He needs to use crabseek. I’ve tested it myself and it’s almost perfect. Just one small flaw. I wanted to jizz up my CV but apparently I’ve declared war on Italy.

Might need some tweaking…

Feeling positive about this one. The performance last week vs Hull was awful of course, but the signings we've made since then have really given me confidence that we can push on now. A win tomorrow, plus a starting-quality CB through the door before Monday is over, and I'll be chuffed.

Certainly expect multiple changes from the Hull game. Both to get fresh legs into the side, and to improve our offensive threat. Can see us looking something like this:

-----------------Cooper-----------------
Clarke------Anel------JLT------Burrows
--------Choudhury-------Souza--------
Brooks---------O'Hare-------------BBD
----------------Campbell---------------

Clarke being a more offensive full back than Gilchrist suggests to me that he'll get the starting place. Playing with "inverted" wide men means that you lose some threat in advanced wide areas, and that typically has to be filled by the full back. We've struggled down the right because we've been playing a lad there who traditionally has played CB in his career thus far. So he's not inclined to get forward like a Seriki would. While I've not seen a lot of Clarke, it appears he's a conventional full back, and is comfortable getting forwards to support, so he would fit in perfectly.

A double DM setup with Hamza and Vini ensures we have a solid base to attack from, without being too concerned about being exposed at the back. I'd assume that if we are countered upon, those two would drop into positions that result in an effective back 4 of Hamza-Anel-Vini-JLT, so as not to leave too much space for teams to exploit while we get back into shape.

With respect to Derby, this game is pretty much the perfect opportunity for us to bounce back from last week. Derby are in horrendous form, so on paper it's one of the best opportunities we could have asked for to get back to winning ways. Hopefully we don't see these produce a performance like Swansea did in the first half of that game, and it instead is a much more comfortable day for us.
 
I see this as one last game to get through before our only creative player is available again.

I don't think it's quite so black and white.

Leeds drew 3-3 with Portsmouth on the opening day. Sunderland were held by Plymouth last week. Hull pegged Leeds to a draw from 2 goals behind recently. Burnley have failed to score in 4 of their last 6 games. Yet all 3 of those sides are certainly contenders for automatic promotion still.

Derby's wins this season have come against the sides who are currently 5th (West Brom), 6th (M'boro), 8th (Bristol C), 12th (Coventry), 13th (QPR), 18th (Cardiff), and 21st (Portsmouth). They held Burnley to a draw not too long ago. Yes they're on a very bad run of form, if they beat us, it doesn't mean we are promotion material.

Don't forget that a major contribution to our last promotion under Wilder, was a win for 10-man, 21st-placed Wigan at Elland Road on Good Friday. These things can happen in football, if you let them.

It's down to Wilder and the players to have the mental strength to get the job done, if they want to finish in that top 2.
 
Need 2 up front and take it to them, no defensive set up Mr Wilder
Cooper
Gilchrist, Anel, Robbo, Burrows
Ohare, Souza, Choudhury, Diaz
Campbell Cannon

Good shout

Rak S instead of Brooks and Cannon instead of Campbell
 
This should be easy as I assume Cashin won't play as they're spending big on that Norway lad.

I'd assume:

-------------------Cooper
Gilchrist-----Anel-------JLT------- Burrows
---------------Souza--Choudhury
-------------------O'Hare----------------
---JRS-----------Cannon----------BBD

Subs:

Davies
McCallum
Clarke
Baptiste
Peck
Blacker
Brewster
Brooks
Campbell

Oddly, I'm actually in Derby tomorrow but not for the game.

Only change for me would be Clarke for Gilchrist

Souza and Choudhury and JRS wont start, be Souza and Peck, maybe Brooks instead of JRS
 
Peck is knackered and needs a rest, he gives the ball away anyway but has done more so recently, taking nothing away from the lad though, he's done a great job.

Also think JLT will be dropped, we've seen an unwelcome return of bomb scare Robbo recently. Mitchell brothers on the right side of defence with Anel going LCB, where I think he is actually better!

JRS to start for me as well.

Super Cooper

Clarke
Gilchrist
Anel
Burrows

JRS
Choudhury
Vini
BBD

COH

Cannon
 
Still not sure about Cannon.
Hardly moved away from his central position and didn't move across the line.
When Campbell came on he showed more in his little cameo than Cannon did all game.
Not having a pop at him as he may have been told to stay central but he seems far from Wilders usual centre forward, like Billy for instance who was all over the front line.
Let's see eh?
