Sky has it as the same.

Jackson reckons Hedges might be playing LCB 🤨 "Fortunately, Hayden Carter has returned from injury ahead of schedule and is on the bench against the Rams. Harry Pickering and Yuri Ribeiro could also fill in at left-sided centre-back, though Ismael has opted to either change formation or play Ryan Hedges in that role against Derby"

x4 Defenders x3 Central Midfielders x1 Striker Not a single attacking, game changing option.

It wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if Wharton missed most the season. We've recalled Pratt from his loan and he's straight into the squad. Penny's finally dropped that we can't rely on Wharton and Carter.

I'm assuming it's 4-4-2 ----------------Pears Alebiosu---Miller---McLoughlin--De Neve Mori------Henriksson---TGH---Hedges -----------Yuki---Gudjohnsen

Only BBD and Sanderson line up against us. Batth and Weimann on the bench.

Assume we've dropped the back 3 but fuck knows how we're lining up

Who do you give the armband to without Cantwell, Tronstad, Wharton or even Toth?

Apparently Boro have now cancelled his press conference for today.

Pretty much how it worked here for Eustace "He won't leave Rovers for Derby" and yet, he went for what was widely considered as a downgrade at the time as were in and around the playoff places with Derby fighting relegation. Derby probably did their homework too and wouldn't have made an official approach without encouragement. Payrise, promise of investment and an affinity with the club has been enough in the past to make managers jump ship. Didn't realise Wolves only had 2 points though, that's a hell of a lot of ground to make up even after just 10 games.

Seems like we've rushed Carter back. Wouldn't be surprised if he started and broke down after 20mins

I'm not sure we are set up to protect the keeper much with our current system. Toth made match winning saves against both Southampton & Leicester, not saves I'd be expecting Pears to make. No one would be blaming Pears if either of those chances went in but that's the difference between the 2 keepers. Toth makes those , Pears doesn't.

Bloody hell, it gets worse

Which is this season

Bad times. I wonder if Pears will get the nod every game or if Ismael will put Michalski in every now and again (assuming he's recovered from his Bradford City horror show)

Thanks! 15 years of ownership and the only highlights they can come up with is signing Jordan Rhodes and Her Majesty turning up which was completely unrelated to the owners.

I second this

If it was an honest account of their 15 year disastrous reign of terror, then fair enough. but yeah, anything else and it should be on the bonfires tonight.

This is what I've been waiting for, how bad is it with regards to the Roa's? It's the one thing that's stopped me buying the book. If it's full of praise for them, it was a pass from me. 2 pages, could possibly handle but it depends.

Not going mad, Picks is the smaller of the 2.

Someone created a fake "South Stand Pies" account and Nixon thought it was the real one, so he'd been sending the fake account private messages. The internet is a crazy place!

Probably would be, I was just going off last night. Picks didn't even make the squad.

He had a good first half. The whole team came out and played badly in the second half but Mori was (probably) rightly hooked. I agree though, feels like there is a player there and he's shown flashes of it when he's been on the pitch. Might take a bit longer for him to get to grips with the league etc. but i'm quietly confident he'll do well once he's up to speed (you could argue he should already be up to speed by now but some players do take longer to adapt.) I think the change of position has helped him no end though, he was poor out wide.

Not having Toth, Cantwell, Wharton or Tronstad will make this game significantly harder. We have no other first team centre backs available, so should Wharton not make it, you're either reverting to a back 4, or dropping someone like Ribeiro into the back 3. Either way, it's risky. Centre mid also presents a problem, as we either have to start with TGH and Forshaw (seems the most likely), or risk starting Montgomery or Taveres (who's been poor) Pears is a huge problem regardless and Eustace will know how to unsettle him.

Once we discover the extent of the injuries, I hope you go back on there and tell them to stop moaning (although I hope neither are injured but we just ain't that lucky)
