No Ramifications on the Rams. Home v Derby County, Tues. 27-12 22 3-0'clock

[TANGODANCER]

It's here at last. Let's hope Page and Monarch are still seeking to make our Christmas a feast . Let's also hope Boxing Day doesn't become wrestling day as two seemingly equal sides face each other. Derby are a strong side and we really do need to prove our case. A point won't break our hearts I fancy, but three will be a real boost as we face them again in three weeks. Flesh and wine will no doubt be consumed later, but in moderation we hope as Friday starts the carousel again. Come on lads give the fans a bit of festive cheer and send us home happy. COME ON YOU WHITES...

Wow, a long time indeed. Let's hope we make it one to remember...Shades of smelling the hot dogs at Lever end..(-:

[DJBlu]

Just bust 25k for today's ticket sales.

Hoping as it's on Sky we play like we did against Crawley and Salford.

[Prufrock]

Unchanged. That feels rare this season!

Risky team selection for a game against Paul Warne managed Derby. Lightweight midfield. Worries me.

[brommers95]

I said before the Exeter game I was concerned the midfield three would be too lightweight defensively. It worked out okay against The Grecians as they were so poor, but unfortunately I think that trio will be found out today.

[DJBlu]

Production is so night and day. Ifollow using sky's video feed today which is a nice surprise.

[DJBlu]

Dapo ffs, use the ball.

[DJBlu]

Sheehan is far too lightweight.

3 times he's give it away in the middle.

[Mar]

Toal looking very much the part.

[Worthy4England]

Think we shaded first 45, maybe dropped off tempo, last 5 which nearly cost us...but decent halve's work.

[Mar]

Good first half I reckon. Bit of luck at the end with the crossbar hit and unfortunate block on our inventive set piece.

We're looking good as are Derby so draw at the moment is probably right

[BWFC_Insane]

We’ve been battered. If Evatt has anything about him he bins Lee and Sheehan for MJ and Dempsey cos they are all over us and it’s only a matter of time.

Need something more physical up front too as we’ve looked far too lightweight all over.

Midfield is desperate.

Just checking...you are at the UniBol today?

[Mar]

Doesn't matter where he is. He's watching a different game to the rest of us

Battered? Bullshit more like.

We've been in their box as much as they have in ours.

Just how I’ve seen it. Let’s see what happens second half. We were ok for a bit. But last twenty minutes Derby looked very very comfortable to me. Saving grace is they haven’t scored or looked too dangerous. I fear though if they turn the screw properly we are in trouble.

I think they’ve been the better side. We’ve had huff and puff but look wide open in the middle.


Hope I’m wrong.

I could probably stretch to a different opinion than mine of Derby shaded first half, especially if you give more weight to last 5 minutes...but "we've been battered" just isn't correct..they hardly got out of their half for 25 minutes...

They have won a few more midfield 50/50's than I'd like (so wouldn't be against a bit more steel in there) and would be surprised if we didn't see Dad Bod at 60/65 mins...

[TANGODANCER]

Pretty much as predicted then, pretty even Steven? Okay, COME ON WHITES...that should do it.
