Matchday thread: Rams v Port Vale

[Andy_Faber]

Any crystal ball gazing on this one?

Tuesday told me that we are short on squad depth so its a good job we have a fairly fit team at the mo, and I reckon our best will beat Vale's best if the whole squad orall but one is available

2-0 Derby

[SithHappens]

3 nil to Derby. Run has started

Another 3-0 from me...for the same reason. God I hope this isn’t another false dawn and that we’re not getting ahead of ourselves.

0-0, let's get the false dawnedness out of the way quickly

2-1 will be a slightly bigger crowd, I always feel we play worse at home when the plastics turn up, but still think we'll get the win

[MadAmster]

They've sold all the 2700 seats we sent them. Yesterday morning we had 3200 home seats unsold. That's a 28K+ crowd so lots of plastics. As usual most of the empty seats are North, NE corner and the North end of the East.

Just about everybody fit so I expect
Wildsmith
Chester Davies Cashin
Bird
NML Knight Hourihane Barkhuizen
Collins A N Other

A N Other? Not a new player, I'm just undecided. My brain says Dobbin but there's this little voice telling me he might just go with Osula.

A win 3-1.

On paper we should win this one, let's face it if we want to push for promo then we've got to do well at home especially against mid-table sides. But we seem to have a habit of not turning up when the fans do in numbers!! A big gate equals pressure equals trouble.
1 - 1 draw and the 'floaters' have their customary moan!

[Ramshank72]

I think I'd prefer to be called a "plastic" than a "floater" Mac

Indeed, floaters are 5h1t

The floaters/plastics tend to have more than their share of the brown stuff!
It is, however, a chance to really get some momentum both on the pitch and off!
Let's hope we grab the chance.
