To me we have not made the use of these we should, injuries aside .IMO at least Ben and Louis should be starters at moment ,Burns needs a rest or should be playing at CB not midfield.Seems strange to me we are playing defenders there Inc TVC when we have good Midfielders bench warming .

NT is only recently back from a four match suspension, and is less mobile than the other CBs, so with us now favouring a back four rather than five, he is unlikely to start many (and I certainly wouldn't want a CB pairing of Pidge and NT). No issues with him not starting for me.

Louis, however, I really like, and would prefer to be starting ahead of Burns in front of the back four.

Ben is unlucky as he was the only player to do well at Maidstone and totally changed our performance second half, yet has still hardly played since.

With what we have at present I'd certainly think there's a strong case for Nathan and Louis to be starting.

I'm still not sold on Ben... bit of a headless chicken.

My team for Derby would be:

Taye

LJW TVC N.Thompson Pidge Butler (don't rate him, but from what I've seen, he's better than Nesta there)

Freeman, L Thompson, H White

Robbo

Reid Hemmings

Burns isn£t good enough to play CB. He is terrible at defending set pieces.

I think it£s Ben Thompson who we need to see more of. He is class.

He's like a trampoline, the ball just bounces off him. Awful first touch, never looks in control.

That said, out of possession, his press and work rate is top notch

Ben has looked better in recent appearances. I like him as a no 10 but not playing deeper. To me all three Thompsons have shown more than others who have been starting ahead of them, but I don't see them in training or know their injury status.
