Forest Green vs Derby: Team News, Line-Ups, & Form Preview
Forest Green:
After the surprise win over Sheffield Wednesday, it was back to normal schedule for Forest Green who suffered a loss against Portsmouth in the recent match. The performance against Portsmouth, though, would be sufficiently delightful for manager Duncan Ferguson. Matt Stevens is the only player who is rated as a doubt for the game because of injuries.
Predicted Line-Up:
Doohan, Robson, Cooper, Godwin-Malife, Bernard, Garrick, Bunker, McGeouch, McAllister, Savage, Peart-Harris
Derby:
The Forest Green vs Derby lineups may not feature too many changes from the recent match due to injuries. However, manager Paul Warne may decide to act on the poor performances of the team over the last few weeks which have put them in danger of missing out on the play-offs. There is a clear lack of momentum within the Rams, who will be counting heavily on the upcoming game against Forest Green to pick up pieces.
Predicted Line-Up:
Wildsmith, Forsyth, Cashin, Davies, Smith, Hourihane, Bird, Barkhuizen, Sibley, Mendez-Laing, McGoldrick
Player to Watch: David McGoldrick
David McGoldrick has been unable to score in his last four matches for the Rams. Yet, he remains a major threat for Derby with 16 goals and five assists so far in the campaign. The experience provided by the 35-year-old is also invaluable. The Republic of Ireland forward will be able to excel against a poor defence like Forest Green, who are at the bottom of the table.
Starting Line-Ups:
Starting lineups are usually released 60 minutes before kick-off.
