12.30 kick off again! 

Another game against a Paul Warne team. Good to see him still working and fingers crossed he doesn't get relegated again. Hopefully for him he won't run on the pitch to celebrate when we score. 

Derby fans are confident

Look out for 

Kayden Jackson. He only managed 24 goals in 170 games for Ipswich but has 2 in 6 for Derby this season. I think FRGS stands for first Rams goal scorer.

Derby are currently looking for new investment in a push for the Premier League. You would think they'd want to avoid it after their last experience.

That fan stacking it out of the stand is definitely the funniest moment of celebration I can remember. Not to mention THAT commentary when the ball squirmed in!

[dylanisabaddog 6,196]

I predict a comfortable victory following the Watford demolition

I'd love someone to accept responsibility. Absolutely hilarious

A day of football tomorrow, Norwich Derby 1st 12:30 ( our closest game ) then over to Molineux for Wolves Liverpool at 5:30.

Was thinking of taking in Birmingham or Burton or Walsall but they didn’t work out lol as Walsall also 12:30 Burton at Blackpool, and Birmingham 3pm but another sell out, so could t get tickets.

It's quite a good weekend for football. 

Looking forward to a victory at Derby followed by Mulbarton v Ely. Then on Sunday with a late Buendia winner at Portman Road. Followed by Man Utd v Spurs in which by a miracle I'd like to see both lose. May give that a miss...

Obviously I hope you're correct, but don't think we should take Derby lightly at all, especially at their place.

I suspect that Warne will tell them to set off at top speed and go for an early goal. But I'm more confident of our back 4 than at any time in the last few years.

2800 away fans going tomorrow, decent.

You couldn’t get a Birmingham ticket in League 1 but you could for Wolves in the Premier??

[Pyro Pete 2,395]

Can I politely request we have four asterisks either side of the thread title?

Thanks, dylan.

[TheGunnShow 7,470]

Will be a tough game at their place and Warne will surely have his team up for a scrap. Not sure we'll get all three points here but a draw would do nicely.

Think we'll get it as well. Suspect a 1-1 draw.

But he'll get his pocket picked by a Scouser and a smack in the mouth from a Wolves fan.

I was thinking more what that says about supporters in the lower leagues and the supposed “Premier” League. The word armchair comes to mind.

[baldy09 200]

We can see if city has really turn the corner if we win against Derby that would give a good indication

Not sure whether to feel worried or optimistic. So far we've won 2, drawn 2 and lost 2.

On paper you would kind of hope/expect for 3 pts, but you never know with us away. Would be good to get 3 pts ahead of the Dirty Leeds and Sarge on the scoresheet. 

Wouldn't be surprised if our next 3 games are D, L, W.

Yep, we are going into a company season ticket to Wolves. 
Despite what a certain poster will tell you about Birmingham only sold out v us as they did cheap tickets, they are selling out every game.

You could get Villa Champions League tickets easy enough if you wanted to pay £97 a pop.

It's the old thing - progress isn't linear. We looked good at Watford, but it's still a young, embryonic team so anyone expecting the team to build on from Watford might get a veritable slap in the face. I expect we'll be inconsistent, but by definition guessing when the team is going to play well below its capabilities is a veritable lottery.

A fired-up Warne side on their home turf that's started reasonably well as a promoted side is definitely going to cause problems. Oxford certainly did.

Yes you're making sense, but we suddenly have a back 3 or back 4 that can deal with most of what will be thrown at it at this level. It's been a long time since we've been able to say that. Doyle in particular looks an inspired signing and I definitely don't see him having dips in form. The young and fragile players are generally in forward positions. I feared the worst at the start of the season but it really has been turned round. Our weakest positions last year are now the strongest.

We're now leaving.  Safe trip to everyone going and to those that aren't,  enjoy it on your little rivers !

That back four had three 20 year olds in it, Doyle's got 100 league appearances in his locker which is good going for a 20-year old defender but both Fisher and Chrisene really are just starting out at this level in the grand scheme of things. Gunn's not in his best form by any means and that leaves everyone's second favourite scapegoat in Duffy to provide experience.

That said, Doyle and Chrisene look more physically imposing than what we had before (although McCallum was pretty aggressive, just not very quick) and Fisher's got tigerish tendencies despite looking like he needs some prolonged time on squats and deadlifts. I just don't think a back line with three 20 year olds in it is going to be that consistent at this level yet.

A back line with Doyle and Cordoba trumps any combination from last season. Hanley and Gibson hardly filled many with confidence as a unit. 

[LaUnionCanary 150]

Only two of those 20 year olds were on the pitch at any one time, Fisher started and Chrisense came on as a sub. The one not mentioned by you is Cordoba, a marked improvement on last season. Same back line today I suspect.

[JonnyJonnyRowe 1,041]

Tough game this, Derby have had a good start and won all three of their home games.

We, of course, have lost 2 of our 3 away games.

Draw wouldn't be a disaster.

[Midlands Yellow 4,714]

3.1 Norwich and ready for Leeds.

Think we'll do quite well to get one, but as predicted, I think we'll do so.

Won't be easy at all though. Oxford should act as a warning about what fired up promoted teams on their home turf can do.
