| DERBY COUNTY v BOLTON WANDERERS League 1 # 26 |
| 1500 Pride Park Stadium Saturday 21st January 2023 |
| Something seems to be stirring in the hearts and loins of the Faithful. A stirring of past days, past optimisim - almost a throwback to the 70s with strikes and victories and a resurgence of Fray Bentos pies. |
| 17 games unbeaten but do we still feel reassurance when we watch The Rams play? Do we enjoy it? Or are we just making things difficult for ourselves by letting teams like Cheltenham score? |
| It's looking like a bumper crowd for Saturday - 30,000+ expected against a strong Bolton side who will not lie down and be rolled over. A fairly experienced team that wants, like us, out of this league |
| Big news on the transfer/loan front with Tony Springett joining from Ang's back garden and rumours abounding about Aden Flint - why didnt we sign him 10 years ago when he wanted to come to Derby? |
| You'll have to wait for injury updates - its too early. Suffice to say I will not be available on Friday night as I'm attending another game. |
| Team news:- Wildsmith (GK), Forsyth, Hourihane, Barkhuizen, Bird (C), McGoldrick, Mendez-Laing, Smith, Roberts, Davies, Knight |
| Subs:- Loach (GK), Collins, Thompson, Dobbin, Stearman, Springett, Rooney |
