Derby (12 men) 3. Huddersfield (9 men) 1

To save time later I've already written the score in for this thread...

Pessimistic ?

Negative ?

or simply facing reality......

Derby is Towns worst away venue..with a mere 4 wins in 41 attempts !...and the last of those was 17 visits ago, in 1957 we've lost 15 of those games, some quite badly.

..and we're pretty dire at the moment, calls for Robins to be sacked...the style of play to change...even bringing in the Under 21 team en masse

Further evidence for my predicted massacre...Derby have only conceded one goal at the iPro (Pride Park to you and me) in their last 6 games, 4 of them wins.

The optimists among you might though think, hang on...when they came to our place they were on a run of 7 successive wins, and we held them to a 1-1...

or even..

Derby's automatic promotion hopes have been dashed after slipping from just 2 points behind Burnley at the end of February to 11 points now..having won only 3 of their last 9 games..so they will be down in the dumps a bit..faced with 'only' a play-off place ...although that is not yet guaranteed.

Nah, we're in for a mullering I'm afraid...Roared on by their usual vociferous and blood thirsty fans I can only see...slaughter...

By tea time on Saturday we could be just 4 points clear of the drop zone.....One win in our last ten games...six defeats....some horrendous performances...disharmony in the dressing room....players held back for an hour after the shambolic effort against Ipswich on Tuesday night....

Could this be Robins' last game...or will he find the 'magic touch' and instill some pride at Pride Park ?

Let the debate begin....let Mirf bring some stats to prove my pessimism ill founded, LV prove he can predict a 2-0 win for the Terriers.....
