Think we might get a bit of a roasting today but never mind. It's a "home" game for me. Had a lie-in and setting off for the match about 1pm. .....unheard of luxury! :lolol:

Trains messed up & natural road route is closed due to roadworks. Perhaps the supreme being is telling us to stay away so we don't see the drubbing we're going to get? Also, this thread was started too late. Were loose.

A local one for me too. Derby have had a good run but mostly against mid / low table teams. They have struggled more against Wigan and if course Leicester. A point would be excellent.

Tough game which if we win will not only be a big statement but will also make me feel we can really secure a play off spot. I'm going 1-1 with them scoring first.

On the way to the airport and will be flying to Poland all the way through the match. First game I've missed in ages but a win today would really establish us as play off candidates. Up the Albion !!!!!

Depends on how Derby respond to last weeks thrashing, lets not forget they have lost three in a row now and we would be disappointed to lose at home to Wigan. I can't call it so i'm going for 2-2 :(

Will be very happy with a point. If we take three I shall really start to believe that we are proper contenders.
