    Predictions etc for the BIG GAME

    So we're really reaching the sharp end of the season now. I'm going for a 2-1 win tonight with Davies pulling out another majestic performance in defence and a couple of goals from us on the break

    Wind back 24 months and we couldn't have been more dejected going into a second leg, and we NEARLY pulled that one off. What a great position we are in IMO

    Anyone?

    COYR!

    Rams to get through! and win at Wembley! Wolves to replace West Brom, Cardiff, to replace Swansea and Derby to replace Stoke. Looks like it's meant to be.

    1-1 on the night and we go through to Wembley. At our best we can beat Fulham, Villa and Boro. We look like we are getting back to that so every reason to have some confidence.

    An early goal for us would be a lovely thing. Who knows? I’m not over optimistic...not least because I can see us tiring in the last third, but we’re still in it so anything can happen so COYR!!!

    On the subject of other clubs such as Stoke and West Brom...I suppose it depends a little on how old we all are, but having been properly interested in football since the mid sixties I always think of Stoke and West Brom as being top flight clubs. Guess if your interest started ten of fif**** years later then you tend to remember them bumbling around in the second and third tiers...bit like Leeds and Forest of late.

    I also fancy a 1-1 draw.

    I'd love to be that positive but it depends which team turns up. We can do enough to win on aggregate, or even the tie, but equally we have the capacity to get battered 4-0.

    Its so difficult to figure out as there are so many variants of the Rams out there.

    An early goal for us will leave them really chasing the game and vulnerable on the break to conceding more. Let's hope we can got at them from kickoff and get that goal in the first 15 minutes, always assuming we don't concede 2 in getting there

    Yes, that would be nice. Incidentally, noticed anything recently?

    Might I assume a red card has been issued?
