Derby County vs Fulham

[Bwash_Ram]

Sky Bet Championship

Pride Park Stadium

Saturday 3rd March

Kick-Off: 3pm

 

Fulham are arguably the best team in the league right now, and we are looking dodgy at the back, so on paper we should get

given an extra orifice. But football is a funny game and we might see a reaction or a change of system / tactics/players, who knows, but whatever itll be an evenful afternoon.

I have a feeling we’ll regain some composure for this one. We might not win, but hopefully we can address the recent shortcomings and remain solid for the rest of the season.

If we can stand on Cairney and sessegnon we'll have a chance I'm hoping Rowett does his homework and has a plan to stifle them because at the minute Fulham are the in form team.

Can’t help but feel like we’re going to get tonked...

If we stop those pair there’s still their full-backs eviscerating us and Stefan Johansen’s runs from deep to worry about… 

[Sparkle]

Hopefully we play better against a better side because against sheff Wednesday Leeds and Reading we were very poor but you have to expect thier wide players to get in behind us but if they don’t then game on and also if they have watched us against five in the middle then we may never hardly touch the ball but that doesn’t mean we won’t win just very frustrating 

[Mistaram]

Recorded their Wolves match watched it last night Wow they are good its not just Cairney in midfield Johansen's very good The two fastest fullbacks in the league Mitrevic lead the line really well bullied the Wolves defenders Yes were in for a tough game we won't be seeing much of the ball but were used to that Clearly the best team in the league at the moment Having said that they struggled for a draw at Bolton recently 

[Stripperg-ram]

At a time when we could really do with a win, I’d take a draw from this one now.

The most important thing is that we regain the defensive integrity we had at the back end of last year.

If we are to face these guys in the play offs (which is a big possibility) then we should not get our arses handed to us on a plate in games like this.

We need to send out a message. 

February is over. 

The Rams mean business.

 

[Jimbo Ram]

Agree, I expect to get beat but I did when they visited last season and we played very well and scored 4!!

[Carnero]

All this low level of expectation should suit us down to the ground.

Sit deep, 20% possession, undeserved 3-0 win... luvvly jubbly.

[SKRam]

Extra F added ..... FFFS 

[Parsnip]

I don't care how it's done but i want to see Matty Vydra, Tom Lawrence & Kasey Palmer all start the game together. These three are key.

[Rev]

Looking forward to this one.

They'll come out all swagger and confidence, then sit in the dressing room afterwards wondering how they lost 3-0, from our only 3 shots on target.

[Boycie]

Well, when you see other teams forums all expecting Derby to come and beat their own team it always seems to end up with us losing.

So,

Fulham to win, we’ve got no chance.

[Woodley Ram]

Worried about this one, although at the moment it would ( given Fulham’s form) not be a total surprise if we lost...... so on that basis I will go for a cheeky 2-1 to the Rams ? 

[Inverurie Ram]

Fulham up according to the spivs..........coming from their bottoms like....and all the rest with their poor taste in beer...and footie!

Tough game, they will no doubt target Forsyth/ ollson with Fredricks. I Expect to see him bombing on countless times Saturday, I struggle to see how we can stop it. I would just attack them and see what happens, press them as much as we can. Fulhams do struggle when they are pressed high, their defence doesn't like it, as we saw at pride park last season.

Coming up for this one and looking forward to seeing for myself what we're really made of. The last two scorelines have been McClaren/Wassall-esque, but I do hope/believe the performances have been better. Football really is about small margins and if either of Cameron Jerome's efforts had gone in on Saturday we'd all have been buzzing for this.

I want a steady win where they never really make it into our box and we're once-again lethal at the other end. The defence needs shoring up. With Baird suspended Wisdom comes in on the right and needs to start playing out of his skin so he keeps his place for the run-in. Keogh and Davies need reminding in no uncertain terms that if they don't do their jobs then Pearce comes in for the next game. And Forsyth must come back at left-back. He is a brilliant fullback when confident and when the crowd isn't on his case, so don't get on his case.

I really hope Vyds has shaken off his knock. I'd like to see George come back in, but acknowledge he won't go straight back into the starting lineup without a game where he comes off the bench first.

Come on you Rams!

 

[Shipley Ram]

I've been increasingly nervous with the poor run, but I sudderly feel fine. It's like I've taken the pain on second place dissapearing and have let that hope go, hopefully the players feel similarly relaxed. So although they're in great form and should be favorates unexpected victory to us.

Its Fulham not Barcelona..no reason at all why we should not be winning this.
