What kind of reception will people on here give Brayford?

 

It's bound to be an excellent reception. Derby fans (for the most part) are pretty fair when it comes to ex-Rams playing for the opposition (Tyrone Mears excepted, of course).

If Pulis has any sense he'd be hanging on for Newcastle, West Brom or West Ham - or indeed any of the Prem teams who will be sacking their manager in the next couple of months. Did a fantastic job at Palace, I'd be surprised if he wanted to move into the Championship.

There writes an Englishman with no understanding of a Welshman's passion. This is the dream job for Pulis, if only he can put up Chairman Tan.

A really key game. So much of the hard work that we've put in this week will be disappated if we don't get the three points. Win and we're likely into the playoff positions and with momentum building.

 

For promotion we need to be averaging 2 points a game. I measure our distance to that milestone by how many consecutive wins we need to manage to reach that point. Win and we're almost up there, with 15 points from 8 games, and so we're only 1 win away and we can be at 2 points a game after 9 games.

 

Draw and we have 13 points from 8 games, so it would take 3 more consecutive wins to get there (after 11 matches at the earliest).

 

Lose and we've 12 points from 8 games so the run required would be 4 more consecutive wins (to get us there after 12 games at the earliest).

 

We can't rely on going on mega-runs later in the season and can't afford to allow the top teams to get too far away. No taking the foot off the gas...

Yes, because in his long and distinguished career he's never been near the place. Still, you might be right. Of course the fact he's out of work might help.

Reading some of the stuff on here in recent weeks I wish the same could be said when it comes to current Rams playing for us

McClaren says Hughes has a slight groin strain according to Nicholson. Thought he was holding it when he came off.

 

So who plays if he doesn't make it as midfield options are beginning to thin down.

 

Cant see we would play both Eustace and Mascarell at home.

Team against Cardiff:

 

                                                                                   Grant

 

                                      Christie                Keogh                        Whitbread              Forsyth

 

                                                                                 Eustace

 

 

                                                                 Hughes                     Bryson

 

                                                      Ward                                                   Ibe

 

                                                                                 Martin

 

If Hughes isn't fit, replace with Mascarell

 

Whitbread or Buxton, wouldn't mind either way.

 

Ibe has a creative flair and offers a different, more direct attacking option to Dawkins. Think he'll cause Cala problems down that side.

You ever heard of Jamie Ward, pal?
