**Official Pre-Match Thread - Derby v City**

[TDAGlobal Superstar]

When David Kerslake took over after Malky's departure, City produced arguably their best performance of last season at Arsenal.  They were unlucky to lose, but if the spirit and resolve shown that day can be repeated at Derby tomorrow, then we might well get something from the game.

It will be interesting to see where Gabbidon & Young view the strengths of the squad and the balance of Malky & Ole players they come up with.  Maybe something like this.......

Marshall

Brayford  Manga  Connolly  John

Daelhi  Digkacoi  Adeyemi  Noone (Pilkington if not fit)

Guerra  Le Fondre

Personally I think we are on a downward spiral, the players have had it easy with oles nicey nice aproach, it'll take more than ole going and a pair of ex players coaching them to sort it out,

Anyway 6-1 Derby, :shocked:

Can't top that.

Anyway bucking the trend 1-1 draw,

I actually think that City might nick it 0 - 1, but then that's after several cool beers and a very nice bottle of red.............bookmark for

[Slimfrog's Son™Global Superstar]

Absolutely no idea. This could go a number ways

[Arkay DubyaGlobal Superstar]

I predict some kind of result.

You're welcome.

You're welcome.

What if Pride Park is subject to an act of god, causing the match to be abandoned and replayed at a later date?

[SteWellsTeam Captain]

We'll win this by 3 goals.
I predict Derby 1 - 4 Cardiff.
