It’s all superstitious nonsense…. touch wood.😱

Gypsies were kicked off the land that became the Baseball Ground, A Gypsies curse was put on Derby County that they would never win the FA Cup...3 attempts later 2 in the 1890s and one in 1903 being a 0-6 defeat to Bury and things were looking grim.
Move on to 1946 and those at DCFC seek out a Gypsy, They ask for the curse to be lifted, The resulting curse evaporated with a 4-1 win aet against Charlton Athletic.
Nope I don't believe in curses either  😁
 

I don't believe in curses. I just thought it was odd that no-one has posted it. 
A well-deserved nomination for both of them, imo. 
@HorsforthRam, I know they are just nominations, it says so in the first sentence!

This post should be deleted until full time tonight. It has a whiff of the gypsy curse around it.😁

And so matchday is upon us and despite believing we'll win this game, nagging doubts persist. Hard to know which Wycombe we'll face; will they be at their dogged and determined best, or will they be suffering from a Wembley hangover? Equally, the Rams haven't seemed to prosper coming off a break in recent seasons, or perhaps I'm just imagining that. I do think if we are switched on tonight and with the stakes so high you'd hope we would be, then we ought to have too much for them. 
So how do we see the game playing out? I don't see Wycombe flying out of the gates and off the back of a quick turnaround, there might be some heavy legs out there tonight. Their fans will certainly be up for it and I'd expect a decent showing from them even after their Wembley heartbreak and despite it being a mid-week game. They still see Derby as the devil incarnate and have somehow painted their owner's actions as charitable - yes really! - and inevitably, the recent history will almost certainly ensure a feisty game.
No doubt we'll hear more as the day progresses, but it seems likely Ward will be given more time having picked up a knock, but as @sage has pointed out, we might have Max and Barks back in the fold tonight which would give us plenty of options off the bench. With Joe's niggle likely to keep him out, I'd expect us to line up with CBT and Nate on the flanks and I'd hope that the latter will show up well for a return to his favoured slot. For me, the back 4 pick themselves at the moment, with Nyambe out for the season and Bradley still serving a ban and I'd be worried were we not to start Ebou and Korey in CM. Upfront I'd like to see Washington playing off Collo, given our fairly limited options right now. I think he has a slight pace edge over Waggy, who to my eye, still looks a way off the form we saw from him early season.
I did warn folk about the likely weather for Pompey in the last match thread, but fortunately tonight looks like being a positively balmy 12C and dry, so for the travelling Rams faithful, a rather more pleasant night, results and performance notwithstanding.
For my finger in the air guess, I'm going with a 2-0 win for the Rams, with Nate and Collo on the scoresheet.
Safe journey to all.

That would be a shame as the match is being played at Wycombe 

Eileen Drewery appointed as first team healer for Callum Elder ? 

Limited space on a Padel  court.

I don't care and I don't think it matters. All I want is exhausting extra time and each team kicking lumps out of each other.

A good few clubs sang that song, but the vitriol of the Brum mob really left an impression on me. I'd love to see them suffer what we did, not that it'll happen. I know I should not be so small-minded but I feckin loathe them.

The one we've been using all season?

"You'll take someone's eye out with that"  etc, etc... 

Are you sure it was milkshake?
