The Rams have kept clean sheets in five of their last six games in all competitions, and we expect Steve McClaren to choose a similar defence from those games.

We also expect Darren Bent to be included after a brilliant start to his loan at the Midlands side, with Stephen Warnock also with a shout of his first appearance for his new side.

I'm going to go for it City 2 Derby 2

Can't see anything but a 4th defeat on the trot 2-0 Derby

im going to be optimistic and say 1-1
I just want the team to show a bit of fighting pride that's all

Thats what I am hoping for and thats all we ask

Can't see anything but a 4th defeat on the trot 2-0 Derby

Gaffer,I can understand why,but I am just hoping that they will give there all and Slade gets his tactics right

We always play 45 minutes of football and 45 minutes of shitball so i definitely think we'll score. Aside from that i dont expect much especially with a week defence. i'm going to go 3-1 to derby

Derby will know our tactics will be to string a pass together if we are lucky, and then pump a long, aimless high ball into their half. I can only see a 3 or 4 - nil defeat for us.

Things are so dire at present,it hurts me to say 1-4 Derby

I am on a CCFC downer but.......things have to change at some point.

3-2 bloooobirds

I'm gonna be ridiculously optimistic and say 1-3

Can't see anything but a 4th defeat on the trot 2-0 Derby

Gaffer,I can understand why,but I am just hoping that they will give there all and Slade gets his tactics right

Let's hope so,just a bit of fight be good to see.

Not a lot to ask for

2-1 city

Bruno Ecuele Manga is back

David Marshall and Anthony Pilkinghton are still out injured.

Derby v Blackburn tomorrow night, if they win, they will prob sell more tickets.

[quote="Forever Blue"]Bruno Ecuele Manga is back

David Marshall and Anthony Pilkinghton are still out

Bruno and Marshall the only quality we got. How long can we keep 'em?

If Marshall was fit,I honestly believe,we would of sold him.


Bruno, I hope we keep him

It's going to be very difficult to get a result against a good derby team.I think what city need most importantly is a decent performance to build some confidence. The fans dnot believe in the team at monent and it's spreading through the team.a big derby following may creat a good atmosphere from our own fans which may help the players. Keep the faith we need to turn this around quickly or we will be in a relagation fight. We got blue back so let's now back slade and the club because we got him regardless .

1-2 again,wouldn't surprise me if we went ahead again either.

If fabio is playing in defence then derby will get 2/3 easy and we may get 1/2 with kenwyn jones up front.

A bore draw 0-0 would be as good as a win at the moment.

The way we are playing a hammering is on the cards but football the game it is I'm going for city 2-1. Got to change at some point and maybe this is the game to do it.

Cardiff City 1-4 Derby County

I called the Reading game spot on so I'm going to call the same for this game
Cardiff City 1 v 2 Derby County

turner wont be playing he is injured

think we will lose this one 1-4

Fabio and Declan John are hoping to start after impressing in training

4-1 Derby.

1-3 another defeat

Last night

Derby 2 Blackburn 0
