How important is Joel Ward for them? Sent off the other day. 

Always plays for them, versatile too as he's either a RWB in a 3-4-3 or a right sided midfielder in a 4-4-2.

 

They've also used 4-3-2-1 recently and may well do that tonight so that they can match us up, and negate his loss.

[Blue ROI]

It's sad that I'm more intrigued about what goes on around the stadium than I am about the game.

 

Look at what Rudkin and Top have reduced us to.

Quite. Commentators were raving about him at the weekend - offers them great Albrighton style delivery off the right that Thomas no doubt would have offered him the chance to do on a platter.

I think we'll win

I prefer a flan

[Stuntman_Mike]

Whilst I never want us to lose, a defeat to this lot 'should' have people realising just how useless we are.

 

I think they'll out work us tonight and nick it with a set piece goal of some sort. 

[Raj]

Considering  how utter sh1t they were at Pride Park if we do manage to feck up today then Marti can go do one.

[Paninistickers]

Four hours or so until we see Luke Thomas in the team and the mind numbing 4231, meaning any remaining interest that was in me evaporates at a speed roughly equivalent to twice the speed of light. 

[Legend_in_blue]

If he loses this, he can't be more than one further loss away from going surely?

[Leicesterpool]

1-1 draw I think, I can see Derby have more of the ball today with Leicester just about seeing out a draw. 

[Pita]

With our players walking around like headless chickens we don’t have a chance

Nope

As miserable as this club is right now, i just can't not get up for a local derby.

 

Just do what you did at the sheep pen, lads, you've clearly got it in you.

Derby will win this. Start the game like they did their second half and they ease it. 

If we start like we did in the first half we should ease it.

[Fox92]

We have a great recent record against these lot. We’ll do them. Into them!

[AjcW]

Not got the train in a while, nearly shit out a lung when I was charged £13 for a return from Loughborough  

[bovril]

Real dilemma, I have a couple of very nice beers in the fridge and Roma vs Genoa is on tele and I'm at my girlfriend's place with a very large TV and comfy sofa. At the same time it's Derby and I'm not sure I can resist watching on my laptop and ruining my evening. 

[FrankieADZ]

We'll leave it up to his replacement to have the game of his life then

I think it speaks volumes with regards to Marti, when a lad who I never saw have an average game at academy level, he rates…….

Guessing you didnt watch a lot of the U21 games then. He was academy player of the year two years ago

....They aren't that bad every week Raj 

 

Expecting a tougher game tonight. Especially as we have a habit of being dreadful ourselves at times.

[Leicesterpool]

Weirdly im setting off from Coventry arena train station as had work today in cov. Annoying listening to their fans gloat, praying somehow they bottle it.

[MC Prussian]

2-1 win tonight, then lose 4-0 at the Blades, followed by a dull 0-0 against West Brom.

 

It's the Cifuentes way.

[HybridFox]

This is a big game today. Have to keep up

[Chelmofox]

Going with the boy. Really want a good game. Something to cheer about - some good goals.

 

Fear im just gonna watch Vestergaard passing it a lot.

You should have spent a few hours six weeks ago looking up the super-flexi-groupy-economy-mega advance-Monday buster-day return travel card with free bus travel…….just £12.70
