Team To Hold/Beat Derby

[QUOTE=Brian Wilson;1589913]4-2-3-1? Is Jimmy back in the dugout?

Won't happen but I would keep it simple rather than trying to fit in our most talented players into positions they cant play.

Smithies

Ned Hall Lynch Bidwell

Wszolek Luongo Cousins Shopido

Polter Sylla

Mackie will be on the bench tonight I think[/QUO

I'd pick a team as long as it was MINUS Perch, Henry and Cousins who all seem woeful! Simply no talent or football ability whatsoever. Keep it simple and go for a solid 4-4-2. Unfortunately, the players at the managers disposal are just not good enough though, that is the be all and end all.

Smithies

Onuoha Hall Lynch Robinson

Wszolek Luonga Sandro Shodipo

Washington Sylla

Is what I would go with. Chery and Polter perhaps to come on if we need to find some creativity/grab a goal if the game is in stalemate. However, sadly as it sounds, I fear Derby could be too good for us at the moment with our confidence at an all time low and theirs flying after 5 straight wins. You can always live in hope though! Come on you R'rs!!!

Totally depends on whether or not the players a) understand their role and b) are capable of giving their best in that role. Both are managerial responsibilities, and so far Olly has struggled tactically.

If he gets it right, we could win. If he doesn't we won't. Simple really.

Smithies.

Er. That's it.

Smithies in goal.

[Brian Wilson]

We would like that but against in form Rams ?

We wont hold em IMO, might as well have a go.

We dont wont another Toon score that would be horrendous !!

[West Acton]

Hall is no midfielder

[LoftusRoadLad]

Hall is no midfielder

No, you're right but him or Cousins ?

[West Acton]

No, you're right but him or Cousins ?

Neither. Hall has been poor this season so he's not shoe in for CB role

That happened anyway with 4-2-3-1 though. Lets get back to basics, wont please the purists but proper wingers sending in crosses for 2 proper beasts (not pretend ones like Sandro)..elbows flying. I suppose Shopido wont play anyway after playing most of the game on Monday

We need a fast-paced team tonight. For me, that must include Shodipo. Every time he's on the pitch he stirs things up. That also means leaving the plodding Polter on the bench; too slow, lacking in touch for me.

That's not bad , but not both the big men up front at the start , think he will play Washington with one and I think he will play Henry alongside Luongo

team to hold /beat Derby?
Brighton or Newcastle

[Shepherds Mush]

I'd bet right now that it is not going to be 6-0 or worse...
