    So after Knudsen decided to get a point and throw it down the toilet, we travel to in more recent years a happy hunting ground. 1-0 last season I recall - infact it's 10 years since Direby ££££ bags have beaten us on their home patch. Lets hope that continues.

    Derby have started poorly. Played 6, scored goals in only 1 game apparently. Shot shy. Please continue! However we often seem to end sides poor runs.... sadly.

    For what it's worth vs Reading once the dust settled - I thought we were quite poor / didn't threaten first half however better second. Tempo still far too pedestrian with the ball, really need to zip it much quicker. Don't like Pitman as the spearhead in this system, don't think it'll work from the start and therefore feel with our current options we need Best from the off - which I don't think will happen tomorrow.

    Will Best / Lawrence make their debuts? Have a feeling Mick may opt for the same 11. I'd rather Bishop over Bru / Lawrence over Sears at present / Best over Pitman however how fit any of these three are is anyone's guess. Could do with something to kick start our season, games coming quick and fast taking us to 11 games before the international break.

    Can't call this - on the one hand Derby struggling encourages me, however at some point they are surely going to click and slap someone.

    Best will start, guaranteed...Lawrence on the other hand won't start as Mick will feel Sears' tracking back will be needed. I think we could get tonked...Vydra and Anya were good buys, and I think those two, with Ince will run our defence ragged...I'll go for a demoralizing 3-0 defeat, all three goals in the first half.

    Chambers and Knudsen also need changing, as does skuse and Douglas!! Sorry but our CM is the most non creative CM I can remember!!!!
    Derby are on a poor run but will be too good for us, 3-1

    Derby are having a worse time of it than us at the minute and are also suffering with a couple of injuries as well. Add in that we don't seem to lose 2 on the bounce under Mick and our recent record there you would have to say we could get something...

    That said, we have a habit of helping teams end their bad spells and I expect we'll huff and puff and look half decent in patches but ultimately concede another late goal having led for the majority of the game.

    Ward with the opener and then that little prat Johnson with a 90th minute equalizer

    Silence on here is deafening. It speaks volumes about 1st half!

    Varney on...oh great!

    Teflon Mick spawns a result to ease the rising unrest for what must be the 25th time since he took charge.

    I dunno how he pulls them out the bag...and with Varney & Pitman up front?!

    Nice to hear Webster, Wardy playng well, and hey the defense earned lots of plaudits too.

    I have re-kindled my enthusiasm!
