Hull Tigers 0 - 2 Derby County

Hull City versus Derby County…….Hull City who not long ago were treading the heights and dancing the dazzling ballroom of the Premier League – so basically they have a few squillions then us to squander on players wages. I think therefore we might win, or lose, or draw.

NSR is still recovering from Black Friday, that one in West Bridgford and is still not well enough to post. Still normal service was resumed last week and refrains of ‘mind the gap’ are not now a source of amusement but of pity and more of a sense of duty…………..still they can comfort themselves with the assurance that there WILL be 3 teams worse than them.

Derby go into this game without the services of BJ Bradley Johnson but ready to step up could be #CB4 who seemed to be up for it when he came on last week or maybe O’Hendrick who has had early nights this week and could feature.

Hull are without influential defender Dawson, who has become a bit of a talisman for them and they may suffer….or not.

Hull have the lowest amount of league goals, 9, conceded this season. They have also beaten Derby five times in the last six meetings. Derby will need Weimann to keep up his current form – after failing to net in his first 11 games, he has scored three in the last four games.

Team:-Carson, Christie, Keogh, Shackell, Warnock; Thorne, Hendrick, Butterfield; Ince, Weimann, Martin

Substitutes: Grant, Bryson, Bent, Russell, Baird, Pearce, Shotton
