Yellowhammer 95 Posted February 7, 2019 Just hope we don't under estimate them on Sunday, on paper it looks like we should destroy them but it can be hard playing bottom teams they will raise their game so just hope the players don't think it will be easy .lots of hype as usual but if we play like we did last week we should not have a problem but this potentially could be a banana skin game. Ideally we would kill game off by half time Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ideally we would kill game off by half time Couple of points, there's no way Farke will underestimate them, we probably won't destroy them, our game management has come on a bundle since Brum and we're unlikely to risk injuries pushing for more goals when the game is won.

Fuzzar 1,853 Posted February 7, 2019 I don't think we'll underestimate them. But regardless of the fact they'll attempt to turn it into a clogfest, I think we'll thump them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Midlands Yellow 4,682 Posted February 7, 2019 Wouldn’t swap playing them on Sunday for any other opposition. Worst team in the league by a distance . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Midlands Yellow 4,682 Posted February 7, 2019 Actually don’t over estimate them and all will be fine . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sonyc 6,144 Posted February 7, 2019 I'm most pleased we have heard nothing from players or manager this week. Barely a peep, just the usual hyping up by journalists. It was the same pre-Leeds. That is what is do great about our manager and Sporting D at the moment. Just getting on with preparations and then the customary Friday lunchtime press meeting. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ricardo 8,033 Posted February 7, 2019 You only have to look at the FA cup to see that there are no certainties in football. Derby games are great levellers, anything we get will be hard earned. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
East Rider 589 Posted February 7, 2019 I'm not sure we have underestimated anyone this season. DF appears to be the opposite and long may it continue. He is polite in his assessments of the opposition pre game, and as a club we tend now, not to get involved in derby hype. Early goals for City, then control the game out will do nicely.

ROBFLECK 134 Posted February 7, 2019 Early goal will be the key imo , as it is in many games... I am convinced DF will not treat this game differently and he doesn't need to tell the players what it means to the fans. I am confident there will be a well thought out game plan in place and ipsh!t do not have the personnel to come and spy on us ...I reckon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Woodman 92 Posted February 7, 2019 From being known for scoring last minute equalisers and winners, we've suddenly gone the other way with 6 of our last 10 goals coming in the first half. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Norfolk Mustard 106 Posted February 7, 2019 I'm with Midlands Yellow; best not to over-estimate them! Yes it's a derby, however we're playing the worst team in the division. Ignore Paul Lambert & let's see a clinical execution of the task... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BroadstairsR 2,273 Posted February 7, 2019 Derby games are usually a leveller ... but can we sink that low? They cannot raise a game much, that's for sure. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SwindonCanary 457 Posted February 7, 2019 Well, listening to Paul's press conference, He's certainly talking the talk. My only hope is he has not got the team to walk the walk ! Sound like he will not sit back, but come at us, could be a very interesting game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
splendidrush 720 Posted February 7, 2019 Lambert talks a good game, the idea that his Team will try harder, run faster or be more of an attacking threat poses two questions, why haven't they been doing it all season? and what has changed in the last week that makes him think that he can suddenly switch on a performance to beat the top Team away from home?
