[Archived] Derby County vs Blackburn Rovers Sunday 04/08 4pm kick off (Live on Sky)

[Blue Cabbage]

Id take Marlowe in the midfield to allow Ruben to play, 2-1 Rovers.

Nunes, Pedersen and Morris travelled but didn't make squad meaning like of formica and Orr didnt so hopfully on way out....I cant believe Olsson gets on bench before Nunes...i think Olson is worse than Lowe

Yeah agree in regards to Olsson esp as we have Givet on the bench to cover LB. Still I suppose if we are looking at McClean then maybe GB does not rate Nunes at all, might be another one being shipped out.

[Tom]

Whilst I'm not lowes biggest fan today's line up could be perfect for away games, its defensive enough to allow Rochina to not have to defend leaving him and Rhodes to counter

[davulsukur]

I agree Tom. No point in sticking Rochina out wide or somewhere where he has defensive responsibilities. If its 4-2-3-1 it could suit Rochina well.

[Pugg]

Well my gob is well and truly smacked. Can't believe he has actually started with Rochina. Hope he provides something special.

[davulsukur]

Also, king needs to have a good game. With his pace, he should be a real threat at this level.

He has Taylor,Peds, mines etc pushing for his place. Time to stake a claim.

[Tom]

Anyone else think Best could end up having a hissy fit and wanting to leave if he doesn't start?

With any luck. It would shift another high earner. No need to be paying him the big bucks. We could get better for much less.

Good. He's another very overrated, overpaid prima donna, who thinks he is far better than the stats would suggest.

[Ricky]

A bit worried that will Hughes will have a field day against Lowe and Marrow

[Tom]

Interesting to see Spurr has a long throw

Always useful to have an option to launch one in

[Veevs]

For those who had not noticed the game is also live on BBC Radio5Live.. legit links I presume are ok?

[Ricky]

Ruben should have hit the target there.

[DE.]

Ruben should have done better there.

[The Rover of Finland]

Should have done better Ruben!

[Lathund]

Decent long throw on Spurr. Useful to have that ability in the team.

EDIT: Get out of my head Tom!

[Pugg]

Nice cross by Spurr for Rochina's chance.

[AdamRochina]

rochina is proper greedy

[Tom]

Rochina getting his usual wastefulness out of the way early at least and leaving the magic to come

Love your optimism Tom, let's hope it's warranted

[DE.]

We've started off pretty brightly. You can see a big difference in comparison to last year, just in terms of alertness and desire.

[Proudtobeblue&white]

Bright start, Spurr has a decent left peg, good to see Robbo in the Sky studio praising GB!

[Tyke87]

We actually look like we want to play which is a nice change. Impressed with Spurrs start seems like a committed defender and decent going forward.

[niggit]

Good to see we have players with pace, not afraid to run at opposition. Just Rochina does it too much.

[SoldierMo]

Really impressed with Spurr looks solide!!! The whole team looks more energetic compared to last season
