I think tonight is Big Dave’s biggest test yet with regards to personnel and formation. Derby play 4231 so I’ll be worried if Darren sticks to 3412. I think tonight calls for our own 4231 with Barnes and Edwards outwide and Hoolahan behind Gayle. Field replacing Livermore in midfield. If that wouldn’t work then Hoolahan could drop deeper alongside Field with Brunt/Barry (whoever starts) as the holding player in a 4141.
What I expect is the usual 3412, Barry replacing Livermore (leading to us being overrun by Mount and Bryson) and Tosin replacing Dawson (if he can’t play).
