    Good response. Teams look like they have decided to bully and out muscle us. Just have to stick to our game plan. Looks like Isador could be a big player for us once he settles in

    Hume has been class tonight.

    He's a kid from the Irish Sunday League taking the piss, despite limited talent, and good luck to him.

    I think they will come out all guns blazing for the 1st 10 mins. Nullify them then get another few goals........ hopefully.

    Playing on the break, and getting behind their lumpy defence, is where we can really hurt them imo.

    Watching earlier and thinking wow, what a squad we have now to a few years ago.
    Derby up for it and getting at us but the players responded.
    I'm just onboard for the ride now :emoticon-0148-yes:

    Derby are an honest bunch, and up for a fight, but what a team we have ...

    ... we may even lose this game but I'd rather be us than them.

    Ooh Shenanigans in a derby pub <laugh><laugh>

    I jump up from my bar stool and shout something I cant remember. Then burst into song. 3 dafties at the front of the pub turn round a hoy abuse and threats. A mate of mine, big bugger, steps in front of them and I keep singing. Landlord hoys them out, amid more threats to my goof health. I might have muttered somthing about their parentage, cant quite remember <laugh><cheers>

    Daft buggers came in and had some of by birthday cake, which the owner had bought for me.

    Jobe, sent me text saying that is my birthday present. :1980_boogie_down::1980_boogie_down:

    Canny overall. A bit lax in some areas, but some real quality in others. Hope we press the advantage now. Dont want a boro style 1-0 here, they seem to win first balls on set pieces too easily.
