Curr Avon Posted November 20, 2020 Report Share Posted November 20, 2020 Prior to Wednesday night's recording of the https://foreverbristolcity.podbean.com/ podcast I received (via my sister) the reflections of the Derby County YouTuber, Tyler Tarft; https://www.facebook.com/tylerrams1998/ . Apologies if any of this information is out of date. Derby County currently sit bottom of the championship, unfortunately I feel Phillip Cocu couldn’t get it right on the pitch, off the pitch he was class, stuck by us through a lot of the pitch, through EFL investigations, drink driving scene etc, however on the pitch, 1 win in 11 it was time for a change, I feel the players couldn’t play the style of football he wanted and maybe there was things happening behind the scenes, such as not being given the finances he needs to spend, we loaned out striker out Jack Marriott to Sheffield Wednesday on deadline day leaving us with basically no one as at the time Martyn Waghorn was injured, also with the potential takeover maybe Mel Morris wasn’t interested in spending, we just couldn’t get results we needed, nothing going forward not enough to be a threat up front, so after such a poor start the international break was probably the best time for a change. Expected line-up I would probably say Team for Saturday Marshall Byrne Clarke Davies Buchanan Bird Shinnie Ibe Lawrence Jozwiak Waghorn Or that would probably be the team I would start, with Rooney managing the game, I’m guessing he won’t play For me I feel Wayne Rooney Will takeover until the new ownership is complete, maybe if he gets a few good results they may keep him on until the end of the season who knows, maybe the new owners have someone in pipeline, currently Rooney is favourite for the job with Rafael Benitez and John terry. Takeover is pretty much done, I’m guessing they’re just waiting on it to be announced, apparently set to be announced today (Wednesday 18th or November) or tomorrow (Thursday 19th of November) new owners had a say in the Phillip Cocu sacking, so I’m guessing it’s just a matter of time Dangermen, with our form and where we are in the table there isn’t a massive threat, from free kicks we have got most out of goals from, Martyn Waghorn has been good on free kicks, Shinnie going forward has been good and Jóźwiak has been good who is one of our new signings Phillip Cocu unfortunately failed with us, not sure to why? Maybe the style of football he was trying to play didn’t work? Off the pitch maybe didn’t get the support he needed financially? Takeover is in progress so maybe Mel Morris didn’t want to spend? A lot of fans backed him with his class of the pitch but on the pitch it was just boring, no threat going forward and we didn’t look like beating anyone really. A lot of Derby fans wish him well for the future, unfortunately just couldn’t get it right with us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out of his pie crust Posted November 21, 2020 Report Share Posted November 21, 2020 Interesting stuff DF. I wonder whether Rooney and co will just go ‘back to basics’, compact / tight with some formational consistency to make it tricky for us. We’ve seen that in the past, teams struggling going for the frustrating 0-1. Hopefully, if that is the case, an early goal (Well worked back to front through the lines sort of thing) will open them up a tad. Cheers for the thread as always chief.

I think today we could have done with a "City (H) - 15:00 Sat 21st Nov - What Can We Expect?" Thread. If Kalas IS out , looks like Mariappa was a timely signing. One other COVID-ised, COD getting over a dead leg. Hopefully anyone struggling with knocks pre break will have recovered, Bakinson hopefully better but that would leave us with 8/9 out still. This season, more than any other , seems we have been chasing our tail trying to cover injuries. A third of the way into the season and Holden hasn't had a chance to name his first choice XI. Hope Santa brings us a change of luck in the injury department. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashton_fan Posted November 21, 2020 Report Share Posted November 21, 2020 I'm expecting Rooney to play his best now he's the coach and has ambitions to be the next manager. I remember Russell Osman doing the same when he was given the caretaker role here following the sacking of Denys Smith, he suddenly went from mediocre to one of the best defenders in the league Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curr Avon Posted November 21, 2020 Report Share Posted November 21, 2020 Kalas is fit. And it looks a lot like 4-3-3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon bristol Posted November 21, 2020 Report Share Posted November 21, 2020 That starting line up is something of a relief, i was expecting the under 23s to be playing and everyone out with covid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure whether Derby will be 4231 or 433. A bit of a worry if Bakinson is still suffering - suggests he may have a bad case. Lets hope not though.
