Pre match 40 minute appearance in The Chequers.
Was going to drive up, but nah, fuck it, let the train take the strain and spend the afternoon in the pub. Mark E Smith would have approved.
Individual fuck ups finished us off last time. Cut out the mistakes, keep creating chances and we are in with a shout today.
I'd keep Taylor in and give Elsnik about an hour.
Would starting with Woolery be seen as a good bit of management? Discuss.

Why don't you knock it off with them negative waves? Why don't you dig how beautiful it is out here? Why don't you say something righteous and hopeful for a change? Crap!

I'd rest Elsnik. He played twice last week, not long back and we don't want him re-injured. Plus, away from home, we've done OK without him.
Woolery is an interesting one. Depends how he's reacted to his humiliation. I'd play him over Norris, in not Df. Fully expect him to be benched.
What about Iandolo and retaining 3-5-3, or switching Taylor in as you say, or Taylor and Knoyle in 4-3-3/4-4-2(can't see the latter).

Can you imagine the fucking shit Flitcroft would get for resting him?

yes. But thankfully the team isn't decided by social media.
I'd imagine Derby's medical staff will have a say anyway

I think if he's fit enough to play the minutes he has recently, he should be ok. Could be a great option from the bench, though, if things aren't going well. As you said, we've done okay without him away from home.

I'd start Taylor and Elsnik. About time Taylor got another 90 mins under the belt and he can manage it. Maybe start Elsnik and see how he's doing after 60mins. If he looks laboured or the game is decided (either way) by that point then switch him out. Looked like Gordon offered some integral passing in the build up to the goals and I believe two assists? He seems more comfortable with technical players around. Understandably he links well with Elsnik as they know each others abilities. We need to sign a decent centre back to compliment Preston and a holding midfielder to strengthen the link between defence and attack. If so I think we'd be a lot tougher to beat. I'll go for 1-2. Banks and Keshi, with Elsnik hitting a thronker against the woodwork. All goals in the 2nd half.

I would go with the line up that finished the game on Saturday with Woolery on the bench as an impact sub.

Cyclists do it as it makes you more aerodynamic, along with making massaging easier. Marginal gains etc. perhaps Flitters is of the Brailsford School. How many of our lot have got asthma

I know I have been harsh on Flitcroft, but even I think he'll play a GK and not go with the 3-5-3.

I’d play Knoyle or Purkiss as WB - no Iandolo. Dunne does fuck all as far as I can see, so he can go. I’ve tried so hard to get behind Norris but he was dreadful Saturday - missed one on one, cut inside and blasted it into the Bank and a complete air shot, albeit it led to Elsnik scoring. Woolery should start.
I’d also hook Gordon for Taylor.
