Shrewsbury – Derby preview: latest form, news, and potential lineups
Read all of the latest injury updates and team news for this duel, including our predicted Shrewsbury vs Derby lineups.
Shrewsbury
Shrewsbury were fortunate to save a 1-1 draw on their visit to Cambridge last weekend. Perry was the hero with his stoppage-time goal. The character shown was good but the general display was not that impressive yet again.
Shrewsbury scored late goals in two consecutive rounds now and they earned 4 points from those matches thanks to those goals.
The Shrews scored only 2 goals in the last 7 rounds and it is not surprising that they won only one of those games – D2 L4.
Influential playmaker Kenneh was missing last weekend as he was on international duty. He’s back now and ready to start again.
Continue to be without 5 injured players. Among them regular starters in defence Nurse and Feeney.
Predicted Lineup:
Marosi (GK), Feeney, Flanagan, Dunkley, Winchester, Perry, Bayliss, Kenneh, Bennett, Udoh& Bowman
Derby
Derby have won just 5 of their last 11 league games but 4 of those wins were achieved on the road. The Rams are currently on a 5-game unbeaten run to W2 D3. However, in their last outing, they only drew 1-1 on their visit to bottom-dwellers Cheltenham.
Derby have been hit by many injury problems in the first few months of the season but most of the important players seem ready to return now.
Striker Waghorn is expected to overcome a minor knock on time. Hourihane and Bird are over their injury problems and both can start again in midfield. Another key player is right-winger Ward. He’s been out since early August but has resumed training recently and he too could be an option soon.
Predicted Lineup:
Wildsmith (GK), Cashin, Nelson, Forsyth, Mendez-Laing, Smith, Bird, Hourihane, Barkuizen, Waghorn & Collins
Starting Lineups
The teams usually announce their starting lineups one hour before the start of the game.
Player to Watch: Connor Hourihane
Derby's star playmaker Connor Hourihane missed a few games injured but he is ready to return now. Hourihane already accumulated 2 goals and 4 assists in the league, this in just 9 appearances.
His return should bring an extra edge to the Rams and Hourihane is a player who always looks to impact the game with his passing abilities and excellent shooting skills from a distance.
