Sheaf & Kelly holding with Hamer close to O’Hare ? Interested to see how we line up

[AFCCOVENTRY]

We need to tighten up and having Kelly, Sheaf and Hamer in midfield will hopefully add a bit more steel in the middle.

Tenants against Landlords, Bingo!!!!

 

[Magwitch]

Got to assume Rose is injured or ill not been at his best since his return but would surely have atleast made the bench if fit.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

0-0

How we playing?

 

[Liquid Gold]

Could Sheaf be in defence

 

[CanadianCCFC]

Could Sheaf be in defence

Doubt it tbh with Leo on the bench

 

[Cov kid 55]

Bapaga on the bench - good to see.

 

[Johhny Blue]

0-0

Of course it is. It hasn’t started yet

 

[Johnnythespider]

How we playing?

Tight, liking the clean sheet but a bit toothless up front

 

[stevefloyd]

I’ve got an hour to get a very awake and excitable 15 month old to sleep so I can watch the game in peace with a few ales.....

No chance with the 2 month old, but she can’t move and can be easily quietened with milk, so she has no choice but to watch the game with me.

Seems like your letting in more than our defence

Who's the Brummy guy on sky?

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

It's a trick, 5 subs at half time
Tight, liking the clean sheet but a bit toothless up front

Think we can see this out till 7.45

 

[Colin Steins Smile]

Does anyone know why Rose is not available?

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

Who's the Brummy guy on sky?

It’s Michael Johnson I think

 

[Nick]

Look at the differences in bench ha

 

[Perryccfc]

Hate that he’s changed the shape. He obviously knows more than me though

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Does anyone know why Rose is not available?

Just broke up with Cal, not taking it well

 

[clint van damme]

I can't hear Karankas name without thinking of Athletico mince

 

[oldskyblue58]

Looks it is more defensive and a side picked to stop conceding so easily. Walker is going to need the midfield getting around him quickly. Certainly looks more solid. I hope it works we need to get something from this game. Think it will be a low scoring draw

 

[Nick]

I reckon their bench is worth more than our squad

 

[Sky_Blue_Daz]

Gonna win this 2-1 sheaf to score

 

[Jamesimus]

Is this Robins bringing out the Xmas tree early then?

Intrigued to see how this is going to pan out. Looking to get a win, yet he's changed the system. Are the players going to be shit at doing this new formation for a while?

Anyway, let the group therapy session commence...

 

[Johnnythespider]

Does anyone know why Rose is not available?

Black spot

 

[hamil99]

2-1 cov. Sheaf, Hamer.

Can't see us keeping a clean sheet (hope to be proven wrong) but I do feel we can win this.

O'hare and shippers will do that

 

[ccfc92]

Nice little chat about Derby, brilliant.

 

[Great_Expectations]

Disappointed with the same of shape and (on paper) it looks defensive to me. I also worry about the lack of width, especially if it is a back four and therefore the full backs won’t have as much license to get forward.

But something needed to change and MR obviously believes this is it. A change in formation enhanced our fortunes last year, maybe it does the same again?

 

[RegTheDonk]

Hate that he’s changed the shape. He obviously knows more than me though

Mixing it up, keep the opposition guessing? As long as our lads know the plan, that's the main thing.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

O'hare and shippers will do that

Or it'll just end up like the box with Walker stranded up front and us chasing possession

 

[ccfc92]

Hate that he’s changed the shape. He obviously knows more than me though

I think it's a good move, we need to adapt and make some tweaks to get results.

 

[Johnnythespider]

If we lose this the taxi thread will be busy later

 

[clint van damme]

Nice little chat about Derby, brilliant.

Im sure we all appreciate the stunning insight it gave us though.
'will Wayne Rooney be the next Derby manager'.
'Only time will tell.'

Razor sharp analysis.

Edit : This is a fucking joke, 5 mins for Derby chat.
