Pass it around

[Otis]

I've heard that most of the team haven't travelled today.

Which is great news for us, because we are at home

 

[Mcbean]

Ready for the team change

 

[Mucca Mad Boys]

I think we're going to blow them away.

Win tonight and we might need just one more win to get to the PL. Let's try to enjoy it!

Win tonight and promotion could be confirmed as early as Sheff Wednesday.

 

[shepardo01]

Anybody aware of any issues on Rowley's Green Lane. Seen something on FB about a house fire...

 

[fatso]

Ready for the team change

Torp for Onyeka? and Rudoni starting?
Possibly KKH switching to
LB or Bidwell, to rest Dasilva

JAHNOAH

Dunno whats her name?

 

[Mercian In Anglia]

Been a while since we've had a Big Bobby T injury time winner hasn't it...?

Don't want one tonight, we want it wrapped up way before then

[skybluegod]

As expected really. Good that Wright and Rudoni are back on the bench

 

[covmark]

Some firepower on that bench

 

[mrtrench]

Quite a defensive midfield.

 

[Perennial Lurker]

That subs bench is insane

 

[Perennial Lurker]

Quite a defensive midfield.

Eccles will be 10 , he's been a solid understudy in that position this season

 

[SkyBlueAussie]

Quite a defensive midfield.

Derby have a good away record.

 

[Captain Dart]

Options to sub Eccles,, Saka and Esse to see the game out.

 

[StrettoBoy]

As expected really. Good that Wright and Rudoni are back on the bench

It is and EMC as well

We have a strong bench, which can make a difference if we need to throw a few of them on for the last 20-30 minutes.

 

[Ccfcisparks]

That team should be enough

 

[StrettoBoy]

Eccles will be 10 , he's been a solid understudy in that position this season

He has. He’s a great option from the bench and I’m perfectly happy to see him starting tonight. Presumably Rudoni will replace him at some point.

 

[Robinshio]

Lose next 2. Beat Sheff Wednesday and we would still have a minimum 5 points gap with 4 to play. Win all 3 and we could be promoted next weekend

 

[Gleneagles65]

Derby have a good away record.

Our home form is not bad either.

 

[stevefloyd]

Derby have a good away record.

We have a good home record

 

[Mercian In Anglia]

That subs bench is insane

yeah, swap out Wilson for a fit Dovin, and add Lati, Allen and Andrews/Min BTA (FFS! forgot him) and we can put out two different XIs that would give most teams in this league a run for their money.

 

[shmmeee]

Four subs on 60/70 mins and we’ll look strong for Monday. Decent squad that. Shame BTA didn’t make it.

 

[jto123]

Probs says more about my fitness, but surely da silva is going to be knackered?

 

[Ricketts]

Torp for Onyeka? and Rudoni starting?

LB or Bidwell, to rest Dasilva

Wrong on everything, but apart from that, spot-on.

 

[shmmeee]

Think cos Lampard doesn’t see KKH as a LB and the drop to Bidwell is so significant he’ll play more fatigued than he might otherwise.

 

[skybluegod]

Probs says more about my fitness, but surely da silva is going to be knackered?

It's only 3 matches in 6 days, pretty standard this season for him. He's clearly a robust player generally. Can't think of any games where he has been rested by choice.

 

[Great_Expectations]

Poor JDS, two games in the week. Then starting today with zero support in front of him and a CB inside him who’s currently missing the interception everytime he steps up.

Boo boys will be happy!

Esse is pretty good at tracking back

 

[Great_Expectations]

Esse is pretty good at tracking back

Getting better indeed, but overall nah.

 

[Esoterica]

Esse is pretty good at tracking back

Problem is he'll be starting to track back from anywhere other than left wing!
