I don't know when the draw is but Derby will be at home and against one of seven possible opponents:

Port Vale, Fleetwood, Stockport, Barnsley, Burton, Liverpool U21's, Forest U21's.

"The draw for the Bristol Street Motors Trophy will take place on Friday night on Sky Sports News at 6.30pm during the build-up to the Championship match between Rotherham United and Leeds United"

109. Let's get back to a victory. Year, opponents and memories. 5-2 home win, goals not necessarily in the correct order.

January 1986, arrived in Sheffield a little worst for wear our designated driver parked in St marys church car park within a stones throw of the away end.

Managed to get into the ground just as the match kicked off, rare for those days some of our crew has seat tickets, others had standing tickets, i had aquired a seat ticket, the away end was in full song c8000 Derby fans chanting Arthur Cox's Black and White army the noise was near on deafening. The match progressed the Rams were playing better than their oppositon a full division above them.

The Blades breakaway with 10 minutes or so and the now Roy Hodgson sidekick, Ray Lewington places a scruffy shot past Mark Wallington into the goal. The 8000 are silenced briefly, the flag goes up for offside and it is disallowed, Cacophony in the away end is resumed with a greater volume than before the annulment. 

A furher 10-15 minutes go by, Derby are still in the ascendency, we get a corner, it is swung over by Jeff Chandler?, Captain Marvel rises a above the United defence and buries his header into the back of the net.

Derby fans are in raptures, the match sort of peters out with Derby holding the Blades quite comfortably, the final whistle blows and the super rams are in the Fifth Round.

Coming out of the ground the atmosphere is a little hostile with the natives unhappy that their own (obviously offside) goal was disallowed and the FA cup adventures curtailed for another year.

We embark in our vehicle to head back into the God's county and decide to have a few refreshment stops on the way home, much singing and dancing in Chesterfield, Clay Cross, Shirland, Ofton and Marehay.

i get dropped off at home c 8pm, it is cold evening and the frost is spreading it's silvery sparkly fingers over the lawn and driveway around the house.

i suddenly click that i  was supposed to be taking my new very attractive girlfriend out for the night, i had forgot completely with the euphoria of victory celebrations and the intense alcholic haze.

I smelt strongly of man sweat and stale bitter etc. so i had 30 minutes to run a bath and make myself presentable for the said young lady who was to arrive in our Taxi at 8.30pm and then onto Derby for a night of Dancing and more alcohol.

Got in the bath and the next thing i know i wake up with a cold shock, it is pitch black and the water of my once steaming bath is tepid.

With pounding head i get gingerly out and start to dry myself and get myself warm.

i look at the clock it is 3am, suddenly in blind panic i realise that i had a date 6 hours plus before.

i search the house vainly expecting the said young lady to be there instead i find the inevitable Dear John letter on the mantlepiece.

 

 

 

 

Wow what a day? Hope it was worth losing your bird over!

I saw Embrace play the first album at the Halifax Piece Hall a few months ago - really good gig. I've seen them a few times including at the Venue in Derby in front of 500 people.

Have a listen to Colin Murray's Midnight Meets Podcast, both Rick Witter and Danny McNamara have been on recently.

I've seen them almost 30 times and have a tattoo of their logo on my arm. Great band indeed.

104. Year, opponents and memories. 1-1 draw but 14-13 win on penalties.. 

Anyone else at Shine this weekend?

Guessing 2004-2005 vs Brighton I think, because of Idiakez and Taylor in the starting 11.

Really loved that era of Rasiak and Idiakez.

must say I think Marco Reich was massively under rated IMHO

2004 yes but not Brighton.

That was definitely the all-time low. As bad as things are at the moment at least we're not playing Kenny Burns in the starting XI.

He’d have bossed our midfield last night

In fairness, your broader point stands, we're at and all time low position.

Baffling result. With that line up, I really did not see that coming.

Is that the Crewe fans singing or Derby fans to Warne?

Are there any Derby fans left in the stadium?

One step forward, two steps back.
