Oh dear....The alarm bells won't be going off...at that stat. They'll be literally belting out as loud as Big Ben's bells. I said a few weeks ago Derby looked up for the fight. A lot more than us...Good forbid I am proven right.


Yepp. Last massive game had to be home to Cardiff. Though circumstances were different as Cardiff were already promoted. This one really is a final.

in what way are they more up for a fight a lot more than us?

Neither team looked up for it when they played Luton recently. They got a good win on Saturday, and we showed some fight for once v Preston 2nd half. We need to have that fighting spirit from the off on Saturday, and if we do, I think we win. If we play like we did v Luton, we won't score all day.

One concern I always have is that we don’t have a big forward line so looking at the midfield for me on their day Alzate and Puerta are two good footballers but are pretty lightweight so we need someone with that real strength in the midfield to aid them. That’s if he decides to put them both in and if so Who do you put in, Palmer who on his day can run a game but then plays poorly for the next two or Crooks who for me added so much to the team when he first came but seems to have run out of steam a bit. Slater works hard but again not the biggest. Obviously I don’t know who he will go for but it’s a massive decision because at times I feel as though we have been bullied out of games this season. I read Derby scored from two set pieces at the weekend so are they another big side?

West broms marking for Derbys first goal was awful. Near post header. The second was a classic near post flick on and their striker tapped in. Awful marking. Bit like ours

Just to add to the stress, I've got Sky coming on Saturday afternoon, with my parents holding the fort while I'm at the game, so been told to keep my phone handy, which I hate doing while watching City.
 
What if sinik comes off the bench and scores the winner?

I guess youd need the guy sat next to you to prod you awake
