Derby vs Fleetwood Town Lineups and Last Match

Derby

Derby suffered their second consecutive 1-2 home defeat since the start of the campaign on Tuesday. They made a slow start to their match vs Oxford and never recovered after that. 

The Rams have been shaken by major financial troubles this summer and this explains why the squad is so small and barely constructed a week before the start of the season. 

Recently signed strikers Washington and Waghorn are yet to start. Both have scored a goal each in the last 2 rounds coming off the bench though. Now they both could be given their first starts. 

There are serious issues on the flanks with the 3 main wide midfielders out injured right now. All of Ward (hurt on Tuesday), Barkhuizen and Sibley are unavailable. 

Predicted Lineup – Wildsmith (GK), Nelson, Bradley, Cashin, Wilson, Bird, Hourihane, Smith, Elder, Washington & Waghorn

Fleetwood

Fleetwood are yet to win this season (D1 L3). On Tuesday they never got going away against Bolton and logically lost 1-3. The Cod Army has been having some serious issues defending so far. Conceded 9 goals in the 4 games played. 

There are some minor injury issues and fatigue due to the congested schedule. However, all important players are fit and available so can’t hide behind excuses. 

Predicted Lineup – Lynch (GK), Sarpong-Wiredu, Nsiala, Earl, Rooney, Vela, Robertson, Broom, Patterson, Omochere & Marriott

​Starting Lineups

*Lineups are usually announced 1hr before kick-off

Player to Watch: Martyn Waghorn

Derby’s latest signing Martyn Waghorn netted his first goal for the club on Tuesday when coming off the bench. The 33-year-old veteran is a proven goalscorer at this level and we back him to score again now. 

Waghorn is likely to make his first start now after gaining some match sharpness with back-to-back appearances off the bench.
