EmersonsRed Posted September 16, 2016 Report Share Posted September 16, 2016 Tomorrow's game will for me, tell us all where we are in terms of this division and how mentally strong our players are. We have dropped five points in our last two games that we shouldn't have done, but we must go into tomorrow with confidence and play our own game. This Derby side may be full of talent and we may have a crap record against them but they've scored two goals all season and one of those was in the league cup. We must for once show some level of defensive solidity instead of rolling over time after time. Scoring goals isn't our problem. Conceding is. An interesting game ahead. COYR.

Jerseybean Posted September 16, 2016 Report Share Posted September 16, 2016 Team selection and particularly those not even on the bench is going to reveal lots and will be insightful I think. Other than GOD and Engall I believe everyone is available/fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivorguy Posted September 16, 2016 Report Share Posted September 16, 2016 What will be the most revealing feature will be Lee's team and bench selection Think we could be in for a surprise or two Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Portland Bill Posted September 16, 2016 Report Share Posted September 16, 2016 8 minutes ago, cynic said: The last game showed to me that we are still short of a couple of experienced players at this time. The team showed a soft underbelly and bottled the game. It'll be interesting to see just how mentally strong they are after that, especially without GON who is a massive loss imo. I think (hope) there is enough about them to beat Derby especially given Derbys form. Re your last few words, what worries me is that their form has to, and will change soon!. Hopefully not tomorrow though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bar BS3 Posted September 16, 2016 Report Share Posted September 16, 2016 How exactly did we "drop 5 points that we shouldn't have done"..? Agreed, we dropped 3 points V Wednesday but surely we rescued 1 point at Rotherham..? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so then I think this will be the first time Bryan and Smith have played in midfield together which will be interesting to see. Also hope Matthews starts as the only way to get fit is by playing them so I would rather he just started Matthews and korey and hope they are sharp enough. A gamble that needs to be taken, especially with o'neil missing and little struggling at this level. 2 changes for me tomorrow , Korey in for G O N . ( No surprise there .) But the big surprise will be Patterson in for Tomlin ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a ex Derby player I can see where you maybe coming from , but I reckon there will be big changes for the Fulham cup match and Frankie Estrand Matthews will come in for R O D Flinty and Little plus probably 3/ 4 other changes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Add the Flint/ R O D total mix up for Rotherhams first goal, plus the howler for Wednesday's second goal. But I may well be 100% wrong! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to think with the level the club is at now they rely on slightly more than just "hope" when deciding if a player is sharp enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think his point was we should have never been behind in the first place and to have a game that one sided that we don't win, is points dropped. I'm inclined to agree! If we're in any way serious about challenging at the right end we have to cut out soft goals. 7 games, 0 clean sheets is a worry. You don't do anything in the league without being tight at the back and we're not there yet. We can't keep relying on scoring 2/3 goals per game to get the job done.

People were disappointed when we came back from 2 down on Saturday as we should have won, people were disappointed we chucked away a 2 goal lead as we should have won, I've come to the conclusion that people will only be happy if we win every week, anything else is a disaster! Sometimes I wonder if people understand football in that losing is part of it, and makes the wins all the better when they do come along, it's part of the fun surely! People posting on here FFS whenever we let a goal in is my new pet hate! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davefevs Posted September 17, 2016 Report Share Posted September 17, 2016 I don't think any/many have second guessed LJ's selection's this season....this weekend isn't gonna be any easier. It is easy to drop someone on a bad performance, but 1) you have to believe their replacement will come in and do better, and 2) do you give them the chance to go out and show you in was a one-off. Some players get more chances to prove themselves than others. That's football. Here;s my starting eleven, plus subs: O'Donnell Little, Flint, Magnússon, Golborne Reid, Pack Paterson, Tomlin, Bryan Abraham Subs: Fielding, Moore, Ekstrand, Brownhill, O'Dowda, Smith, Wilbraham No Freeman, Engvall (fitness), Matthews (fitness), O'Neil (suspended), DiGirolamo (fringe) Can definitely see Paterson starting, and Reid / Brownhill / Smith it could be any if them.
