Derby (H) Pre-Match Thread

[Daggers]

I have a dwindling Xmas stock of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, cheese footballs, anchovy stuffed olives and pâté. I'm still not convinced I want to sour the experience by having this match as an accompaniment.

I think the fat lady must be clearing her throat again. 

 

Surely we have a plan of getting rid of Marti and have someone in the wings? ............ I'm so naïve at times 

[Hales]

I can only watch the 1st half before I start my nightshift....hopefully it will be our good half!!

Russel Martin more than likely

We’re a lot worse normally second half so I think you’re making the right choice.

When was the last good 2nd half performance discuss ......... Birmingham City? 

[JimJams]

Having not read any of the thread, I'm going to assume we're all expecting a resounding win and a comfortable end to the year.

Sheff U?

This game has a feel of inevitability about it. I’d probably say Watford was one of the worst, abject, careless performances for some time, off the back of another careless performance V QPR. This is where it comes to ahead tonight, we never lose to Derby, but they will beat us comfortably this evening. I think the lads have finally stopped playing for Marty.

 

At least I’ll be sat at home in my pants! 

[VLC86]

Does anyone know if we have considered changing the locks?

Fingers crossed we score first and make a complete pigs ear of the second half to secure a much needed point. 
 

COME ON CITEH!! Let’s get that 1-1 draw!!! 
 

Fired up for this one 🤮🙄

I think you're spot on with your assessment my friend, and can only see a defeat.  

 

It wouldn't surprise me if it was a 4-0 or 4-1 if JJ continues his scoring form

 

So I too will be sitting at home, in my pants.... but I'll be adding one or two other items of clothing, as I have nosey neighbours.

0-15 to derby 

[Mickyblueeyes]

I’ve stopped going. For months now. Even today. Nothing to do and can’t convince myself to go. Fly out in a week so last chance of a game for a few months. But no motivation to sit in the cold and watch this rubbish. 
 

If you’re going, can completely understand you’re not where I am. And if you’re. **** all the other chants, please, non-stop, sack the board, top out, KP out - any one of the 3 - non stop. We need it now. They’ve destroyed all that is good about this club

[Muzzy_no7]

Absolutely no chance we win this, will do well to draw 

[Vaz]

So glad this is an evening game. Can't ruin the whole day that way...

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

Probably what Derby are saying about us mate!!😁

He's going nowhere... until PSR is resolved and the transfer window has closed when we only have outgoings and no spends ... 

[CWC1983]

My 1st visit to KP tonight since 2013.....

 

An easy 2 0 win v Wigan, Liam Moore and David Nugent. 

 

I was also at the game at Pride Park a few weeks ago. 

 

I'm a lucky omen, thank me later. 😀
