Pride Park
1945
Fri 19 Jan '18
So these match threads now appear to be seemingly superfluous as some of have discovered the art of actually producing articles.........making some of my utterances superfluous ......utterly.....
Derby go into the match with confidence sky high, but me being me is not going to sing 'til the fat lady says we are promoted. The Brum game could have had a very different outcome and that is what keeps pecking away at that Derby County part of my cerrellebrum and stopping me from enjoying (mostly) from what I should be enjoying.
Intrigue and debate surround the signing of CJ (who didn't get where he was today by standing on the touch line) but I will withhold judgement until,I've seen the proof.
Ledley should be back but I can only see him playing a peripheral sub role, BJ has no chance but apart from these issues Derby can name a strong side.
Oh and remember last time? 3-0 down at half-time to Bristol City then recovering to draw level? Courtesy of Darren Bent.

I’m not worried about villa or Cardiff. It’s in our hands. We win our games and we don’t need to worry

I’d quite like a Grealish. He’s playing well at the moment.

So would I but I don't think Rowett would play him, he doesn't fit our style of play.

he's a mardy T\/\/AT, when the going is against him he gives up.

I thought Grealish was by far Villa's best player when they came to Pride Park and he was on the losing side then.
Only thing I have against him is that he looks like he plays for Melchester Rover circa 1958.

I was meaning a Grealish type of player rather than him personally. JR and Weimann are perfect “manager” players in that they do their jobs as he wants them to. Lawrence has the ability but at the moment it rarely results in anything other than lost possession. It would be nice to have a slightly more artful wide player who could feint, beat a defender and pass nicely. A bit of composure in that position. Is there such a thing out there?

Albrighton.
Go get him Gary.

Usual home match threads average around 600 comments. Without Heb it is 400. Did Heb actually contribute 200 comments per thread?

Just been reading the DET report about us showing the replay of the non-penno. It appears we have broken the league rules as per:
Regulation 34.4 of the EFL rules states that a giant screen should not be used to show "action replays of negative or controversial incidents", "any incident which may bring into question the judgement of any match official" or "any material which would tend to criticise, disparage, belittle or discredit the league, any club or any official, player or match official or to bring the game into disrepute".
Based on the "discredit the league" rule, how do Forest get permission to show any "big screen" action?
