Mr. P Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 We never get sod all at Leicester, they always seem more up for it for some reason. And no doubt they'll get a couple of penalties. Haven't they had about 10 this season? Nugent will score no doubt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L_J_DCFC Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 Everyone remember the horror show that was James O'Connor at left back last season. The worst performance from a player in a Rams shirt for a while Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwram1973 Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 We do usually start well and score early. Once we've scored our first though we miss a hatful of chances Thats been our biggest problem playing you over the years, you come out flying and usually get some early goals. The games where we have weathered the early storms are the ones we go on to get something out of. Steve needs to make the lads aware of how Leic come out. Still can't see us winning though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ambitious Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 Looking at the statistics, looking at the statistics there isn't much between the two sides at all. Overall Possession - we have 54.6 and they have 52.1 (this is understated, but actually quite a large difference) Shots - they have 16.3 and we have 14 pointing to us being more clincal, but them more likely to get a chance. However, there is very little between shots on target, with Leicester only having 6 more than us over the season. Shot Zones - very similar, they have 40% outside the box, 56% in the 18 and 4% in the 6. We have 42% outside the box, 53% insid and 5% in the 6. Passing style - again very similar, they have 341 short, 67 long, 1 through ball and 22 crosses pg. We have 382 short, 68 long, 1 through ball and 23 crosses pg. We have the much superior pass accuracy and made nearly 2000 more passes this season. Goal types - it shows that we're the far superior from open play, as we are to every side in the division. They've scored 26 goals from open play, to our 36. They've scored 2 counter attacks, to our 0. We've scored 8 set-pieces to their 3 but we've only scored 4 penalties to their 8. Both sides play more in the oppositions half than their own. We attack more down our left, they attack more down their right (could be a key battle) We're the most fouled team in the division, whereas Leicester are the least fouled team. 149 fouls being the difference. Both sides are in the bottom 6 for offside count (forest are top) Defensively, this is going to shock a few people... we're comfortably better (despite the goal difference) We've conceded less shots on goal, we;ve put in more tackles and more interceptions.. although, we have made more fouls. Leicester at home. 55.8% possession. 18.8 shots per game with 5.8 on target. 3924/4966 passes accurate (79%) 13 goals from open play, 1 counter attack, 1 set piece and 6 penalties (2 own goals) 22 crosses, 1 through ball, 76 long balls and 348 short passes. 11.3 shots con, 12.9 tackles, 9 interceptions and 10.9 fouls Derby Away 49.8% possession 12.3 shots per game. 3796/4885 passes accurate (77.7%) 19 goals from open play, 0 counters, 5 set pieces and 1 penalty 23 crosses, 1 through ball, 81 long balls and 421 short passes. 15.8 shots con, 12.9 tackles, 12.1 interceptions and 9.8 fouls. Very little between the two sides, ironically, our home form is almost superior to theirs in every single way. Obviously the results don't back that, but in every other aspect of the game we're doing much better. Looks like it could be a very entertaining game (on paper) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rams-R-us Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 Sadly see nothing but a home win. I think this season could be 1 too early for our promotion win. But I've been wrong many times before so why not hey!? Festa 1- 2 Derby FGS Dawkins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott129 Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 Night before the game and, surprise surprise, Twitter is rife with those "Forest are our real rivals, not you Leicester" tweets. Honestly, what is the point? If it doesn't mean anything to you, why spend time so vigorously denying it? Absolutely pointless and slightly contradictory, if anything. For me, it's a rivalry. Or, at the very least, a grudge match. Horrible club, horrible fans and a horrible place to boot. I would love nothing more than to absolutely stuff them tomorrow night.
