Matchday thread v Stoke (A)

[MadAmster]

1-2 win to start the season.

5 definitely out, Wilson, Langas, Nelson, Salvesen and Agyemang

3 doubtful Beck, Elder and Clarke. Going on the premise that none of them make it, I think we'll see pretty much the starting XI from pre season with newbies only getting a start if players are out.

JWZ

Nyambe Batth Sanderson Fozzy

Kenzo Tommo

Jackson Adams CBT

Morris

Ozoh, Clark and the rest will be on the bench and 5 of them will get minutes in the 2nd half to build up fitness and put them in the frame for a start in a couple of weeks.

That's my thoughts, what are your opinions on the starting XI

[SithHappens]

I've lost track of who's fit. Opening game will throw up surprises selection wise. But going for a 3 nil victory for the rams. Will be watching from my hospital bed.

Hope you are progressing well Sith.
Despite your health glitch I see your positivity remains undimmed! I don't recall ever seeing the Rams win at their muck heap but as I'm not going I can't blight our chances.
Will be happy with a 1-1.

Back in the UK then, Sith. Good to hear, but I have to agree with mac…1-1 seems more likely than 0-3 and I’ll settle for that.
Hope the recovery continues and you’re back watching the football in the flesh - so to speak - asap.

[Andy_Faber]

Never especially confident about Stoke away, never especially confident about opening days. Balancing that against my lifelong blind optimism I'll go 1-1

[Ramshank72]

We're back, baby!
Will see a period of unrest as the squad comes together, injuries heal, players gel and Eustace finds his best 11, so only hoping for an average start to proceedings.
Going to say 0-1 to the Rams, late goal.
Hopefully Sith not connected to any heart monitoring, they'll think he's having multiple seizures.

[swaledale]

This has draw written all over it so 1-1 for me.

[macstheman]

Derby offer nothing in an attacking sense in the first half.

Ain’t that the truth.
Harsh final score but ce la vie.
Thought Batth and Morris looked promising, but unfortunately Stoke could cross and we managed about one all match, still it’s single figures in August. We’ll be okay.
