Who's nervous?

[gully1984]

We have pressure to score which is a good thing in my view. Must put them under pressure straight off and not let the pressure off when we do score.

Strangely I was nervous Thursday, but not about tomorrow. Perhaps the expectation of the first leg had me worrying. And I'd be daft to say I wouldn't be happier if we were a couple of goals up at this stage. But then I'd be terrified we'd set our stall out to defend. Now we have to go forward and maybe they will have to worry. Games like this there's as much goes on in a players head as does in his legs.

This and this,perhaps it was a good thing to have a narrow 1st leg defeat.

 

[Randsta]

As long as they play their best... But yes am nervous

 

[MissGull]

about my presentation on Monday, yeah. The game, no. Just going to go with it, and the deflated feeling on the ride home.

 

[GoldWithFalmer]

I am totally with you on this, 3-0 down after 20 minutes and it will be sh1te however I thought Derby would kick on and kill the tie in the 2nd half but they did not which tells me they are not good enough therefore we should remain confident.

It cannot be over,i just cannot get my head around a team beating us 4 times in a year,i feel now actually that we may just see something tomorrow,call it excited i'm not nervous,i am now excited and cannot wait to see just how we respond.

No not nervous at all...feel similar to how I did for the Forest game
The scenario is similar....and as most people say first goal crucial
Have a sneaky feeling it might go our way
In any case going to be a good day out with the boys....win or lose
It's been a good season

 

[Blackadder]

Nope just going to enjoy the day and what ever happens its been a good season.

I'm with Mark on this.

 

[Mellor 3 Ward 4]

I'm surprisingly un-nervous.

Que sera sera.

That's how I feel too.

 

[doug7126]

I can't sleep either, weather not helping too

 

[bn1&bn3 Albion]

Not nervous at all right now because I have no expectations that we will win. I'm sure when I wake up tomorrow and get ready to leave that will probably change.

I'm pinning my hopes on the idea that it can be quite tricky having a one goal advantage at the start of a home leg. They'd like to kill things off but won't necessarily be as attacking from the start as in a normal home game. Happened to us in the year Swindon so nearly finished us off at Withdean.

Overall, if we're still only a goal behind with half an hour left and give it a go from there, I'll be more than happy.

And anyway the worst thing that happens is another Championship season, which is probably the most entertaining division.

Mmmm... I think we came for a draw and got a win.

At 2-1 what would have been the point of going for more goals and risk conceding at the other end. Brendan Rodgers anyone ?

I think most Derby fans will be nervous about this game, I am.

The Derby team has an average age of 23, many have not played in a game of this magnitude before. So if you were to score first the crowd will get panicky and that will filter through to the players on the pitch, so who knows. Even if we score first but you get the next goal the impetus will be with you and the pressure will be firmly on us. I've seen it before the last time we were in this position in 2007 against Southampton.

It's only half time.

 

[Blue3]

I feel very relaxed but that could be the beer and the fact is 12:30am

 

[Seagull1989]

Im very relaxed! I think a few weeks ago we would have taken to be in this position. Theres nothing to lose now

 

[algie]

Not nervous one bit. Infact i feel empty. The result at home has knocked the stuffing out of me and i'm sorry to say that i'm already thinking about next season in the Championship.

 

[bennibenj]

Up already - couldn't sleep grrrrrrrr

 

[Tarpon]

No. Just hungover. Hopefully the train journey will sort me out.

Find a greasy spoon and smash a dirty breakfast

 

[imissworthing2]

Trying to cling to the smallest bit of optimism but it's not easy. I suppose that it's one thing to have a goal advantage and be favourites to win the tie but that brings pressure in itself: they've won nothing yet and actually have to go out there tonight and finish the job off.

It's like been 6-5 up in the last set and serving for the match.

 

[Finchley Seagull]

I'm not nervous. We've had a great season anyway.

However, this could also be a great away day. Can't help feeling we're due some luck against Derby. They've beaten us by one goal three times this year and every one has been a bit fortunate.
