    Derby v Blades

    I see you play the League leaders next, although it's unlikely they'll be top by the time the match starts.
    Still, it's a game you should win, shouldn't you? They aren't the best of travellers.

    Did you know that, originally, it was Wendy who were the Blades? They adopted "The Owls" when they moved to the Owlerton district of Sheffield and the red half of steel city nicked the dropped Blades tag.

    Oh I'm not too sure. I got the feeling the Rookie will conjure up something to prevent another bad televised appearance.

    I see a draw written all over this, if there's gonna be a win, a home one then by the odd goal.

    Unless Hull can still be counted as Yorkshire our record against sides from over the border is poor this year and on the evidence of last year’s two performances we’ll need to be at our best.
    I do however remember two or three great ‘turning point’ wins against the Blades in the not too distant past so, here’s hoping for another.
    Defeat would begin a bit of a minor crisis and I’ll go for a hard fought 2-1 win.

    R A " the slice us open " Was just a throw away because of them being the Blades We couldn't have picked a worse time to face them they are on fire But we're Derby anything can happen certainly have to up our game to get anything

    All very believable, the bit in bold, Mista, however, how often do teams go into an international break on fire and come out of it extinguished or vice versa?

    The bit in blue? We ARE indeed Derby and anything can and will happen. We should also not forget that this is the Championship and, there too, anything can and will happen.

    I think we will get something out of this game. Not necessarily the win, more than likely a draw.
