Our Heroes v Derby County Pre-Match Thread

[Nev]

Fuck me, I thought this season would be different, but here we are. My first thought on seeing this thread was "shit, another game?".

Anyway, hope springs eternal, a win for us.

It was against a Derby team that SGT hit on the winning formula after an average start to the season in 89/90

Bruce is no SGT so I fear this could be his "Bolton" moment

If the crowd start the "You don't know what you are doing" chant it could be bye bye

0-3 Darren Bent hat trick.

Be interesting to see what we adopt given Hogan's absence.

Wouldn't mind seeing Jedinak screening, with Hourihane and Lansbury offering something genuine going forwards for once and Green and Adomah wide of Kodjia.

I hope Bree is back.

Can we edit the title? We're not "that lot.

Can I second this please? I am sure the team across the city are 'that lot' - I'd honestly prefer it if we could just go back to naming our team as beautifully as they are supposed to be named, but if people feel we have to head up threads in this manner, can we at least be 'this lot'.

[WarszaVillan]

How about 'a fat lot..' ?

[maigrait]

0-2 the misery continues..

[Legion]

Better?

[darren woolley]

I reckon this will be a 1-1 draw.

[clash city rocker]

The result depends on how many goals we gift derby. If we give them 2 or more then we have no chance.

[UK Redsox]

Better?

Could the eye-roll emoticon be inserted after the word heroes ?

[Toronto Villa]

I have no clue. Whatever the line up, formation, system etc etc, I'm lost as to why we look so inept. So fully expect to get beaten again and praying that something, anything clicks and we find a way to put it all together for 90 minutes. I honestly have no idea what that even feels like.

[David_Nab]

Derby's revival has hit the breaks as of late and they could only draw with Burton at home so with that in mind I predict ..an easy 3 nil win for them

[DaveD]

Can't call this one. Torn between starting well, missing a few chances, giving a soft goal away before half-time and collapsing to lose 3-0, or starting badly, giving a soft goal away after 5 minutes and getting outplayed to lose 3-0.

1-1
