Derby County 1 - 0 Cardiff City

................. so not before Millwall away on 19th October.

I like Ozoh and was nearly the first to say this, Scouse reckons he beat me. But we must learn to manage without these transient players. We got into a right old pickle when Mason Mount got injured and missed promotion. Surely someone can replace Ozoh?

Nyambe...?

More than likely we'll be switching to a back three so Nat Phillips would replace Ozoh. Then it's a question of midfield balance. Thompson is apparently injured, we can't push Kenzo back as a DM so do we go with a central three of Osborn, Adams and Kenzo?

Get this chant started on Saturday:

Oz no!

He'll be sorely missed:

Sheffield United
Norwich
Sunderland
QPR
Hull
Stoke

With a solid double defensive screen of Adams/Ozoh you'd be confident we could steal some draws and wins from the coming games. Without we look a little weak in midfield.

Daj extends contract to 2027

We've done really well so far with a back four and are 8th. So let's go to a back 5 which I hate and reckon that the 3 centre halves leave it to each other, as in "After You Claude"

Not a favourite of mine either VC10 but:

* PW seems to love this formation.
* When you have an option of Nelson, Phillips and Cashin for centre back, whoever you leave out is bound to feel unhappy.

For away matches against the tougher sides (Sheff Utd, Leeds, Burnely etc...) I do expect a tactical switch to 3 at the back by Warne and we hit them on the counter with the pacey wingers if we play 5-4-1 /3-4-3.
