Derby County 1 - 1 Sheffield Wednesday

Pride Park
Derby

1500
9 March 2019

After the tortuous win on Tuesday which gave such a palpable sense of tension release around PP, is it too much to hope that we can repeat the feat against a Wednesday side?

Rumours abound of the return of Tom Lawrence - but still no Mason Mount or Craig Bryson. Rumours also abound of some malcontents 'close to the club' who are undermining the club and emphasising the negative or is Frank a tad sensitive?

Sheffield Wednesday have been resurgent under their newish boss Steve Bruce having picked 13/21 points. Sam Winnall could be RECALLED (thanks Backo) to the Wednesday side which may grate with some of the Faithful. Steve Bruce has a good record against Derby and always seems to suss us out. However Derby have not lost in 10 home games against the Wendies, not since 2006. Believe it or not we have also only lost one out of our last eight games at PP - Millwall of course.

They'll be a healthy crowd at PP with Sheffield Wednesday bringing up to 3000 - on Tuesday the south stand was relatively vocal (not to be out sung by 288 Wigan fans), wonder if they will out sing the 3000 opposition fans?
