Matchday Thread: Derby v Southampton

[Andy_Faber]

About time we played a semi-decent first half and win. IMO Ozoh and Salveson (and CBT if fit) must start

Anyone?

I'll be in attendance with 'er indoors. I expect to see 4231 but would prefer the 442 of Tuesday's 2nd half. If we play the former I think we'll see:

JWZ
Johnston Sanderson Clarke Elder
Travis Ozoh
Ward Morris Salvesen
Agyemang

If we go the latter:

JWZ
Johnston Sanderson Clarke Elder
Ward Travis Ozoh Clark
Morris Agyemang

I don't think CBT is ready, Diaz, that goal apart, hasn't been a roaring success (not on his own there)

2-2.

I think, a step too early and far for us, and don't see anything less than a footballing lesson from the ex-prem team.
1-3 loss at best.
Hopefully spirits not too dampened, and this'll be the lowest point of the season.

[Geoff Parkstone]

A struggle, but they havent set the leage on fire at all (yet). In fact the promotion favourites - the relegated teams and Sheffield United - have all underperformed so far. If we play like the first half v Charlton we'll be lucky to score nil. I hear the second half was better so maybe sneak a 2-2 draw.

I fear for the future of Adams who seems to be sliding down from hero to zero at a pace. Definitely use Ozoh in that role at weekend. If Adams plays he definitely wont in the next game(s) - a walking booking almost in Dewsbury Hall proportions

Was hoping for at least 4 points from Charlton and Saints but have to admit I anticipated three of them via Charlton.
Plus MA’s going …but maybe Mrs. MA will do the trick …along perhaps with Ward being drafted in and providing some service, or maybe even one of his acute angle free kicks.
Another home draw I think, hoping for more, but also fear RS may be right. Seems to cover all bases.

Whatever happens, I'm convinced the Neptune/Pedigree combination will hit the spot.

Tough one this but yeah let's go for it. All being well will be there, 4-1 to the Rams

…and then you awoke from your afternoon nap!

2-1 to us its got to happen!

[SithHappens]

Well only a draw but much improved performance. Really enjoyed today's game.

[Andy_Faber]

Plaudits going out for Ozoh but I thought MOM was someone I often criticise, Zetterstrom. Excellent shot stopping all match

[SithHappens]

There were a few candidates for me, Ozoh, Zetterstrom, Fozzy.

[Ramshank72]

Happy to take a point there, good signs.

Just seen a ten minute ‘highlights’ package and based on that alone, I agree. Thought we were a tad fortunate but at least there are encouraging signs.

I don't think we were fortunate. A draw was probably the right result
