I've made the late decision to go, but my will to get out the house is ever waning. I ****ing hate Derby.

The traffic around near the stadium is awful. I went for the December away game 2-0 victory a few years ago.

I wanted to go, but I'm just too knackered to bother.

Don't park around near the stadium. I approach from the south so it's easy for me to say, but if you go in on the a52 (I think it is?) off the m1 and just head straight to the ground your stuck with a choice of small match day car parks around kfc or burglar king whichever it is, and faced with solid traffic and thousands of ****s walking down the middle of the road. It's the worst possible way to go to/from ipride propark.

It's a ground that's well worth taking a 10/15 minute trek around to the other side of to save 30/45/60 minutes of hell after the game.

People do walk in the middle of the road near there dont they? Weird.
 
It seems pretty obvious keep the same team and win and it was the right thing to do. Keep it and lose and vice is a clueless ****.
Change a winning team and we win and he's finally learning, change it and we lose and he's a clueless ****, never change a winning team.

God it's great aLways been right. Better than my own team doing well.
 
Is the edit button ****ed it won't let me correct vice to Bruce.
Saying that I used to head to the ground from that brothel across the road... Maybe it was on my mind
 
I was toying with the idea of going to tonight but I'd already sorted Saturday out as I'm meeting up with a couple of mates in Huddersfield before the game. Can't afford the cost of both trips on top of travel and I guess there'll be other people in the same boat. Both tonight and Saturday are normally great opportunities for a good away following with a relatively short distance to travel but having both games next to each other make it a choice of one or the other.
 
As for tonight's game, the team just need to go for it. We got punished at Boro for being too cautious and the same will likely happen again tonight if we follow the same vein. It's not a case of being gung-ho, just showing enough threat to make the opposition worry about us rather than us worry about them. Derby are a decent side but they shouldn't strike fear into us. Hopefully Saturday has given us a platform to build on and the likes of Aluko and Snodgrass can build on their own performances from Saturday. A point tonight wouldn't be a disaster, providing that we don't slip up in any of our other remaining games. Quietly confident of a 2-1 victory!

We might have beaten Derby at home if Bruce hadn't started the game negatively and got them that flying start. Hopefully they are as crap as they have been recently.
