    I feel that we need to focus on what we do best and get after Derby from the kick off because If we worry too much about them then I think we could struggle like we did at their place.

    You have to steam roller your way out of this league.

    9 of those players over 6ft with 5 no 6ft 3 and over.

    Big and strong and over power Derby with an added bit of Kane and Connell flair.

    So many different opinions on the team selection. It will be funny at 2pm tomorrow when more of a consensus of people then agree that the one that really counts will be wrong. Hopefully that consensus hasn't swelled by 5pm

    Dropping McAtee, Williams, Cadden AND Philips is down right daft. I must be imagining our recent form if the team needs that much of an overhaul!

    I'm not saying drop Phillips just pointing out we have some big/ tall players now in our squad.

    You can bully your way out of this league

    Imagine kane and connell putting in free kicks and corners with Pines McCart Earl, Cosgrove Russell in the box. Quite a physical presence that and Cole _Degiviny are not small either.

    Certainly not saying that is what we should do but it's a tactic. Cotter could also launch in his long throws

    I bet Val Ishmael would be utilising those tactics.

    The main issue defensively last time we played Derby was when they stopped playing tippy-tappy at the back and started launching it long for Collins up against Durand. From that point they took complete advantage of the French lad's weaknesses and absolutely pummelled him. So if we're going 'horses for courses' I'd bring Pines in for Durand.

    Collins is out though and Mendez-Laing played through the middle in their last game. If they go that way again it's another reason to play Pines instead of Durand as the American is way quicker than L'Escargot.

    I'm not sure what you've seen in Cosgrove to believe that he's capable of bullying anyone.

    We've just got Williams back in to his correct position and now you want to bugger up the other side playing a centre back on the wing.

    Honestly, have a word with yourself.

    In what world is O`Keefe a more solid option at wing-back that Jordan Williams?

    I think Mels been the most improved player since the Derby away game.
    I think tomorrow Collins will be juggling between MaCart or Pines.

    Kinda hoping it is Pines. I think a back 3 of DeGiviny Pines Earl has a serious amount of potential.
