    I reckon Mayenda on wing.

    wildcard guess is it’s 4-4-2 but the midfield 4 is a diamond

    Whats good about that lineup is that it could be absolutely anything on the field. 442 with ELF and Rigg wide? 433 with Mayenda and ELF wide? 433 with Mayenda and Rigg wide?Midfield diamond? Who knows.

    No Cashin for Derby. They don't have a CB playing.

    It’ll be 442 with Rigg and le fee wide, both can drift inside to make it a 433 at any point. The shape could be SO fluid tonight I’m excited

    The quote tweets on the derby team announcement make some reading.

    let’s just say they’re not happy

    If we're 3-0 up at 85mins I'd love to see Aouchiche come on for a farewell to the travelling support ...

    ... he has what it takes imo.

    Totally agree. I would keep him. Bit of a maverick but has done the business recently when RLB needed it.

    Surely it will be the same 4 3 3 as against Burnley, with Mayenda replacing Paddy on the wing? Gotta say I'm not a fan of shoe horning Le Fee out of position on the wing... He's arguably our best player, play him in his natural position imo. Especially as the reason we're doing it is so that we can keep flogging a 17-year-old to death lol. I really though Le Fee would be great to give Rigg some rest, let him impact games from the bench. Apparently RLB really hates substitutions, ha

    I'm going for a diamond formation with Le Fée as the 10 and Mayenda/Isidor up front.

    Cirkin and Hume need to have the confidence to push on and keep Derby penned in.

    If we get this right it could be a very good night ...

    ... if we don't there's plenty on the bench to rescue us <laugh>
