Derby County vs Brighton and Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

[RowleyBirkinQ.C(deceased)]

Obviously not confident but gotta still say Albion win.
2-1 at full time then an injury time winner to make it 3-1.
Come on you super seagulls, keep fighting, j

Derby County vs Brighton & Hove Albion **** Official Match Thread ****

Derby weren't as good as all the hype. I tip Sheffield United to runaway with Division One next season in the same sort of manner that Poyet did for us.

Clough signings of Martin and Russell are the danger men. I'm sure the basic shape of Derby is now 4-4-2 (not at the end when it was 6-4-0) not the 4-3-3 of Clough.

I would be disappointed if we lose and I put it down to injuries. I can see how we can win but the goal deficit does not make it likely. I would be very much encouraged (for this match and next season) if we can retain possession like the home match. I think I would play Ince to try and build on that advantage.

Forsyth (right back) was not quite as slow as it first appeared. The absence of Buckley is a bit of a disaster as he would be the only one to get past him and have enough time to pause and pick a pass/cross.

No.

Unfortunately I think we'll get flogged. Just no confidence in the players ability to win the big games that matter.

I think the key is to frustrate derby for the first half and perhaps grab a goal as that would build nerves in the home stands. Would like to see Ince come in today to help strengthen in the middle and give us a physical presence we missed on Thursday

Which is why this will be one hell of an achievement if we somehow pull it off,it would be up there with any of our greatest days on the field.

Other than the Forest game obviously...

Nope. The pitch is grass now.

Time to leave, may all you dreams come true today

Dale Stephens is in Co-op, Bolnore Village buying groceries. His leg is in a brace so won't be fit for the final should we get through.
Another NSC exclusive!

Just imagine how hard Oscar and co are probably having to work at keeping the players in the right frame of mind ...
