Match Day Thread Derby v Hull City

It's obvious to say but Morris worries me a bit today. He's the kind of striker we always struggle against, and he really bullied Hughes in our home game v Luton last season.

 

Good turnout.
The weather tonight
Is grim, to say the least. Torrential rain belting down here at Pride Park as the players warm up out in front of us. City's 1,800 or travelling support beginning to gather over in the far corner

 

Tonight's game
Is the Rams' annual remembrance fixture so before the game, we will have the Last Post and a minute's silence.

 

But youre missing one thing

Ajayi is here
As long as hes fit, he will destroy morris

 

I expected that too, but Ndala did look exciting the first few games so we'll see what he's got tonight!

 

I take it you didn't watch City much in the Terry Dolan years? It was still a fun day out though.

 

Where’s Williams? Keeps getting talked about him playing in the u21s to get him into the match day squad but not on the bench again.

 

How many of the starting XI are categorised as walking wounded?

 

Lovely weather there. UTT!

 

Perfectly observed
City owner Acun Ilicali laid a wreath along with Rams owner David Clowes before the silence which was perfectly observed.

 

Proper british weather this

 

Worse than that, he is a dirty rotten scoundrel

 

id be happy with one brain

 

Ohhh I thought it was an 8pm ko.
Have I missed anything ?

 

Not sure how many times it needs to be said he’s part of the u23’s team before people stop asking where he is. There’s quite a few in that team deserving of a first team opportunity ahead of him right now. Ultimately if he’s good enough and his mind is in the right place he will get his chance eventually but he will have to be patient. Can see him going out on loan in Jan to get some first team minutes under his belt.

Not a dig at you btw.

 

Geldharts got oil on his boots....

 

Oooooof

 

Bullet of a side foot that

 

crooks hits the bar

 

That touch from Joseph was absolutely diabolical for a professional footballer but it almost became a fantastic assist
