Match Day Thread Derby County FC v Sunderland AFC – Tuesday 21st January 2025 - KO 19:45

Enzo inspired 3-0.

We are far too good for them in every position.

 

Who's the band if I may ask

 

Patterson
Hume Mepham O'Nien Cirkin
Rigg Neil Jobe Le Fee
Mayenda Isidor​

4-0 Isidor (3, 1 pen), Le Fee

 

I think Wilson will be like a man possessed against Derby. I expect him to bag at least one goal.

 

Hopefully no more Stoke or Plymouth type performances. First of our 10 match winning run

 

Is this on the red button on Sky? Away with work and going to try and get it on in a bar I know if it is. Ta

 

Yes mate.

 

Cheers RTB. If we’re to finish top two, there’s no excuse not to get 3 points here. I think we’ll do the job 2-0.

My team (assumed Meptham is out):

patto
Hume Ballard onien cirkin
Neil jobe
Roberts Le fee Mayenda
Isidor

 

Isidor is currently

11/4 anytime goal scorer
20/1 brace
100/1 hat trick

 

I was going to say I'd like to see a reaction but in truth we played well Friday. Hopefully the chances go in and we come away with a comfortable victory.

 

Topper. Thanks

 

@RTB great as always. Going for an away win 0-4 - Isidor x2, Roberts and Le Fee

 

@RTB -another belter!
I always get nervous against lower opposition but think the lads will be seething after Friday and that Wilson will have a point to prove.

I like Roberts but would think that Mayenda's pace and power will pose the biggest threat to Derby. I would also like to see another clean sheet and catch up a bit of the goal difference deficit.

Ha'waaaaaaaaaaaaay

 

Agree with the lineup, whilst Roberts would be the obvious choice i felt he was pretty anonymous against them last time out - on the ball their defence is pretty shaky and will **** themselves if Eliezer runs at them.

Also with Le Fee in the middle we don't necessarily need the creativity of Roberts and should be able to go more gung ho in attack with him finding the runs of Mayenda, Aouchiche and Isidor.

 

HA'WAY THE LADS

MACKEMS ATTACKEM


Is this where we kick on to the end of the season with a big win and stake our place in an automatic promotion place ?

 

I hope that after Friday he doesn't try too hard and go for goal when it's not really on. Think we'll win though

 

Thanks again RTB for another brilliant thread. Love these.
It will no doubt be a tense night they always seem to be. I would be very disappointed if we don't take the 3 points. It won't be as easy as some think but we have enough to beat these whatever team rlb puts out. Fast start hopefully get the 1st goal get the crowd on their backs and then take it from there. Canny journey and another late night. Fingers crossed we do the business. Haway the lads.

 

Yeah another one where we should feel confident going into it based on their horrible form and that they hate their manager, but its always typical sunderland to disappoint

 

I know what you're saying but, to be fair, we didn't disappoint against Sheff Utd and have only lost four times this season.

I agree with the lad on Alt-Ending and noticed at the time. When the players were in the tunnel the Burnley players were trying to have a bit banter but the Sunderland lads just weren't having it. They were so focussed and steely eyed I really thought 'this is it', they know how good they are and they're going for it.

If Derby saw that game they'll not be sleeping too well on Monday night, they'll know we can destroy them if it clicks.

 

Oh yeah for sure, just to clarify i AM confident about Tuesday it just seems so classic sunderland haha
