how it was yesterday.

lansbury crofts fox surmanand bring on hoolahan and macnamee in last 20 - 25 mins of game to add pace and skill.

[Bethnal Yellow and Green 2,424]

Cloughie at Derby has jumped on the 4-2-3-1 bandwagon so I think we should possibly go;

Surman-Crofts-Lansbury-Smith

Lansbury looked best yesterday when he drifted towards the centre and he could pull the strings in midfield. Kris Commons is a threat for Derby and he will come in from their left, so someone like Smith there to counter him could work well.

Although going back to the diamond could work well against the 4-2-3-1 and having Crofts deeper could be important.

Derby like ourselves like to knock the ball around but have grafters as well in Green & Savage so it should be a good game.

I''ve heard talk of Drury returning at left back so don''t forget about Lappin, he must be pushing Surman very hard and brings of things to the team.

what about:

smith crofts surman

lansbury

Hoolahan

Holt

very attacking and could work against dearby. ???

4-3-2-1 formation

[Lewie - Holt Our Saviour 0]

What about 4 2 2 2       Smith   CroftsLansbury           Hoolahan/Surman       Holt      Martin

[O.T.B.C 1]

I don'' think that Surman will be risked. He is still recovering and trying to find some match fitness and looked like he had picked up a knock.

I would go for our Diamond for this away match

Crofts, Smith, Angela with Hooly in his normal position.

I really really hope we get a chance to see the diamond with Lansbury, Surman and Hoolahan....surely those three creative attacking minds will cause havoc!!
