Derby then Huddersfield

Sun Feb 28, 2021 8:37 am

After these two games there’s a gap of over a week without a game. If we can somehow get the team to push through the fatigue barrier for these two games, changing key players in 60 mins, they can have a well deserved break. My worry is Moore though as there’s no real replacement for him unless we’re a few goals up and can put Watters / Harris on. That’s no dig at them btw, more that they are completely different players to KM.

I feel all of us are concern on this, fatigue and losing KM.

No one is easy in this league but some games are less hard than others. Fortunately we are about to play 2 less hard teams, the table does not lie. I follow Derby quite a lot as they are one of my local teams up here. For me this should be the easiest of these 2 games. My analysis is take out Kazim Richards and we will be ok. With 3 centre halfs playing we should be able to do this.

As for Huddersfield they are on a terrible run of form with an aging squad. It looks to me they threw everything into getting promoted to the premier but failed to build on it. They are now paying for that neglect and could quite easily drop further down. Mind you I did welcome their 4-1 victory over the Jacks. Hopefully that's a sign the Jacks bubble has burst.

Fatigue could be our enemy in these next 2 games. That, however, must apply to all other teams as well.

We will have played 4 games in 10 days , with 3 games being away . With quite a bit of travelling involved .
So if we can get 8 points from them I'll be happy . We are half way there .
Then its 7 days off !

I think Mark Harris will start either on Tuesday or Friday.

Yes I think so too with Moore on the bench and I think it’ll be the right decision too.
