Lets hope tonight is a turning point in The Rams' fortunes.

On that subject, what do you recall as major turning points in the past? Here are a couple from me.

David Nish's disallowed 'goal' in the 1976 cup semi-final against Man U, cheated by Jack Taylor, then the following wednesday Charlie George dislocating his shoulder in a home draw against Stoke when a win would have sent us top. That was the only game all season I missed, I heard the news by phoning my dad from the phone box opposite the Kings Hall where I'd been to a Gentle Giant gig. after these twin blows, our season, and our era as the best in the land, slipped away.

21st November 1995, two short weeks after the oft-remembered 'Tranmere game' where we were lucky Igor Stimac didn't pack his bags and head off back to Croatia, and Derby hammered Birmingham away 4-1, and were so much better it was embarrassing, Rocket Ron Willems having one of his finest games. To paraphrase a radio Derby pundit, it felt like 'something spcial was happening', and within six weeks from the Tranmere game we would go from mid table to top, go 20 matches unbeaten, and promotion was prize. I couldn't get to the game - I'd 'escaped' from hospital to attend the match two days after major surgery, drain tubes all over me, pumping gunk into drain bottles I held in an Asda bag, to be told by Mrs F not to be such a ****, so I watched it on the old ITV 10:30 highligts programme, then back to The City in the am before the consultants rounds.

So there's a goody and a baddy - anyone else?
