So, back to the bread and butter, the grind, the real thing, the Championship. Frankly, I am ambivalent about international breaks and only pleased that England qualified because it means more football after our play-off victory at Wembley next May.........
Last time Derby played Watford, Chris Martin made his debut as a loanee in a 2-1 defeat at Vicarage Road. Only 3 others of the line-up that day - Bryson, Keogh and Ward will play today.
Watford will provide a big test - not least due to their foreign (loan?) contingent which has split opinion. Gianfranco Zola’s side are unbeaten at home in the Championship and they are top scorers in the division with 22 goals in 11 matches.
Derby County:
Grant
Smith
Keogh
Whitbread
Forsyth
Eustace
Bryson
Hughes
Bennett
Martin
Ward.
Subs: Morch (GK), Buxton, Sammon, Lowe, Freeman, Jacobs, Dawkins.
********************************************************************************
Watford:
Almunia (GK); Belkalem, Angella, Ekstrand; Cassetti, McEachran, Iriney, McGugan, Pudil; Fabbrini, Forestieri.
Subs: Bond (GK), Brown, Battocchio, Doyley, Acuna, Murray, Smith.
Watford 2 - 3 Derby County - Thread.....

We haven't worked out the concept of 'posts for a quid' yet, TEG.

Should look into the GSE model then where they do under 14s free for a season

Sorry I missed the party at Watford, I've been at the Classic Bike show in Stafford all weekend, (just got home).
Was on the lash last night (caravan party) and put the telly on at half eleven, to see the mighty Rams do the business, (I had no idea what the score was). Well it seemed rude not to have a few more bottles after that, happy days.

Nice buzz that scouse not knowing the score and watching the fish go one on one with that sublime pass from Hughes and see him score after fluffing his lines a few minutes earlier.

Good to hear from you Scouse.
You missed an exciting thread.
How was the golf today Igor?

check Sammon's goal out, from this angle, and the fans reaction in the corner.
This DCFC channel is getting to be a bit quality.
