A potential banana skin or a chance to be expansive, creative and play with abandon .
After Saturday's palpably disappointing performance (I wasn't there ), this may be a chance to play our fringe players - Will Hughes, Chris Martin - to give them game time and maybe look to getting them coming on regularly by Christmas.
Is the EFL the old League/Rumbelows/Milk/Coca-Cola cup? I think we should be told .
Tonight, as I have said - and I am struggling to think of stuff 'cos I didn't see Saturday's game which to all accounts was a good point gained (?) but there is a feeling of pessimism and also a negativity towards BJ which I cannot condone. He wears the famous black and white. That's it.
Team news, when it appears ( I will be 28,000 feet somewhere over Albania )

There is a similar rule at Church Stretton Golf Club, high in the South Shropshire hills, except it's sheep not bears that the rule applies to. However, there is more chance of the golfer interfering with the sheep than vice versa on that particular course.

Forestieri not even on the bench tonight for Wednesday. Maybe he is about to be transferred?

I thought we were very poor.A strong Derby team should have dispatched the all but part timers to the bin.
I'm slightly worried - we look sh&te and I don't think NP knows his best team.
Mid table mediocrity - that's the Derby way...isn't it?

Actually,I could have done an ' in depth report' on the game....it was that rubbish, I really couldn't be bothered.
I actually enjoyed the psychophantic ' love in' rolled out in this thread .
Actually,no I didn't - but we were garbage.

agree 100% ruberyram.in the first half they matched us and we were no better than a new league two team,on paper we should have buried them.in the first half it was hard to see who was a championship team never mind a team just promoted into the football league.second half marginally better after the subs.but after watching two games and seeing the same as last season I think it will need a root and branch players change.not impressed by the struggle against a lowly team like Grimsby.i hope its not a sign of things to come.

What is psycophantic? A bootlicker with murderous intentions?
