Just seen the U23 goals,  Watson looks ready.  We need a passer of the ball in midfield.  Are we shielding any championship exposure to hold on to him for league 1?

Time to take the Plange? Williams too maybe. 

Glad it's not just me then!! 
I usually find it's the first near miss, I either wince or get that tingle of excitement, then I know who I want to win!! 

Maybe walk down there with you BUT they play in red ffs

Weird innit, when watching premiership games, when I couldn’t care less at kick off who wins, gets decided at some point.  It’s usually if I think a decision I don’t agreed with, or players that quite obviously cheat and the commentator tries to convince us it’s a foul because a player taps a guy on the shoulder and he goes down.  Sometimes it’s the colour of the kit ?.
But you’re right, it’s almost impossible ( fo me) to watch a match without routing for one of the teams.

I find that I can't be unbiased in football , even in random games between teams I have no affiliation for, and I don't always know who I'm supporting until there is a chance or a goal, then my reaction tells me who I want to win, sometimes it surprises me!! ??
But I might be a bit strange!!! 

Think everyone on here is in the same boat.  I remember being asked this by  a mate at work who follows Notts County ( we bonded with our shared hatred of Florist) when they looked like dropping out. Like I said, I’d go to Mickleover Sports just to watch some football, but it wouldn’t be the same as supporting them.  There’s a bar and a Burger van and the standard is quite good.  Still, let’s not give up hope.

Hope as many of you can make the trip Bristol on 4th december
Although I understand that 1,700 odd tickets have been sold in advance and there will be no pay on the day(AND THIS WILL NOT BE CHANGED)
Just been checking the Derby county away following in 2017/18 season and it was 1,512
Match day programmes will be on line only and I am lead to understand they will be FREE to look at on line for match day ticket holders
Parking is normally in the streets around the area as long as you are there by 1pm please don't block drive ways or park on corners.
COMING BY ROAD
Head to avonmouth junction 18 on the M5 and follow the route A4 Bristol Airport along what is known as the Portway under the Clifton suspension bridge and the ground will appear in the distance
It looks the long way round,but its quicker than trying to fight your way through the streets of central Bristol
TRAINS
If you are coming down by train,an appeal to purchase the tickets to PARSON STREET station.Its the same price and it gives us(Bristol City) ammunition to get better facilities for the official train station for Ashton gate until we get a new train station opened nearer to ashton gate
Train time are XX:27 past the hour which takes you two thirds of the way to the ground and then walk the rest of the way ,although there is a 13:56 departure from Parson Street which is good arrival time for the train from the North of England at 13:40pm
On the return its a good time from Parson Street at 17:25pm
On your way to the ground we have our statue of John Atyeo in the home section at the Winterstoke Road end
Casualty and Holby City were filmed in the City don't ask me about either of the programmes cos I think their both rubbish
The young ones was also filmed in the BS7 area of the City(actually its Bishopston)
Finally the block of flats on the left behind the dolman stand side as you are in the away end is "the" block of flats in "fools and horses"
Bring your camera and turn up early if you want to take any photo's
Pubs possibly best one are in the cumberland road basin area novia scotia pump house and the cottage.
suggest park your car and then walk to the ground.
Harbourside area of the central area is very good
BBC Radio station is radio Bristol which has frequencies and 94:9 and DAB (and 95:5 up till 3pm),
with full match day commentary on BBC radio Bristol which should be on 94:9(if not it will be on Bristol DAB
Bristol seems have become the English Hollywood with recent dramas filmed in the City being
The outlaws Showtrial, The Girl Before and Chloe and The Long Call
Please circulate to other football sites you deem necessary
If you need any further info ask away and I don't bite

Marshall
Byrne Jagielka Davies Williams 
      Shinnie Bird Thompson
Ebosele.  Lawrence. Knight
I'm well aware Marshall won't play but I physically cannot take much more of Kelle Roos.
Forsyth. Not going to be too critical. Great servant, given us everything. I just think his legs have gone. Struggles massively. Nothing to lose with giving Williams a run.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
           
 
 

Not fully sure what the protocol is, but noticed no one else started a new matchday thread after the QPR loss. So I thought I'd start my first one and see if I can be a lucky charm.
I hope I can go on a long run creating these threads, starting with a trip down to Bristol to play the City's second team.
3pm on Saturday (a kick off time that should please all the ones who moan about matches getting moved for the telly).
Will Lawrence continue his fine form? Will that guy who knows more about Derby's accounting policy than anyone else in the entire world be fizzing by full time? Will we still be in with a shout of survival at 5pm on Saturday?
COYR.

Just scored 3 against Arsenal u23’s

I think it shows what giving your manager a chance can achieve. Good friends with a QPR fan who was critical of his every move and wanted him gone until very recently.  

Just got back so not read the thread.  Flounced at a top level all the way back to the car.  We should’ve had a point out of that really.  Two pretty avoidable goals as per usual.
Obvious candidates for the mistakes leading to their goals, but was more peeved at Morrison being played where he was, with none of the rotation we’ve seen.  He was/is so ineffective there, no real press, no runs, never dropped into a pocket of space to show for the ball.  That can’t be all down to him.  He must’ve been following instructions?!
One more gripe as I’m boring myself now, Jozwiak.  Didn’t win one ball, didn’t look remotely interested in winning one.  The players that are still fighting looked dead on their feet second half and should be applauded for their efforts, carrying the weight of the teams predicament on their shoulders is weighing heavy on their legs.  
I think the lesson to be learned here is to not start typing away as soon as you get home without thinking about it first, only to realise how tired you are and just trail off into the ………….
 
 
COYR!!!
 
 

If you can only play one 60 minute player, I would rather it was Ebosele. 60 minutes of him from kick off would have seen a much better contribution.

Pretty much my match report. Fair result. Good first half hour but ran out of steam. Shinnie was knackered. Fozzy didn’t have a great game but their No 37 was skilled and powerful. He was up against it. Tommo looked excellent again, Knight had a good game as did Byrne, great pass (was it Bird or Shinnie ? ) and cracking finish from the skipper,  but in the end the better team won. Lovely fluid front 3 
 
I would have been delighted with 3 points from the last 3 games. We got 4 and have played with big hearts in every game.
We move on to the next one.

I think Shinnie and Knight were both done. They’ve put in so much work over the last run of games, so it’s hard to complain 

Seems to have a thing about Derby . Remember him sticking two fingers up at the family stand when he scored for Burnley.  Or perhaps he's jut a twit everywhere. He seems to regularly have the Malone haircut, must go with the personality.  Hopefully gets a fist full of goalie glove in the mush at one of these many corners. Bell cheese.

I think he was just about level 

Looked onside

Just onside

Yes it was imo.  And yes what a banker. 

Morrison looking a spare at a wedding atm. What’s he so high up for? He’s not pressing, not making runs? Needs to come off or change formation
