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

[Sussex Nomad]

[MENTION=15297]Dick Head[/MENTION], have you ever lost an official match thread?

If Im not mistaken Lee Mason was the ref in the 2014 playoff final between Derby and QPR when Zamooooooooora scored the winner? Is this an omen?

I predict we're going to do something we've not done so far this season. 1. Lose or 2. Win by more than 1 goal.

 

[Sussex Nomad]

The onus is on them, they have to be massive favourites to win today. We'll carry on under the radar and nick a 1-1.

and...?

I subscribe to Seagulls World and never usually miss a Saturday game, so I am there in spirit.
What with the gigs coming up, I'm going to miss this and next Saturday.
Shame, as I was looking forward to the Derby game.

Think we are all a bit wary of Derby,they are without doubt a very good team...Shackle Butterfield (Who has already scored against us this season ),Bradley Johnson...cut off supply to Martin (Who nearly always manages to hit our net )...job done...er...I hope...at this stage very happy with draw.

I'm a Brighton fan and therefore never known a properly successful side. Yes OK we have won promotion to the top flight once back in the 70's but 1910 was the last time we had a side that Sussex could properly be proud of. I'm therefore wary of every team. Lets hope the players have a more of a winning mentality and they are more looking forward to winning. Without wishing to be optimistic, last week indicated to me that we might have some winners in the side and if so then they wont be wary of anyone. We shall see.

0-0 would suit me right now

Not this season, touch wood. I lost a few when Sami Hyypiä was in charge.

Anyone on the TRAIN drinking BEER?

While our defensive concerns are well documented, I feel the game will hinge on the success of our attackers. Based on their personnel and our makeshift back four, I have no doubts Derby will score, probably more than once. This a wonderful opportunity for Hemed, Wilson, Zamora, Murphy, VLP and March to step up and match them. There's hero status awaiting.....

nailed on 0-0 then.

That I very much doubt, however I would take it.

 

[Box of Frogs]

VLP and Wilson destined to be heroes today.

Yep, without hindsight (which is normal I guess?) - I would settle for a thoroughly convincing point right now.

But, this bloody lovely season - Aaarhhhh! We seem to be getting better and better in team spirit and I'm sure that's the main ingredient for an improbable goalpie?

Ipswich 1-0 up

 

[Triggaaar]

this is where we find out if the team has kahunas....and if they do ....exactly how big are they...

So you don't think coming back from 2 down against Charlton showed evidence of kahunas then?

 

[Sussex Nomad]

Ipswich 1-0 up

Tratter boys hit the heady heights of sixth (only 10 points off of us)

Would take this any day. But I just can't see Derby failing to score. In fact, I'd be flabbergasted if they didn't.

Prepared to be flabbergasted
