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

[Codner's Wallop]

Prepared to be flabbergasted

With a Keegan-esque delivery:

Mate, I WOULD LOVE IT, LOVE IT if we got a result up there....

 

[TWOCHOICEStom]

I still struggle to accept that we're top of the league and unbeaten. Every week I'm sure the bubble will burst and every week it doesn't.

But were definitely loose.

Yep I'm in the doom and gloom camp. Be nice to see the detractors back on NSC anyway.

Prior to todays early kick-off, we were 12 points clear of Cardiff in 6th.

Cardiff were 13 points clear of Charlton in 22nd.

I think we can sometime forget that we are doing so well. We should not fear anyone in this league. We could lose, but we could just as easily get a result. The impact of a defeat on either team is different. To us, we'd still be top 2 and the unbeaten run over. OK, bit of a bummer. To Derby, they'd be 7 points behind and realising that it would be a big job to catch us.

And from the same article at: http://www.seagulls.co.uk/news/article/past-encounter-brighton-hove-albion-derby-county-2847740.aspx
A bit of a pigs bollock dropped...

Brighton

1.Perry Digweed- A rare outing for Pigweed and he showed he was in fine form, making a catalogue of saves, including diving at Davison’s feet on 26 minutes.

I think the Doom mongers will be pleasantly surprised

I was there that day, Peter Taylor managing Derby

I can't remember being this nervous about a game for a long time.

I don't want us to get hammered and the bubble burst.

But also I feel we could win handsomely and then we would know for sure we are serious title contenders, let alone promotion!

Hemed in for BZ

 

[Marty McFly]

Nervous and hungover. Eugh.

Come on the Albion!

 

[glasfryn]

Tomor to run them ragged and bobby to come on and score ?

 

[Berty23]

Sensible to give last week's match winner a start. As others have said he can run them ragged and then Zamora can come on and set up two late goals. Simple.

 

[Mackenzie]

Stockdale

Bruno-Dunk-Greer-Calderon

Murphy-Stephens-Kayal-March

Hemed-Wilson

[crookie]

Happy with that

 

[Working class pride]

Hemed has just scored so give him a chance to start a goal scoring run. He also will work hard away from home and be interesting to see how he and Wilson start as a pair. As we dont know how they will play together then Derby wont either! Zamora there to come on if needed.

 

[TottonSeagull]

Would have dropped Dunk personally for Uwe but otherwise looks good!

 

[5ways]

I guess we'll have to lose before Uwe gets back in the starting 11.

 

[TSB]

Surprised to see 4-4-2 today.
