| DERBY COUNTY v FLEETWOOD TOWN League 1 # 37 |
| Pride Park Stadium 1500 Saturday 18th March 2023 |
| We don't make things easy for ourselves after a slightly disappointing victory at Oxford last week but hey! a victory is a victory and its good to get back to winning ways. |
| I'm thinking that the age and paucity of our squad is now starting to tell in this frantic sequence of games - added to is the absence of JK on international duty - lets hope he comes back intact. |
| Injury news - Max Bird may be available for Saturday.....but that is a very tenuous 'maybe' and will not last 90 minutes. James Chester is becoming more and more vague in my memory |
| We drew 0-0 with Fleetwood earlier in the season and this game will be a tough one - on their day, Fleetwood like Derby can beat anyone, so I'm hoping its not their day. |
| And Happy Birthday to Igor.... |
