Looks a defensive minded set up for a home game.

Maybe to take the sting out of a Derby high press and go for it later on?

No Vip??...

 

[Ringwood]

Does allow Key and Tymon to push on but who puts the ball in from crosses

 

[magicdaps10]

VIP needs to start surely?

 

[cmajack]

No Vip??...

No Vipotnik, Eom or Bianchini, jesus christ, what 3 wonderful forward signings they have been.

 

[A4Jack]

Again I was proved wrong against Leeds but my word that's Carvalhal esque vs Liverpool

 

[FearOfAJackPlanet]

If Fulton can contribute the way he did last week, then I'm ok with it.

We did surprisingly well last week set up like this - it wasn't a defensive rearguard at all, we got forward well and had good moments out wide with Ronald and Tymon as wing backs and O'Brien further forward ahead of Fulton and Franco, so I'm fine with asking the players to run it back again. We have scope to change it if needed and VP will be champing at the bit to come on later.

Unchanged side and formation it seems.
Cullen was ineffective in this formation last week, I would at the very least have rewarded Vipotnik with a start

 

[Ringwood]

Elder not fit for them there goes the long throw threat

 

[Swans Jack]

Just hope I am wrong again. Would of liked Vip and more attacker minded team. Strange one this. The only thing I can think of is we are aware of Derby physical play? And need Fulton and extra back up.

Well we wouldn’t really know. None look any worse than Cullen as a forward. I suppose he does get on the end of some things, and chases around, but he’s mostly ineffectual.

 

[Ringwood]

They will be sitting deep.. ideally need a presence up top. We will be a threat out wide if we can get behind their wing backs

 

[ABSwan]

They're up for this

Not so far. We haven’t got into the game yet.

 

[monmouth]

When are we coming out of the changing room?
