Porno Jewell - Thanking his 'lucky stars'..

That Derby County are in town tomorrow night!

I mean... seriously, these are the typical games that we go and lose. I predict a 'toothless' display and coming home with NIL-PWA.

If this does happen, will the pressure start to escalate on Clough? I know we have only lost 1 in 6 or something, but you can easily flip that on its head after tomorrow if we lose, and say we have only won 2 in 7.

Thoughts?

I remember Ipswich picking up their first win against us about this time of the season when Keane was in charge. Clough then said he was pleased for Keane to get a victory

Wonder if he’ll say the same tonight

These are the sort of games we ought to be winning - and comfortably - if, as usual, our owners expect us to be pushing for a 'top 6 finish'.

Should be yes and we should also be trying to win all our home games, regardless of the opposition in this division

In todays DET

"I left Derby County and people think I walked out but I didn't," said Jewell.

"The owners had told me if they could afford to sack me they would do and I said 'well don't worry about the money, if you've lost faith in me then I'll go'

That wins back a little bit of respect for him to be honest .

Strett, if Forest had any aspirations of being considered to be competitive in the East Midlands, then the team would have mustered more than one shot on goal in the entire game against its near rivals, rather than meekly succumbing, yet again. Not to have done so is humiliating failure and acceptance of inferiority.

I am pleased that you are pleased that we beat you. You must be a very happy man indeed, what with the way Forest have capitulated so readily against us in recent times. Long may your happiness continue.

3 points is all that is up for grabs in any game, and tonight's match against Ipswich is no different. All games pan out in different ways, so saying that any match should be "walked" is nonsense, except when Derby play Forest, where a pedestrian pace is all that is generally required. Obviously, local derbies have an additional importance to fans like us, and to pretend otherwise simply makes people like yourself appear foolish.

But don't let that stop you. I am pleased when you look foolish.

What I think, is that if we win, we will be above Forest, who will then be facing a tricky relegation 6-pointer on Saturday at Barnsley.
