🐏 Derby County 🐑 2-0 🌲 Nottingham Forest 🌳

1315
Pride Park
Sunday 15 Oct

So, here we go again. Once more into the breech etc etc. Against possibly the most pointless team that we have the embarrassment to call rivals.

Welcome back to the Faithful from the swamps of Southern USA, to the plains of Spain and the revolutionary Catalanian region, the hospitals of Shrewsbury, to the flats of East Anglia, the car park called Sligo, the naval fortress of England, the stink of the petrol engine in Scandinavia, the far flung reaches of auk territory in Scotland, the dour Yorkshire hinterlands, the wastelands of Liverpool, the Lowry influenced Manchester, the Legoland of Oakwood, Allestree Park in well......Allestree, the Deliverance areas of Ambergate, the crack dens in Spondon, the New Bridge Inn in Shelton Lock, the traveller camp in Shardlow, the crowded Chellaston, the delectable Chaddesden and the outer reaches of Borrowash......😎 the pecs and lumberjackingoff in Canada 👍

And here's to 🍺🍻🍺 absent friends who we miss ....miss their postings, statements, utterings and opinions

Florest are a team in transition, allegedly and this must be the first time in a long time that we have gone into,this match below them. I honestly don't know what goes on, on the Dark Side of the 52 but I do know that, and yes, I will reiterate this, some of the most unpleasant fans you could meet when playing at the 5hitty Ground. Well, some of them, not all which means most of them . Oh, yes, I do know that they will be promoted this year.

They are also ecstatic and delirious about their new gates.

Derby can flatter to deceive - occasionally - and it is difficult to say what is our best formation, in-form players or potential,heroes. We are transisting and we may need to be patient.

BJ is suspended - idiot - so any robust enforcer role is up for grabs. Huddz/Ledley? Also there was a thought of both Martin and Nugent up front.

There is a small gathering of the Faithful in the TSL before the game which will be nice. Hopefully see you there 😀

Ok, let the banter begin, keep it polite and nice.

Team news, hopefully from an exile as I will be in the TSL 😘
