BoroMart 139 Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 Got to get some minutes into some of these players. GK - Pears - need to test him against a better quality team than he is used to RB - Dijksteel - Get him used to playing at the riverside CB - Wood - test him out again, see if he has kicked on CB - Friend - if fit, will be a good player to lead Wood through a game LB - Bola - need to give him a go and challenge Coulson for LB CDM - Howson - back in CM now Dijksteel is here CM - Tav- waited patiently needs his chance CM - Saville - fresh legs LW - Coulson - I think he is better suited to a forward position than defence RW - Browne - again, we need to see what he has got and make sure that Marvin is under pressure for his spot CF - Gestede - if Britt is injured at any point we need to make sure Gestede is fully match fit and confident Link to post Share on other sites

wilsoncgp 9,283 Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 Is it only the West Stand open for this game!? Or is that just discounted season card tickets? Link to post Share on other sites
wilsoncgp 9,283 Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 I've just ordered my ticket for the game now to print at home but haven't received anything. Pretty sure it used to come through straight away to my e-mail in the past. I'll give it until a bit later on I guess, but I can't actually print anything yet as far as I can tell. Also, further to what I asked in the other thread, seems they explicitly don't activate season cards for this match. It seems like they must be expecting a low turn-out as only West Stand is available. Or they're moving all season card holders into the West Stand. I've no idea, first time holder so any info appreciated! Link to post Share on other sites

When it's West Stand only then it's because they are expecting a low turnout so don't want to open all parts of the ground as it costs them more. Link to post Share on other sites

I figured must be the case, same as the home friendly then. Yeah, remember when working as a steward it was a good starter match at Derby because all the fans were in one stand and it was easier to keep track of everything. Link to post Share on other sites

They haven't even filled the West Stand up so there's no point opening the entire stadium and pay more staff to work. They have certainly had the South Stand open for cup games last season but only one bar and it was always dead. Link to post Share on other sites
Randy Sandwich 209 Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 (edited) Looking forward to tomorrow night, enjoying the transformation in our team in what is a very short time. Hopefully we will see the new signings get a full game. Edited August 12, 2019 by Randy Sandwich 1 Link to post Share on other sites
2plus2 290 Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 Would opt for a strong team. New players to get some game-time. A more balance line-up. Coulson further forward. Assombalonga upfront to get his tally up. Rest Clayton. Give Pears a run-out (he made some good stops pre-season). Maybe even give Walker an opportunity (we might need him as the season unfolds). Tav needs some minutes. Ayala and/or Wood if Fry/Friend are still not ready. Shotton not allowed within 3 miles of any football pitch in the country. Injuries permitting... Pears Dijk Friend Fry Bola McNair Tav Wing Browne Coulson Assombalonga Link to post Share on other sites

I'd much rather give Fletcher a chance to establish himself as the main striker. Britt hasn't looked good in the last couple of games, and his goal against Luton only went in because the keeper momentarily turned into Mr Tickle. Link to post Share on other sites

LBP 3,035 Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 Feel like we'll be average in the league this season but the cups could be where we find success, knock out a couple of prem clubs with the gegenpress perhaps? 1 Link to post Share on other sites
