In the mid 80s when in the 3rd Division we beat 1st Division Leicester over 2 legs in the League Cup. The 2nd leg at Filbert St was amazing, packed away terrace and a Bobby Davison goal to clinch our path into the next round.

I doubt the starting 11 will change unless there’s any injuries. The interesting calls might be on the bench if a few more are available.

In a pub in Derby today and in my seat at Pride Park next Saturday. A win today clinches it for me 👍

If the automatic promotion picture is not settled by then, Sky will show Derby v Carlisle I’m sure.
What about Cambridge v Derby? Has anyone watched a non Sky game in a Derby pub recently?

Cambridge 0-1 Derby, Collins

That 1968/69 tier 2 89 points equivalent from only 42 games was an amazing season, well over 2 points per game average. Decent manager then of course!

The 12 months to February, so the last 2 transfer windows plus any extensions and out of contract players. This would include CBT.

This time of the season is about nerve more than anything else I think. At kick off everyone’s fine, then when we haven’t scored by half time the nerves take affect second half. Fortunately Wycombe didn’t score so we got a point.
Tomorrow we need either to get a first half lead or have the least nervous players on second half.
Two players I think could have an impact tomorrow are Waghorn, who’s done late season heroics before, and Fornah, who I expect will relish the situation given his lack of minutes recently.
Cashin played well, especially going forward, Adams and Nelson were great as usual, Wildsmith made a strong save late doors, few others came out with much credit especially in the second half.
I just hope we score first half! With a lead at half time I can see the players focusing on not conceding much more easily than trying to chase the game. The good news is our home results have picked up recently. I worry about Cambridge away but one game at a time…

Clarke was a centre back on loan from Brighton, good player.

Agreed, Nelson and Cashin for me
-
Potential Championship players for me: Wildsmith, Nyambe, Wilson, Ward, Nelson, Cashin, Rooney, Adams, Mendez-Laing, Blackett-Taylor, Gayle.

I suspect it will be 433 leaving 3 decisions in my view with the same goalkeeper and back 4.
The midfield 3 should be Adams, Smith and either Hourihane or Thompson.
The 2 wide players should be Mendez-Laing and either Ward or Blackett-Taylor.
The centre forward should be either Collins or Washington.
I think Warne will go Hourihane, for his experience, Ward, as potentially better defensively and at crossing, and Collins, as the most likely goal threat. Tough on Blackett-Taylor maybe but he will likely feature as a substitute. Thompson probably didn’t do enough starting at Northampton and Washington probably didn’t do enough starting against Blackpool.
I would take a point right now!

Worst Refereeing decision for and against Derby.

I remember being outraged that Charlie Palmer got sent off at Lincoln in 84/85 for turning round. It was a 0-0 draw and it didn’t cost us anything much, but it was an appalling decision.
The Burnley away (Madley) and Forest home (Atwell) were also appalling and much more vital so these win jointly I think.
I’m a bit young for the 76 cup semi but I understand most, including the RD Derby County story, think that was the most important poor decision in our history, everything was downhill from there to our relegation at the end of the decade.
