Watford 1 - 2 Derby County - Still Top

So as talk moves away from Ched, Jessica and Chris Woodhead, we once again return to our raison d'etre (or summat) after this most pointless of breaks

Derby went into the break, top of the league and felt that we should have been allowed to keep the momentum going.......as if ....we only go and lose when we are top...

Interesting selection questions for our Steve - Shotton and Keogh to continue? Bryson on the bench? Hughes to start? Will Chrissy be over the tactical ignorance of Gordon Strachan? When will Lee Grant be back?

Watford have surprised everyone with a forceful challenge upon the upper echelons of the Championship. Will this be sustained and how many players do they have on loan.

This match, for away fans was sold out weeks ago Here's hoping for a very firm stamp on the right to remain top and send out a strong message.

Team news:-

Derby County: Butland, Christie, Keogh, Shotton, Forsyth, Mascarell, Hendrick, Hughes, Ibe, Russell, Martin

Substitutes: Roos, Bryson, Buxton, Dawkins, Eustace, Coutts, Best




Watford: Bond (GK); Paredes, Ekstrand, Bassong, Doyley; Andrews, Tozser; Dyer, Forestieri, Ighalo; Deeney (C)

Substitutes: Gilmartin (GK), Munari, Angella, Cathcart, Murray, Vydra, Anya

That was a good weekend, chaps.

The Memsahib and I went down to Watford on Friday and came back this afternoon with three points safely tucked away. Not many teams will do to Watford what Derby did on their own patch - a fair reflection might have been 5-2, I suppose, so good were The Rams in the first half.

Saying that, two of the best players on the park were the keepers.

Absolute class goals from The Rams this weekend...and a brilliant sight seeing The Rams faithful bouncing in the stand behind when Bryso's screamer hits the back of the net!

Good times!

Mo would you say we' ll be winning the league then? If so, I'll be owing a lot of money to a lot of lads. I said top 6 not top spot.

Just got my tickets for Chelsey too - would settle for more goals like that, more bouncing and the kidnapping of the whole Chelsea side until TV rights are shared equally throughout the land ....

2Wellies, you are a true football revolutionary!

wassa: I think we just might. I'm pretty sure we won't have to worry about the playoffs, don't know why, just feel it.
