Not worth being on here during the game. Too many depressives

Lost for words at that lineup.

What is it?

I'm predicting something record breaking tonight, it might be an unwanted record.

Message to the players:-

Even if Cardiff score first it doesn't mean we've lost.

We just need one more goal than them by th final whistle.

Don't rely on an injury time penalty to save a bit of pride.

COYR!

Looks to me like he’s holding out for a draw to get us back top 6.

A gamble yes, stupid is perhaps a bit strong.  Ryan Bertrand made his debut in a Champions League final. I wasn’t really recommending it, just hoping for something to surprise me by being different, unpredictable, exciting... adjectives that I haven’t been able to use about Derby for quite a while now.

Ryan Bertrand also had Ashley Cole holding has hand and was already fairly experienced through a few loans. 

I’m with you on the idea of bringing a few kids in, I just think it’ll be next season not this one. 3 games minimum left, doubt we’ll get lots of surprises.

Hoping against hope that this works.

Reserving judgement until after the game.

I think even a win won’t ease my mind ,,, it is a totally bizarre team selection ,, unless rowett was to come out and openly say that he has players who are not putting it in and are causing a split so will be sold as soon as then there is no rhyme or reason

[RadioactiveWaste]

it could be worse.

We've yet to realise Jerome is going to be playing CDM as well.

He’s doing it on purpose we’ll be 1-0 down at half time Cardiff will think their set for top 2 then he’ll make a double change Palmer and vydra on and we’ll go on to win 3-1 he has a plan  

Yes just keeping them fresh

Johnson isnt a holding midfielder.

We all know what he isn’t, it’s what he is I struggle with 

[JuanFloEvraTheCocu'sNesta]

I think Rowett is expecting Cardiff to be very physical and try to bully us, so he has put all of our bigger boys on in response.

Just stating a fact. Johnson is more offensive than defensive. 

No doubt picked to try and link up with the forward line. As you say might not happen.

Forsyth is a left back, they will play where the manager picks them, Johnson will as he did on Saturday play as a DM

I think Gary must have watched Breaking Bad during this season and took a likening to Crystal Meth.

Finally sussed his antics.

From what I can gather if we lose there will be a lot of 'i told you so' if we win it will be 'pah didn't deserve to, was just blind luck'

I can see through Rowett's 'plan' - he's trying to prove that the acquisition of Jerome was inspired. Odds on a 3-0 win with a hat-trick for Jerome? 

I'll settle for 3 shots on target in 90minutes 

[Rample]

Where the bloody hell has Thomas gone?

[jake the ram]

what a team lol

If they all go in great.

[King Kevin]

Even if we win tonight it won't be pretty and I can't watch such a negative team.
