Match Day Thread Hull City v Derby

Saturday 26th 3pm

 

Massive, massive, massive game. We need the whole crowd to urge them on like we did in the second half yesterday. Honestly think Ambrabat trying to get the crowd going helped too.

 

Urgh

 

It’s a worry..
Thinking a draw

 

Second leg of our cup final...?

 

I think City would shake hands on a draw, now, but not sure about Derby!

Fixtures of teams in and around us.
Stoke vs Sheff Utd (Fri) 8pm
Luton vs Coventry (12.30)
Cardiff vs WBA
Oxford vs Sunderland
Preston vs Plymouth

 

He did. Seen a few people wanting to keep him on next season. I would, but not necessarily as a player. He’s at an age now where he could do his coaching badges if he hasn’t got any already.

 

I've gone for a draw - but only because I did that against Preston and we won.

Need to show the same fight we did 2nd half yesterday - but for the whole game on Saturday.

2 games to save our season - 1 win will do it - never mind what others are doing - get the job done ourselves

 

Unfortunately I think we will get rammed

 

Why would you want to keep a retired player with no coaching qualifications? Haven’t we got enough dead wood ‘in the building’?

 

If he’s fit and can still perform - both of which he’s proved - then I think he’d be excellent for another year.

 

Sorry to say, I fear the same too.
Derby will be desperate to win too.
We just don't have the goals in us and can't rely once again on penalties or deflections.
I guess a 0-0 draw would give us hope still, relying on others to falter.
So 4-1 City it is then

 

I fear nothing on Saturday if everything is in place before kick off and the team/club and fans are together as one. Which means a big build up all week in all forms of media, a push to sell out all the tickets, for this is a cup final, winner takes all, and the biggest game we have played at home for a number of years. I want to see the club handing out flags to all the kids, even get rid of some of those awful orange scarves and give them away too. If we have unsold tickets towards the end of the week then discount them, get them all sold and fill the ground with noise and really build the game up to be the big occasion that it is. Its no good thinking at quart to five next Saturday team time, 'i wish I/we had done this or that....'
UTT.

 

We’ve been undone at home by teams that are willing to park the bus, but a draw doesn’t really do Derby any favours whatever happens at Luton in the early kickoff-off, so hopefully they’re more open and leave themselves vulnerable.

The pressure is lessened on city if Luton lose as a point will most likely see us safe.

1-0 City.

 

My biggest concern for Saturday is that Derby are good at set-pieces (they scored from two against West Brom) and we are pretty shaky defending them.

 

Hull City 0-2 Derby County

 

Lets all be positive....2-0 city....

 

That’s not positive. This is positive
3-0 City

 

Can usually switch off and forget about City during the week. Not this week though.

 

yea, its a proper proper big game
nervous excitement

like you said, im so glad luton kick off at lunchtime, no way coventry dont recover surely
