Henrik Meister

you know, double pivot that's, you know, they're looking to build things, but they're ready to screen.

The question for me is, where does Bobby Clark play? If he played as an eight in that kind of next to the six in that kind of defensive or central midfield duo, or does he maybe go into that attacking midfield line with Henrik Meister out? Someone needs to play on that left-hand side.

I would think, especially away from home, Derby ideally will want direct runners so they'll want so on Saturday you saw it with Meister and Frisaini looking to get kind of running beyond Smodic's running beyond Morris as well his hold up play his physicality and looking to create chances what Derby tend to do at their best so not this season uh last season on the road generally is to look to be relatively solid and then spring forward quickly wingers in behind attacking wing backs kind of backing them up and really get those overloads in that final third at a pretty good pace um so i i would think they'll go for something along those lines i mean most per se need looks looks rapid as much as we've not seen Seen much from him.

Real Brewster will be fit.

Whoosh.

Um, it was a, an absolutely horrendous miss, and it nearly cost them because even though Birmingham were good value for their win, um, and because there was a, a serious injury in the second half to Henrik Meister, and there was a con- concussion protocol.

I mean, there were 13 minutes added on at the end of the second half, and Derby racked up a few set pieces.

Clara and Neumann both made huge blocks.

Carlos Vicente and then Sung Ho Pak putting them in front decisively midway through the second half.

Derby lost Henrik Meister.

Stretch it off.

He is doing OK.

Thank you.

That's Derby boss John Eustace.

Good news about Henrik Meister there, who did do well first half.

What about Derby then, Barks? They go in front, and I suppose that is going to be the most frustrating thing because we talked about starting well, we talked about the goals they conceded early on and how important it was for them to get the goal, and they did get the goal, but they can't go on and win the game from that point.

It doesn't make sense.

Likewise, two strikers on the bench in Lars Alisson and Henrik Meister.

Didn't start either of them.

Went with a f- a, a front three of Sammy Schmodics, Bobby Clark, and Mohammed Fasina, I think.

Six games into the season, it's a first start for Mo Fossaini, it's a first start for Aaron Cashin, a home debut for David Ozo since he's come back to the club.

Henrik Meister plays at Pride Park for the first time.

All a reminder that this is actually a very new group.

Yeah, and listen, we're probably missing six starters from the team as well.

Starts away at West Ham two years later in the Championship.

Ryan Hedges kept his place and we had a first start as well for Henrik Meister the first time we'd seen him in a Derby shirt too what did you make of the team when you saw it?

I was a little bit surprised definitely by Niambe starting I think what was it Who did we play and we had like all the right backs on the bench? Was it Portsmouth in midweek? We had like three right

backs

But

there are positive signs.

I think when you get David Oso back reintegrated with the team, Mohamed Fuzini in with the squad, obviously Henrik Meister made his debut as well.

We'll talk about him in a minute.

Exactly.

And also Henrik Meister and Mo Fossaini also getting on the pitch.

How are they adapting to your squad and to English football in their early stages?

Well, obviously, their first bit of action was yesterday in training.

Unfortunately, it wasn't given.

A word or two on the debuts.

Henrik Meister starts the game, played about 60 minutes.

Mo Fossaini comes on for the final stages.

Not a huge fee paid for him either at £600.

K which is nice Philip Bilbiat in from Paderborn on a free Blackett Taylor back from Bolton Brian Hedges in from Blackburn on a free Charlie Taylor from Southampton on a free Henrik Meister in from Pisa they have a I think it's a nine million euro option on him and they've paid over a million pounds on the loan so quite a big outlay on Meister they're going to want him to perform Well, we mentioned David Ozzo back.

I think it was about five mil spent on him.

Get four or five mil in from Palace.

Alex Mowat in, really nice partner for someone who's a settled six option like David Ozzo, a bit more creative, a bit more progressive, but not a cost of control.

Does have some qualities without the ball, you know, top player for Derby to have added in.

And then Henrik Meister, an interesting pick up to add.

We mentioned him earlier, a lot of money potentially going to be invested into him.
