Burton Albion v Derby County

[David]

Time to say cheerio to the Pirelli Stadium and Burton, 3pm Saturday. 

Burton are having a mini injury crisis, number of players possibly out. Bent of course is ineligible.

Hull have just been and hit them for 5, not won at home since September and chances of survival are extremely slim, we have what could be the final nail, needs to be hammered. 

Sheff Utd v Millwall and Boro v Bristol City the other games to keep an eye on.

Boro the only side that could potentially knock us out the top 6. Couple of draws in these games would be very handy.

Surely this is a game we can win....they are really on their arses at the moment.

However....Nigel will know our considerable weaknesses and at the very worst will seek to nullify us to get a draw out of it and that's not an unrealistic outcome.

Can't wait to watch us sit deep, play 2 holding midfielders and wait to counter attack a team that's rock bottom!

Is there anyway on this planet that we could perhaps start that Palmer chap and go for the jugular from the off?

[RiddingsRam]

Not just after last night's awful performance but thinking about it for a while we need to switch to 3 at the back. 

                                 Carson 

        Wisdom.        Pearce.    Davies 

Anya.    Huddlestone.  Ledley.  Johnson/Forsyth

                Palmer              Lawrence 

                              Vydra 

                            

[Philmycock]

You just know we’ll get beat here! Any decent pubs between train station and ground?

[Parsnip]

Please win this Derby. I'll be very upset if we don't win this. 0-1 will be fine. It'll be ridiculous, but fine.

Wish I was going. Even with all the recent flummoxing about, we should win this 3-0 at least.

[Ramant62]

Recent history suggests that Burton will be no pushover. We've won 1-0 and lost 1-0 with a 0-0 in between. It would not surprise me in the slightest if they beat us, or we scraped an undeserved 1-0 win. 

[cannable]

Loss all over this. We’ll beat Cardiff and Boro though.

[Van der MoodHoover]

Now that our mini revival has come to an end, wonder if there will changes to the team. We should win even with our inconsistent form and somewhat dour style. But if we turn up, expect to tap it around and come away with as 3-0 then we could easily come unstuck.

[PodgeyRam]

I can see a banana skin here and I'm not just referring to the colour of their shirts when I say that. 

I wonder if a loss here would tip Mel over the edge?

[Millenniumram]

Can we please, pretty please, try and attack? 

[ViewsFromTheMiddle]

In the Dave Mackay for this. £15 with carvery included, what am I thinking?

Prepare to be disappointed, the players will likely be getting a better roast on here after the game

Would love something like this but with Huddlestone in the centre of the back three. 3-4-3 but will never happen.

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooo

[EnigmaRam]

There's no way burton without there star ex England striker Darren Bent who's ineligible to play.

£15 for a roast. Try the Brunswick, there’s no shortage of fellas who will do it for a fiver in there.
