please log in to view this image Derby County v Leeds Utd Wednesday 21st February [email protected] Streaming links to follow Good Morning Everyone Leeds travel down to Derby tomorrow evening hoping to build upon their impressive second half display they showed against Bristol City on Sunday. Saiz, Berardi and Cooper are all available for selection following their respective bans. You'd expect Berardi to replace Anita and Hernandez to be rested in favour of Saiz but who here thinks that Pennington should be benched in favour of Cooper? O'Kane is out of sorts at the moment, so would not be surprised if Phillips starts. Ekuban did not do much on Sunday, and as Roofe scored, I would not be surprised if the ex Oxford Utd lad starts. Derby have not had it their own way. In the last three weeks they thrashed Brentford, drew against Millwall and Norwich and were beaten by the Wendies.
According to the CIES Football Observatory, Ronaldo Vieira is one of the top 20 teenage prospects in Europe and 3rd best teenage prospect in England behind Tom Davies of Everton and Ryan Sessegnon of Fulham. please log in to view this image
With Saiz, Berardi and Cooper back we'll have a stronger team. I think Jansson is more comfortable with Cooper than Pennington, Jansson played very complacent against BC, maybe he's saving himself for World Cup. Against Derby we need Pablo, Saiz and Alioski together, and Vieira partnering Forshaw, or we're going to struggle.
Morning Lover. Pablo will be rested. He has been playing hard for the last few games and at 31 or 32 I doubt he will even be on the bench. He only played on Sunday
I'd like to see Saiz up front with Lasogga, I think Vieira will improve alongside Forshaw and Alioski plays better with Saiz. Felix Berardi, Jansson, Cooper, De Bock Alioski, Vieira, Forshaw, Dallas Saiz, Lasogga
Bless him Morison is 96 but knocks on his managers door every match day and demands to play even when he was sick loyalty thing I suppose
Morning GP, I would definitely agree with you but if Saiz is too far forward it may be difficult for him to be the link between midfield and Lasogga
Morning all. Pablo rested after playing hard for the last few games at the age of 32?. I've known lads well turned 60 playing dominoes for weeks on end without a break. they don't know their born these days.
Sorry, how rude of me morning everyone. I'd like to see Saiz have a free role. I think the key link is with Alioski
Morning all. Cooper back in for me. Pennington not done much wrong but Cooper and Jannson seem a better pairing. I would be looking at a 4411 formation. Drop Ekuban and put Saiz in the hole to be the link. I would rest Pablo. Play Dallas one side and, tin hat time, start Sacko the other. Phillips or Viera in centre mid alongside Forshaw to toughen it up.
Morning pal. I like the idea or either Alioski or Dallas playing on the right side of the wing. They were both trackback to help Berardi and they both can deliver a good cross into the box
Morning I think Cooper should be on the bench and I too would play Saiz in the hole and Viera has got to be better than O'Kane right now
