Derby......what are you expecting..??

[Joey Jo Jo Jr. Shabadoo]

I am normally optimistic that we can beat anyone we play, but Derby seem to be our bogey team at the moment. I am expecting a twating but will be there to support the boys no matter, i'd be very very happy with a point.

 

[Razzoo]

I honestly can't remember ever beating Derby. I can see a loss by 2 or 3.

What about the game famous for the majestic weaving run of Sir Vicente through at least 8 Derby players.

Derby is our bogey team so wheel loose.

In 2014/15 but at H in Mar 2012 (vicente !) we won 2-0 and in Jan 2013 at Amex we won 2-1 but yep 5 defeats in a row since then.

[Behind Enemy Lines]

i'm expecting us to lose and those around us to win thus keeping us very much in the relegation mix.

 

[Vegas Seagull]

Backed Derby to win division, would love a home win = draw
nb tell Chrissy Kaz tears Derby apart at home (watch the tape) 2-1

Have you forgotten early 2013 and the last minute 10 man offside trap, where we won 2-1? A game also notable for Bridcutt's spin away from 4 players, as well as (I believe) being the day that Ulloa put pen to paper and was watching from the stands.

Unfortunately we've lost the last 5 games in a row, so it does seem like a lifetime ago.

 

[El Turi]

I think they've also beaten our under 21's and under 18's this season so surely we are due a win against them at some point.

 

[Norman Baker suck my lozenge]

Derby and other teams in the top 4 very rarely lose 2 on the spin,could we break them down?think we may lose,we've got a very difficult last dozen games.

 

[clippedgull]

If Derby turn up then it won't be pretty, a defeat is inevitable.

But if they have another off day (ala Fulham at the weekend) and we put the same sort of performance together as we did against Leeds then we can snatch a win.

 

[TonyW]

If we turn up, Derby won't live with us.

 

[Mellotron]

One of those Championship games that is absolutely wide open, as shown by the poll it could easily go any of 3 ways.

 

[mikeyjh]

From our perspective, I've gone from very confident to much less so! Our approach depends so heavily on 2 positions, the lone striker and the defensive midfielder. Bent and Martin are out up front so I have no idea who will play there. Thorne and Eustace are out so it will be Omar Mascarell in midfield - If Brighton let him play, he'll go well, if you get amongst us, so to speak, not so sure.....

 

[Meade's Ball]

I have the fairly modest belief that we might sneak a win. Tough to be tight at the back with a backline slightly addicted to blunders, but it will be a case of being strong in front of them with Ince and Kayal knowing when to pounce and when to dazzle. Steady thinking and positioning, whilst Teixeira does his now developed fancydannnery to open them up at the back. We have a chance, and I voted for it.

 

[The Oldman]

My head tells me that Derby managed by the brolly man are too good for us, plus they have become one of our bogey teams that seem to have the evil eye on us. So, cannot see other than them winning. However, my heart reminds me that I forecast we would gain null points against Birmingham and Leeds and look what happened. "It's a funny old game."

 

[Uh_huh_him]

This will be my 8th game of the season.

I've been pretty lucky so far:

DLDWWWW
Goals for 12
Goals against 7

Hoping (expecting) for a fifth win in a row.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

The Albion are consistently inconsistent. Impossible to predict. From a betting point of view, don't go anywhere near it.

 

[GT49er]

Not very optimistic about this - but, as always, I live in hope!
