What formation will GR go for and which players will he put where. I think he will stick with 1-4-2-3-1
Carson in goal.

Back 4 of Wisdom, Keogh, Davies, Forsyth

Next 2 of Hudds (he is available after his ban isn't he?) and..... I think he'll go BJ

The 3 Weimann, Vydra, Lawrence

Nuge at the top

I would have the same back 5 with Hudds if available in front of them. Another bank of 4 with Weimann, Vydra, Palmer and Lawrence (you might play BJ on the left and leave Palmer or Lawro on the bench).

Nuge up top.
 
Why not both? GT is the better ball player IMO, so let Ledley sit back and give GT some freedom to connect with the front players.
 
So Sheff Utd and Bristol City drop points, Preston lose, Borough 0-2 at half time. Surely to god we can finally gain a tempo with 3 points
 
GR has gone for....

Derby County: Carson, Baird, Keogh (C), Davies, Forsyth; Johnson, Thorne; Weimann, Vydra, Lawrence; Jerome
Substitutes: Roos, Palmer, Wisdom, Pearce, Nugent, Ledley, Thomas
 
Coleman baited a trap and we walked right ino it. 1-4-5-1. Flood the middle and we continue to try to one touch our way through the most crowded part of the pitch. Stupid.

Exactly, why play two holding midfielders and leave Palmer on the bench when you are playing a team who haven't won in 10 games and sit on the bottom of the league?

Lawrence is no good out on the wing he needs a more central position to be effective and why leave out wisdom?????

On the other hand, we have now failed to beat Sunderland in our last 12 meetings....

We haven't won in 8 games either.

Lawrence should not start on Monday IMO.

A 1-4-1-4-1 would have matched their 1-4-5-1 and not given them the advantage they made for themselves. Put us on the front foot even more...... hindsight, 20-20 and all that.

We need to start looking at the oppo and work out how to beat them. Which one of a dozen formations will be best against them. It aint rocket science.............. is it?
