Don't agree Lee. Amond showed he could score goals out of nothing, and got all manner of goals: tap-ins, goalmouth scrambles, lucky rebounds, headers, penalties, long-range shots. Admittedly against lower opposition, but if you've got that in your armoury and can score (what 15?) goals for a relegated team, you have the wherewithal to prosper in League 2.

Slade may be setting up in a 4-4-1-1 (or 4,3,2,1) because he thinks he doesn't have the right personnel for other formations.

I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

Having not seen JJ play I have no idea really but from what I've read so far he doesn't sound like a hold up back to goal type forward. If we sign him I'd probably expect him to play off Vernon/another if we are in for two.

Yep. Agree on that mate.

That's what I was getting at Kingston.

You'd have thought that a 4-3-3 (or some variation thereof) ought to be possible with a more athletic and mobile front man available. I think we have the basis for a capable enough midfield 3 for the first time in a while which does give options elsewhere.

That said, Slade seems to be setting up to play a more defensive style allied to fast breaks, so perhaps we'll continue to mostly see a packed midfield? Regardless, I'd expect us to continue with the same slightly defensive formation tonight that we've seen in pre-season. Question is, what sort of a team will Derby put out?
