Weird to split up Brownhill and Smith at home. 

Derby's first XI have not played for 8 days, this is our third game in 8 days.

I doubt it was the ideal scenario for LJ but this is the 3rd game within a week so I would imagine Brownhill may have needed a rest.

I also seem to remember LJ saying in a press conference that Brownhill has been struggling at home but always plays great away

subs: Steele, Magnússon, Brownhill, O'Dowda, Eliasson, Taylor, Diedhiou

What a great bench. Plenty of attacking options their.

Ignore the negative vibes and consider the omens. In the USA a Bowler hat is known as a Derby. Laurel and Hardy both wore Derbys as did Charlie Chaplin. If this isn't an omen that City are going to win by at least 3 goals I'll eat my hat

Fielding, Wright, Flint, Baker, Bryan, Paterson, Pack, K.Smith, Leko, Reid, Woodrow

thanks mate. Like the team.  3 5 2? Woodrow deserves a starting chance, otherwise why sign him?

Really happy with that starting XI 

I'm really worried....

.....LJ has picked the exact team I would've picked (on the assumption that Pisano was out) with Tuesday in mind.

[petehinton]

Smith & Pack the only pairing that would've worked against Derbys midfield 2. Johnson & Huddlestone are as two tough tackling midfielders as you can get. Brownhill wouldn't have survived. 

Happy with Woodrow to get a start too. 

Only **** up is Bailey Wright at RB again.

Hoskins and Vyner co - commentating on RB.

Stuck in a small room with the Screecher?

Don't forget your ear muffs Zak.

Right time to leg it down the Gate.

COME ON CITY, DESTROY DERBY 

[Northern Red]

Happy enough with that, a bit of rotation is to be expected with the amount of games at the moment. 

Diedhiou being benched will please a few.

The best bit of Derby's line up is no Tom Ince anymore

[EstoniaTallinnRed]

Hoping for a good result today,  but in view of the last three hard games,  a draw would be one. With that line up and strength on the bench we have a good chance of a win,  as long as we play a pressing game.  So make us proud boys and play a great game to get all three points.  COYR's

Derby played Barnsley midweek in EFL cup

Wright warming up with the defence, looks like a back 4

But they played a completely different line-up, so most if not all will have rested.

They made 11 changes, their first choice team didnt play since their last league match

Correct!  11 changes for them today.

Which they also benefitted from playing on the Friday to make the comparison even worse

....but they've replaced him with Tom Lawrence. Not as good but will still get in any championship 11

Bryan will kill him

COYR!!

Would have liked to have seen Taylor start myself. He linked up really well with Reid when he came on Tuesday.
