Matchday Thread - Derby County vs Plymouth Argyle (03/09 15:00)

These are a good team but haven't been great on the road this season - they were pumped 5-1 at Charlton and lost at Fleetwood. 

I'd go: 

                 Wildsmith 

Knight Stearman Cashin Roberts 

                Bird Hourihane 

        NML    Sibley     Dobbin

                McGoldrick 

I suspect LR will go with Collins again, but maybe he'll have a better chance of scoring when coming on against tired legs. Forsyth on for Roberts again at HT if we're struggling to get forward.

Yes I remember the horrendous journey there for the FACup in the 80s on a really dirty tatty football special train then marched up hill by police then shoved in ground when no room until got to front. Remember as quite scary but I was only young at time so it perhaps wasnt or I was a wuss! Then they beat us with a terrible goal straight from corner in the replay. 

Crikey, you must be nearly as old as me ?. I remember that replay, and going home afterwards wondering whether Derby would ever play another game. A situation very similar to the recent administration. Obviously the club survived and went on to better things. Same again this time, I hope.

Can't recall many meetings.  I do remember we played them in the FA Cup in the late nineties.

Indeed. Circa 10k made the journey to Home Park including me. We were so bad we even had Kenny Burns playing for us then IIRC.
