DocMartin 682 Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 We have had a massive team rebuild and some first teamers still to arrive. I expect us to be the club that puts a run together in the second half of the season and rocks into the play-offs as the form team, allowing us the opportunity to put the Wembley curse to bed once and for all. Premier league here we come 👍……………………………….. hic 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites

If it’s true there’s one that nobody is predicting I could imagine olusanya coming straight in for Spence on the right actually. Otherwise I can't think about a surprise in the lineup. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
sanddancer 1,964 Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 I think changes can be expected over many games especially with the amount of arrivals. Finding a balance may take some time but should be transparent 12 to 15 games in. I would like to see a decent post festive season run and a good strong finish, even so I expect a mid to around playoff finish. I just think club change is planned and predict NW not to last until the end of the season.. unless of course we are in the playoffs. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

GrimsbyBoro 1,956 Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 (edited) i think with our current squad I would look to play a diamond in the midfield (harsh on Jones I know). djik, hall, fry and Bola at the back mcnair in front of them and dropping into a back three when the fullbacks go forward morsy and tav/pay as the two crooks in the hole with Ip and Wat up top. it would be very direct hoof ball. or as an alternative go to Christmas tree with wat and tav playing off ip Link to post Share on other sites

Ruathain 96 Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 I think we need quick players in the wide forwards roles today, Derby's Central defenders are 34,35 and 36. Need the big fella up front to keep the central defenders busy and the quick players to run at them and turn them even if they don't score they will cause problems with getting fouled and free kicks. If the new lad is registered I would play him and Jones as wide players, with Uche upfront. Would rest Tav and maybe bring him on towards the end. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Rioch's Braves 711 Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 Derby are a nothing team, I'll be disappointed if we don't take all 3 points, and I think we will 3-1 Boro. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Jimmy 140 Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 Hi guys! Long time without being on here and posting, but thought I'd venture back on and nice to see the familiar faces still knocking around ☺️ Haven't managed to gauge the general concensus from everyone on prospects for this season, but I'm actually quite optimistic for the first time in years. We've had a tough start to the Championship this year, which hasn't been helped with injuries to key players (Tav, Watmore). Two really good results at Fulham and Bristol City, and I don't think the QPR game was the end of the world... a couple of really poor performances from key players in the second half, but the first half was great. I fancy us to win today, and with some pacey signings coming in I've got a feeling we'll keep grinding out ok results until after the first international break, and then we'll really start to see what we're about. Genuinely feel more optimistic for promotion this season, then in the past 5 years. What's wrong with me?! 9 Link to post Share on other sites
