After the Lord Mayors Show which wasn't really a show but a football match against the Dogs, we entertain the beneficiaries of many Derby County players over the years including Stephen Pearson and ......others.....
Tom Lawrence is too injured to play - after what was arguably a decent game against Florest and we eagerly await his replacement. Waghorn anyone, if he is off the naughty step? BJ is on a very naughty step and won't be there.
Lee Johnson ex Derby player brings his team to PP on a four match unbeaten run, confidence is running high and I would say they fancy their chances.
Derby have failed to score in two of their last three home games and eyebrows are being raised as Derby fans despair about where the next goal is coming from. It used to be Harry Wilson who scored four in five games but he now seems to on a sabbatical having not scored in the last two .
Lots of questions to ponder like will all those fans there on Monday be there on Saturday? Will the South Stand sing? Will Frankie start the bounce? Will the imitation of Bristol accents be uncannily like those of Norwich?
*RAISING THE BAR*
Does a person's name influence the person they become?
Derby County 1 - 1 Bristol City

I was thinking during the game that the only way Bristol will score is from a set piece or a defensive error. Keogh then obliged. We then proceeded to pass to their players in dangerous positions on several occasions.
We really need to become a bit cuter in front of goal. We dominated for long periods against Forest and Bristol but couldn't work out how to score. Norwich who aren't all that good keep piling up the points while we keep throwing them away.

Irrespective of his goals today, a Dwight Gayle type of player is what we're missing up front. A midfielder with a little more creativity than Mount / Wilson can offer as an alternative option.
I was hoping Dutch dude would have a great game and stake his place in the side but doesn't seem to be working for him at present.
Needed to win today but can say not lost in four.

Wilson moved forward with purpose today but he was the only one, the rest were content just to shift it around. I get what Lampard is saying when he talks about moving the ball but firstly it needs to be sharper and secondly at some point a player needs to try something that might result in a goal. Our best performances have been when our play has been very quick and incisive rather than the patient probing. No risk no reward.

When Derby fans are singing against one another...as stands...then the end aint far away. Absolute joke!! I sense Lampard is getting frustrated with the fans and im not surprised. Players are getting stick on Twitter for being 5th. I despair.

There are some dim people who follow Derby, but WTF is this bell on about? "Barring any injuries I expect Karanka to field the same side as inflicted a moral defeat on Derby last Monday."

Give you 3 guesses, Backo. Should be enough, cos there's only 3 of them that post in the Forest board these days.
You'll probably have a good idea where to start as well
