Our Heroes v Derby County Pre-Match Thread

[Hookeysmith]

Repeat of this would be nice. What a night!

I was at this game - my god it seems so long ago now

Points of interest

Their 2nd goal - not often you saw God done like a kipper - especially by some no neck no mark like McMinn

Parkers goal was very Tony Morelyesque

Williams goal was very Kodjia / Daleyesque

Shilton - although saved 2 pens in the game he was very flappy on crosses

Never realised that Ormandroyd played for them

[Clark W Griswold]

Cascarino made his debut away at Derby in 1990, a 1-0 win with a goal from Ormo and Shilton did make an incredible save from a Cascarino header. I was there and it was a crazy away day.

You know what happens though when other teams can't by a win - then they have a match v Aston Villa ... we all know the rest!!!

0-2 Bent x2

Few things I remember about that day. It was 'scorchio' weather. I discovered real ale in the pub just down from Derby train station and my mate got that drunk he travelled the whole of the number 9 bus route there and back twice before the driver threw him off back in Brum. Happy days.

Unseasonably warm evening.

We’ve played Derby at home 59 times and accumulated 99 points from those games.
I fancy a draw in order to make a ton.
The full list of teams we’ve acquired 100+ home points from:
136 Everton
128 Sunderland
117 Blackburn Rovers
108 West Bromwich Albion
106 Sheffield Wednesday
105 Bolton Wanderers
104 Arsenal
104 Liverpool
104 Newcastle United
102 Manchester City

If Johnstone plays we lose.

Bent will score.

Thor needs benching as he all flowing locks and no hammer.

Elphick to be kidnapped and driven as far from VP as possible.

Not predicting result or score as I am really not as interested as I should be.

[West Derby Villan]

I haven't got a clue!

Gone for a 0-0 bore draw as Bruce will play it safe at VP he might even roll out the 352 for another trial run. I will be worried when it gets to about 89 mins though if it's still scoreless.

[LukeJames]

I don't think in the history of the game that there has ever been a more nailed on 0-0 than this...

So 4-3 Villa.

I agree with all of that except the last line and I'm going for 1-1, Bunn in for Johnstone.

Bruce confirmed Kodja is recoverd for Saturday following a knock to his ribs

[Brend'Watkins]

That gives me hope.
