Derby County (a - League Cup): Score Predictions, Starting XI & Match Thread

Hope that we ditch the 3 centre halves experiment. My line up (if all fit).

Wickens

Darikwa Hamer Bradley Reach

Jefferies McGrandles Varfolomeev

Reeco Street Thorn

New signings may come in if signed in time and ready to go. Moylan plays if he stays.
 
My line-up -

Wickens

Darikwa Hamer Bradley Reach

McGrandles Varfolomeev

Street House Reeco

Draper

I guess could try Elder and Thorn in place of Reach and House (esp if Ben is not fully fit) and Coubis or Elerewe in place of Bradley if Sonny isn't fit.


As for the score, not sure but expect we will concede a few goals. 3-1 Derby.
 
I'm just another season-ticket holder and accept my limited understanding of the game, but don't understand playing 5 at the back without any natural attacking/crossing wing-backs. Reeco played in an inverted role also means limited crossing of the ball except at corners & free-kicks. If the 6' 8" striker comes in, I'd hope someone also arrives who can get the best out of him. 3-0 Derby, but I still hope for the best. U.T.I!
 
Wickens

Reach and Darikwa are natural wing backs in my eyes and Reach's delivery is top class imho, enough for me to think that he will play further forward if Elder is going to play LWB
 
Wickens
Darikwa. Hamer Bradley Reach
McGrandles Ivan
House
Street. Draper Reeco

1-2

Neither of the above will be correct though.
 
Our forward options don't look anywhere near Championship ready.
Hope we have some incoming this week. Next at latest

I'm hoping the Norwegian lad is here for Saturday, I'd chuck him straight in he's been playing so shouldn't have a problem with fitness.
 
Wickens
Darwikra Bradley Coubis Reach
McGrandles Varfolomeev
House
Street Mikkel Hackett

Draper if the big man still hasn't signed.
Hamer if Bradley isn't fit.
Would also like to have a bit more of a look at Smith.

We're trying to sign a Norwegian as well as the Dane playing in Sweden?

I can think of one Norwegian striker who would be a useful signing 😁
