Right Then, Formation For Derby

[Matt Morriss 69]

For me weve got to start goin for it a bit so id go with..

               Lita         Sibierski

                     Hoolahan

     Bertrand   Russell     Fozzy     Croft

 Drury   Clingan/Troy/Omozusi        Semmy

                        Marshall

 

I think hoolahan needs to come back into the side and we need to get used to the fact that he''s a flair player and will lose the ball a bit, as long as Russell and Fozzy are close by we should cope with it. Hucks used to lose it a lot, as does flippin Ronaldinho, point is with Barca tho that they built the team around there star man. We used to with Hucks, thats why Drury looked so good cause he always had so much defending to do.

Weve got to start getting the best out of Hoolohan cause since he''s been out of side weve looked terrible, one dimensional attacking with semmy/croft.

Clingans back so they should both start. Perhaps give Troy and Omozusi a go, or Troy and Drury left sided centre back so we can have Clingan back in the holding/starting attacks role. He was brilliant at that from what ive seen, just sits, spoils and starts. Great so far and he''s been missed.

Wheres Shackell when you need him also, starting to look a bad decision to let him go. He should never have been sold until the Doc was fit, he clearly was to fund Sibi''s deal and thats not looking like a great bit of business at the mo unless Sibi comes good.

I reckon we will see a flat back four, 3 across the middle, Lupoli and Lita upfront with Sibierski effectively playing in the hole.  Expect very little in the way of width tomorrow.

i reckon derby might take issue with that formation you appear to be using 12 players

-                             Marshall                  - Otsemobor      Omozusi      Henville     Bertrand-                                Clingan                                           -Croft                                             Hoolahan         -                    Sibierski                                   -                                           Lupoli                       -                         Lita-That is my ideal line up for tomorrow.I think Clingan needs to be played where he is used to, to provide full effect. I think missing him in the midfield has hurt us recently, and thats shown with the performances shown since he''s left. Putting him in the defence will limit the kind of play he enjoys, and i think thats something we should try to stay away from (e.g. Russell as striker, Bertrand as left winger, Sibierski as striker...etc.).I think Sibierski should also be used in the midfield. With Lupoli and Lita both in the side to make and score goals, despite their unquestionable ability, lack height, and Sibierski deals with that, while playing where he plays best, and has played most of his career.I think this line up also makes use of the developed partnerships throughout the side. Bertrand/Hoolahan/Lupoli always combine really well on the left, and of course Otsemobor/Croft on the right to add that extra flair and pace, and that may also compliment and combine well with Lita on the right hand side of the strike force as the pacy finisher.It''s a great shame we don''t have Kennedy and Stefanvic as thats another solid partnership, but I''ve heard good things about Troy, and Omozusi is not bad cover.Thats my line up, and i can only hope Roeders watching, cos i reckon this side could get us a few results!

Lets go with Hoola Lupo and Lita.

Forgot about Patty, dunno where he''d go

[norfolkbroadslim 223]

I don''t really know the Derby players too well, but I think they will go 4-5-1

[Shyster 0]

4-4-2:

Marshall

Otsemobor - rb

Omozusi - cb (Would prefer Spillane - madness that he hasn''t been recalled)

Archibald-Henville - cb

Drury - lb

Croft (Would''ve preferred Chadwick) - rw

Sibierski - attacking/cm

Clingan - holding/cm

Bertrand - lw

Lupoli - fw

Lita - fw

Subs:

Nelson

Russell

Hoolahan

Koroma

Lappin (in case of defensive injuries)

 

 

Failing the above line-up a 3-5-2 formation of:

Marshall

Omozusi - rcb

Archibald-Henville - cb

Drury - lcb

Otsemobor - dmr

Sibierski - mr

Hoolahan - amc

Clingan - ml

Bertrand - dml

Lita - fw

Lupoli - fw
