Our Heroes v Derby County Pre-Match Thread

[Dazvillain]

First time I've been able to go for a while , just wanna be cheered up 😳

[SoccerHQ]

1-3.

Derby haven't been great recently but think they'll hurt us on the break with the pace of Ince. They still have a pretty good squad for this level.

[CT Villan]

Second half injury time, Bent shoots and it's heading for the corner flag until Elphick slips over and deflects it between Johnstone's legs for the Derby win.

[The Moose]

Do you think we can be heroes, just for one day?

[BOB MANSFIELD]

Yup...but 3 points won't be enough.
Couldn't we make that Heroes for a lifetime ?
By g*d we need some of those on the park right now.

We are adding pressure to a group of players who don't need it right now. We have a decent set of players and manager. Give them a bit of breathing space and they'll turn it around. Keep micro analysing like we do and we will shoot ourselves in the foot with that never ending spiral of self destruction. 1-0 Villa.

[Goldie.7]

We haven't had a 0-0 since September so I'll go for that.

The scary thing is McClaren is probably less technically inept than Mr. Potato Head. 1-3

[brontebilly]

Hard team to pick, a novel concept but we should try and outscore Derby

-------------------Johnstone
Bacuna, Chester, Baker, Taylor
Adamoah, Jedinak, Hourihane, Green
--------------------Grealish
--------------------Kodjia

Hutton didn't do much wrong at Newcastle but we need a bit more going forward.

[wittonwarrior]

Its there pace on the counter attack that is  going to hurt  us.  Just please give us something to smile about.

[260475]

Staying positive about this one. Burton did ok there so we can do one better.

They need breathing space for sure, but do you seriously think a scattering of interwebsters with long standing grudges against each others' positions  "micro analysing" the the games has any effect whatsoever on what happens on the pitch? Or for that matter upon the crowd's general demeanour?

I think not.

See no evidence to support false optimism.

Routine victory for Derby following comedy defending, inexplicable substitutions, non existent midfield, crowd unrest.......etc

[atomicjam]

I am not sure why, but I have a feeling we will win. 2-0.

Clutching at Straws the law of averages etc 2 : 1. Chester with the Winner
