Derby (A) 29/4/17 Build-Up & Match Thread

[Lycan]

A Costa return is still being talked down - doubt we will see him again this season (& very possibly beyond that)

At least Doherty & Lonergan appear unlikely to be available

I say we should play him anyway. After all if his hamstring goes he's got all summer to get over it...

Still can't believe a Wolves manager actually said that.

Anyone who compares Lambert to Saunders (other than "this is at least recognisably a football manager, and this isn't") needs to have a serious word with themselves.

:icon_lol:

 

[FrankMunro-371]

Given that we seem to be much better away from Molinuex, then I would not be surprised with a win, though I think a draw is the more likely outcome.

 

[YoungWolf]

Looks like Edwards is captain so no Batth...

Hopefully means Hause is back in after being dropped for god knows why.

 

[YoungWolf]

Hey,that's not as awful as I expected. Where has Gibbs-White gone though?

Burgoyne

Coady
Williamson
Hause
Saville

Edwards
Saiss
Evans

Marshall
Dicko
Cavaleiro

Subs: Ruddy, Silvio, Batth, Mason, Graham, Bright, Jon Dadi

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

In reality I expect Silvio to be dropped for unexplained reasons, Edwards to play despite offering as much as Lieutenant Dan out of Forrest Gump would in a hopscotch contest, Jigsaw Mason to play somewhere and Dicko to play up front even though he needs a pre-season, as per the manager.

Three out of four.

 

[YoungWolf]

Cavaleiro up against Chris Baird - need to be making the most of that.

 

[Tyrannosaurus Dan]

Eight changes but Edwards still starts. Again. What a surprise.

 

[Derby Wolf]

Just arrived, ill endeaver to provide updates if possible. With the exception of Edwards and MGW (if fit) reasonably happy with the team. Hoping for a Graham run out at some point. Meaningful of at least 30-45 mins.

 

[YoungWolf]

We've decided against letting MGW go with England to the u17 Euros, a decision which I disagree with. Even more perplexing that he's not in the squad today. I hope bright and Graham get on.

 

[YoungWolf]

And we are off!

 

[YoungWolf]

Whoever the co-commentator, trying to work it out, just said Saville is right footed. Sigh.

it's Paul Butler!

 

[YoungWolf]

Derby hit the bar after Saiss lost possession, then Burgoyne saved again.

 

[Derby Wolf]

Really sloppy from - i think Saiss - Derby are in and hit the bar.bounces down and away. Second shot that Burgoyne collects at the second time of asking.

Ince through but fluffs his lines. Living a charmed life defensively.

 

[YoungWolf]

Marshall has swapped to the left to give Saville more support, struggling with Ince's movement behind him it seems. Cav to the right

 

[Derby Wolf]

1-0 that has been coming. Simple cross and nobody following nugent who nods in from close range.

 

[darlowolf64]

And that is the problem with playing midfielders at full back... zero tracking and piss poor marking

 

[machin05]

Ugh

 

[slink]

What a surprise that Ince is running Saville ragged, piss poor really.
