Derby County vs Aston Villa Pre-Match Thread

Jedinak in for Jack for me

[Lastfootstamper]

We're still struggling to come up with regular service that we think Rudy would truly thrive on, so I'd like to see Jedinak in in his place. A stronger midfield three, with the three livewires, Ayew, RM and Grealish up top. Keep it on the floor, and let's see if we can play.

Us, 2-0.

I dont think Jedinak will be in for anyone until the red tape is sorted out. The Derby game may be too soon.

Big Ron interviewed by Alan Towers on that clip. Towers drones on about Villa's poor form. Big Ron ain't happy. At the end of the interview Ron turns round to our players, slings a thumb over his shoulder at Towers, and says, "He thinks you're crap, by the way."

Absolutely brilliant.

Big Ron priceless

Good shout, but equally in for westworld.

Petrov from the halfway line

I like the look of our first team now. Reckon we will come away with our first away win in god knows how long.

1-3 Villa.

Very strange to see two managers being interviewed together, Big Ron and Cox in that clip. Only dying to rip the piss out of him at their post-match managers' night-cap, no doubt.

Could be a cracker this one.  Would expect a full house of over 30,000 there and there always seems to be a decent atmosphere at the 5.30pm games.

First away win of the season I reckon. No idea of the score.

I am going for a hard fought 1-1 draw

[CJ]

Haven't won a league game away since first game of last season - over a year ago. Would be nice to break the habit but not sure we'll do it at Derby

[Nev]

I've been to more important games, I've been to more convincing victories, I've been to better performances but this is the best game I have ever attended.

[Dave P]

I'm going for a well earned 1-1 draw.  Ayew to score first and they'll equalise.  We are not ready to truly fire yet but give it another week and Bristol City will feel the full force!!
