Guest Sniffer Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 No doubt allardyce's gameplan will be aimed, first and foremost, at preventing Derby scoring. We'll score early on and sit back defending a 1 goal lead as the ends justifies the means. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 I saw a few signs in the Fulham game that we can threaten teams again, some great touches by Smith etc, it just isn't quite clicking yet. Not sure why everyone thinks we won't turn Derby over. No reason to think we won't get a win here, looking forward to the match... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElDiablo Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 Emre must play, can't go on with this Butt Barton Geremi combo. Neither of them get into the box (well Barton does the odd time) unless it's a set piece. Also one of the 3 upfront in Milner plays more like a midfielder and rarely threatens the goal or gets into the box enough. Not saying Emre will arrive late banging in goals but at least he can travel with the ball and attract some of their players and also has the ability to punish them with a killer ball (has the ability but whether he produces it is another story. Playing Butt Geremi and Barton against Derby would be ridiculous. My Team would go like: ------------Given Beye---Taylor---cacapa---Zog -----Barton----Butt---Emre ---Smith----Viduka------Martins Leave Milner out for a rest, play 3 strikers and really go at them. Also bring Enrique on at some point for Emre and swap him with Zog. 2-0 win. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 I'd be tempted to have Emre in the team for Geremi, then drop him afterwards. He doesn't have two good games on the trot and is more effective from the bench. But he might be up for it for this one so he could well be an asset.

James Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 Emre will never be fit enough to start. He's bound to disappoint. Last 30 minutes off the bench is how he is most effective, and therefore how he should be used. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toptoon Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 Real shame Faye isn't expected to be fit for this one as Howard totally dominated Roze and to a lesser degree Cacapa at their place. Think we should have a real go at them: V Derby at the moment: Given Beye Taylor Cacapa Enrique Milner Barton Emre Zoggy Smith Martins Subs; Harper, Edgar/Roze, Duff, Butt/Geremi, Viduka Duff to get a run out in the second half and if we are creating alot bring Viduka on for his finishing.

Guest Sniffer Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 I didn't see any signs whatsoever in the Fulham match that we could trouble any team including Derby.
