Sarumite 86 Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 I think the possible changes for today will be Forshaw for the suspended howson. We might even see a return of Clayton to the bench. Traore/Tavernier for Johnson. I can’t see Leadbitter being dropped now.. or any other of the recent starting 11 Link to post Share on other sites
Smoggydownsouth 1,621 Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 Safe travels DS... anyone heard that Clayton and Forshaw starting today? Link to post Share on other sites
thomas 501 Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 my team for tomorrow:- SHOTTON -----AYALA FRY---- GIBSON CHRISTIE CLAYTON FORSHAW FABIO -----------------LEADBITTER ---------------------BRITT Nice 0-1 to derby you have their once shotton gets an own goal Link to post Share on other sites
Will 2,958 Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 Do we need a new thread for a team prediction? I find it interesting you say Derby are one of the most in form teams in the league when they're only 1 point better than us over the last 5 games. Link to post Share on other sites
sanddancer 1,964 Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 Which BORO will turn up, who will be played, what formation will we play. That’s the issue, we don’t have an identity. This game is the game to really show us who we are and where we are as a club. How far we have come and where we are heading. Link to post Share on other sites

the_littlest_hobo 3 Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 Is there another thread about our starting XI? Apologies I must have missed it if there is. And yes, Derby are one of the most in-form teams in the league. Which part of that angers you so much? So far today I have been called a racist and been berated for starting a thread about the team I would pick for today and mentioning that our opponents are currently 3rd in the form table (always based on the past 6 games by the way not 5) so we need to be at it from the start. Weird. :huh: Link to post Share on other sites
Betamaxman 14 Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 Despite our good league position, we haven't really beaten anyone decent apart from Sheffield United. That's not a disaster. If you look at Watford's results from the season that they went up, they amassed a good majority of their points from the bottom half teams. However, we do need to get some results from top half sides. Today against Derby would be an excellent time to start that. Fingers crossed! I think next weekend's match against Bristol City is going to be a really tough game. If we can get a point from that it will be a good result, so three points today would be very welcome. COME ON BORO!!! Link to post Share on other sites

We might even see a return of Clayton to the bench. Traore/Tavernier for Johnson. I can’t see Leadbitter being dropped now.. or any other of the recent starting 11 I thought that Leadbitter looked slightly off the pace against Birmingham. We have an abundance of quality in our squad so I would choose to utilise that and start Adam Clayton. Howson is suspended and I think the closest player we have to him is Baker. However, with such little recent game time I think Forshaw may be the safer option. I would not trust Traore from the start and I think Tavernier may benefit from a slight rest. In addition to that, including Traore in the side in his favoured right wing role would mean moving Downing to the left. I think this would be a mistake as him and Christie are building a useful partnership on that side with \Stewart cutting inside and Cyrus overlapping. Johnson is trusted by the manager due to his diligence in protecting his full back and carrying out his defensive responsibilities. I think against a team like Derby it would be more prudent to begin the game with reliable players rather than mavericks like Traore. Of course that is just my option and it will be interesting to see the team that Garry Monk sends out. UTB Link to post Share on other sites

I hope the racist comment was tongue in cheek, I often get Forshaw and Leadbitter mixed up when I watch games on the TV, I don’t think that makes me a racist though. Link to post Share on other sites

Not sure Leads has 3 games in 6 days in him anymore i actually put that team on as a test to see what reaction it would get. because it is the most negative defensive team i could put out without making it a blatant micky take. 4cb's, 2 fullbacks 3 defensive barely creative cm's and britt. :D shotton and leadbitter getting early abuse but still forgetting gibbo at left back and only 1 attacking player lol. i was bored :P Link to post Share on other sites
Ever_the_optimist 41 Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 Enjoy the game DS, send regards to Daniel! I’m feeling hopeful for this, but as Sanddancer says, it’s so difficult to know what kinda performance we’re gonna get at the moment - a win would be huge though, so fingers crossed Link to post Share on other sites

I was a sucker for getting Barmby and Hignett mixed up also back in the day, easily done at times, especially as my eyesight isn't the best! Link to post Share on other sites
