Hedges was ok but he didnt really do much going forward and certainly not to outrank a season (and beyond) of poor and ineffective performances. Weimann is a very useful impact sub to have but as we have seen playing him away from home in particular, he can struggle from the start. So as I said, difficult decision to make. Our wide areas are a very weak position. You look at some of our rivals and the options they have in those positions, and its night and day.

I'm 95% confident that we will not win this game... a late Derby winner wouldn't be surprising in the slightest. Genuinely dreading this one.

I thought Cantwell was atrocious through most of the last 3 months but last few games he has been better. He was decent off the ball against Norwich working hard, and made a few good passes. That said if he became unavailable (injured, suspended, sold) I dont really think that would be much of a concern. I think we would get as much out of Buckley, Weiman or Ohashi in the 10 role. Also obviously not really seen yet if Dennis could slot in there too. So ultimately thats pretty depressing considering he was supposed to be our "proven quality" signing.

If Vince was still in charge there's noway Cena would have turned,he wouldn't have risked the merch sales drop from a Cena heel turn.

Dack with two knackered ACL's is faster than Cantwell is.

Long enough to know that we won't turn up on Saturday. Amazed that anyone think we'll turn up there and win comfortably.

I hate saying it but we are just not good enough to make the play offs. We don’t make enough clear cut chances so we don’t score enough goals. 1 shot on goal on Saturday apparently. It’s as simple as that for me.

The corners are awful, we need somebody else taking them. . I was really surprised how slow he is. He’s got to be the slowest player at the club. I expect him to be benched when Buckley is fit again.

Derby don't concede a lot for a team at the bottom of the league, and we don't score a lot. They don't score a lot either. Eustace will be negative and try and grind points out. 0-0

Updated "race to 70 points" table; Side note, i'm also absolutely sick of Coventry with their annual mid-season playoff charge, after being shite for the first half of the season. Anyway, the next 4 games are vital; Derby (a) - 24th Stoke (a) - 19th Cardiff (h) - 20th Portsmouth (a) - 17th You look at that, and think that a team aiming for playoffs should be getting 12 points from those games... I think Sunderland and Coventry would. However, we have a team capable of getting bummed 3-0 by a horribly out of form Swansea. This is the difference, I can see us getting maybe 6 points, if we're being generous. Hopefully the return of Tronstad and Ohashi, plus the addition of our new Gaffer, can make up the difference. In an ideal world, we win all 4 of those... this would put us on 64 points, needing only 6 points from our remaining 7 matches (0.86 PPG) to hit 70 points. Playoffs would be very much on the cards. Come on lads, please!

How long have you been watching Rovers ?

Weimann and Hedges were on the bench for a reason. Neither are starting players as we’ve seen over the course of the season. I agree Dolan and Cantwell were poor on Saturday. Dennis is going to be banned and Buckley is injured. All of a sudden we’re scraping the barrel again. What’s happened with Woodrow ? Surely he must come into the reckoning now.

Especially as Mowbray was here for 5 and a half years of that 14!

13 games without a win for Derby Haven't scored at home since Boxing Day. I would put everything I own on a home win here, and I bet they will hardly break a sweat doing it like Swansea the other week. The most obvious result of the weekend.

Is it really that tough judging on the last game performances. Karbgo, Weimann and Hedges were good, Dolan and Cantwell poor. How is that tough decision to make? Have you taken into account that Gueye and Kargbo unlike to be able more 70/75 mins for obvious reasons.

I don’t mind him making a stray pass or losing the ball in the final third if he’s putting a shift in. I think earlier in the season he just moped when he lost it but at least now he’s running back and nicking the ball. Definitely not hit the heights I was expecting for assists or goals though, his set piece delivery’s are poor as well.

Other than the odd result Derby haven't been conceedung many. But are really struggling to create and score. We also know that feeling. Team selection is interesting. The back seven pick themselves, but that is where the fun starts. People suggesting Cantwell out left, Ohashi out right, Kargbo out left, Hedges out right. I wouldn't try and be too clever in this game. I'd start Dolan, Hedges, Ohashi and Gueye. All in their preferred ppositions. Its a basic requirement of football to be able to run. All four of them can and will.

That's my squad too I think minus Batth that's our strongest line up

If it happens, you just have!!

This is potentially one big 🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌 Derby have lost their last three games, bottom of the table, and Eustace asking the boys to use their togetherness to do him a really big favor. And they need to avoid the drop with a moral boosting win. Own goal from Dolan? 🤔

Pears Brittain. Carter. Hyam. Ribeiro Travis. Sonny Kargbo. Weimann. Cantwell Gueye Subs - Toth, JRC, Sanderson, Forshaw, Dolan, Hedges, Woodrow, ACD, Ohashi I think we have to get Cantwell out of the #10 position. He doesn’t carry a goal threat, nor does he assist. Imo he’s better from deeper / the left and could be a good foil for a flying player like Kargbo on the other side. Plus, we need to get goalscorers like Weimann as close to Gueye as possible. Derby 1 - 3 Rovers - Gueye x2 and Kargbo.

Toth Brittain Carter Hyam Ribeiro Tronstad Travis Ohashi Cantwell Kargo Gueye — Options off the bench: Dolan, Weimann, Hedges, Cozier-Duberry, Sanderson, Woodrow, JRC, Pears

I think he's quickly running out of 'just don't lose' games. They need to start winning - they're already 4 points from safety and have played a game more than Hull in 21st. They're 7 points off Cardiff in 20th.
