I wonder if he will go
Stanamic - Franco - Yalc today?

Who knows? I suspect that he sees Yalc as providing energy after an hour or so.

Yes I think that’s what he thinks also

I would be excited though to see those 3 start

I'm slightly more nervous today for this. As its a big one. We could shoot up the tabel with the win and build our confidence with being the worse team in the division for away wins... Gulp... We will control the game as Derby have the lowest possession stats in the division. Just need to kill them off as they have a bad record at home.

Look at that bench. We aren’t going to burn out. 90 minute game, not all about the starting XI anymore

You can rate a team by the bench , best squad we have had for a very long time .
Yalcoure , Widell , Walta , Nunes , all could be starters .

Former Swan Josh Vickers in goal for them. Didn’t realise he was with Derby

 

[Ringwood]

Derby playing 3 strikers ...should be midfield gaps for us to exploit. Hope we can handle the transition and long balls

There was a pre-season game in Germany(?) and the guy doing the commentary (obviously not a swan) kept calling him Ackers.

Cullen is my only surprise in that lineup. I feel that games often drift him by, would love to be proven wrong though
That said, when you look at that bench that we got it is packed with game changing players

Yalcouye, Nunes, Key, Ward, Widell, Walta, Fulton, Samuel-Smith, Fisher

That is arguably the strongest bench we have had for four or five years

 

[malc]

Big test for Cabango & Burgess with the Derby front 4 .
Agyemang is a threat , we know about Brewster . Szmodics & Bereton Diaz useful .

 

[bakajack]

It is indeed a pretty fearsome front line, however on the other hand neither of those two wingers want to be doing defensive duties so there will be opportunities to isolate full backs against our own wingers
