Kuszczak ---------------
Calderon --- Greer --- Upson --- Ward
----------- Andrews --------------------
--------------- Stephens ---------------
Buckley ----- Lingard----------Lua Lua
----------------- Ulloa ------------------

If Stephens is unfit, then I'd go for JFC.

in a 4 3 3 I agree but
can play Ince and Andrews as a part of 4 2 3 1

Nearly time to go. I remember groaning when I saw the team against Leicester at home. Bu that worked out OK.

I heard that L keogh in the central defence might not be all that hot. But Buxton is meant to be good.

Derby think Ward will play instead of Hughes and Russell will start for them. I am not so sure about that
