Team for Derby

[dougdeep]

Orlandi is 50/50, might make the bench.

 

[RM-Taylor]

Kuszczak

Dave
Greer
Upson
Calderon

Agustien
Bridcutt
Forster-Caskey

Buckley
Ulloa
Barnes

Subs:
Ankergre/Brezovan
Dunk
El-Abd
Ince
LuaLua
Orlandi/March
Barker

 

[MattBackHome]

Given the full back situation and slight knee injuries to Orlandi and Crofts, I'd go with this

Kuszczak
Calderon - Greer - Upson - Maximenko
Bridcutt
Lopez - Agustien
Buckley - - - - - - - - - - - - - Barnes
Ulloa​

Subs: Ankergren, El Abd, Dunk, JFC, KLL, March, Barker



Alternatively, Maxi on the bench, Calde at LB, Lopez at RB and JFC or perhaps Ince into midfield

Exactly this.

 

[Stumpy Tim]

If we assume Orlandi & Crofts not fit enough to start:

-------------------PIG-----------------
------------------------------------------------
Lopez--------Greer-------Upson---------Calderon
------------------------------------------------
-----------Bridcutt--------Ince-----------
Buckley----------------------------------March
----------------Agustein-------------------------
---------------------------Ulloa----------------

 

[Smeagull]

Orlandi is 50/50, might make the bench.

Orlandi and Crofts out:

Knee injuries for Orlandi and Crofts could limit OG's selection scope versus Derby. #bhafc

 

[London Irish]

OG obviously likes the 4-3-3/4-5-1 system

According to the Isreali journalist who covered Oscar last season, Oscar never departs from the 4-5-1 as starting line-up - so if people are looking for a plan B, it won't come from the formation change

 

[brightonmark1234]

orlandi has been our best player in pre season

i would take out ince cause he looks so clumsy on the ball

 

[Stumpy Tim]

i would take out ince cause he looks so clumsy on the ball

I think we need to give youth a chance

 

[Commander]

i would take out ince cause he looks so clumsy on the ball

I haven't seen him yet but it would be good if we can blood him properly this season. Players like him are the future of this club.

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

i would take out ince cause he looks so clumsy on the ball

Maybe a few games under his belt will sharpen him up?

 

[BensGrandad]

i would take out ince cause he looks so clumsy on the ball

I would be most surprised if the team looks anything like that but I suppose anything is possible. I cant see OG starting March and also playing Ince and Bridcutt and Bridcutt looked a lot sharper when he came on against Newport so perhaps he needed the games to get back his sharpness.

 

[Seaber]

Now no Bridcutt either!

Kuszczak
Calderon - Greer - Upson - Maximenko
David - Agustien - Forster-Caskey
Buckley - Ulloa - Barnes


Brezovan - El-Abd - Dunk - March - Ince - LuaLua - Barker

 

[upthealbion1970]

Now no Bridcutt either!

Kuszczak
Calderon - Greer - Upson - Maximenko
David - Agustien - Forster-Caskey
Buckley - Ulloa - Barnes


Brezovan - El-Abd - Dunk - March - Ince - LuaLua - Barker

Why no bridders?

 

[Seaber]

Groin apparently. Orlandi is knee.

Crofts might be back, though.

 

[Ninja Elephant]

Kuszczak
Calderon Greer Upson Maksimenko
Dave Agustien JFC
March Ulloa Buckley​

Buckley to provide cover for Maksimenko. Agustien, Dave and JFC to rotate playing the sitting role and generally far more open and attacking. Still able to keep the ball and keep it moving, but far more fluidity and the chance for quicker play.

 

[casbom]

Wouldn't be surprised to see Andrews on the bench, as he is eligible!

my team

PiG

Dave
Greer
Upson
Calderon

Agustien
Crofts
JFC

Barnes
Ulloa
Buckley

 

[Zukey Seagull]

I'm excited

 

[Stumpy Tim]

With no Bridcutt I would swap in Andrews, with Ince playing the main holding role

 

[7:18]

Given the full back situation and slight knee injuries to Orlandi and Crofts, I'd go with this

Kuszczak
Calderon - Greer - Upson - Maximenko
Bridcutt
Lopez - Agustien
Buckley - - - - - - - - - - - - - Barnes
Ulloa​

Subs: Ankergren, El Abd, Dunk, JFC, KLL, March, Barker

another vote for this lineup, definitely the team I'd pick
