Rams are confident

[Deleted member 18477]

They should be confident. This season they have been a class act!

If they beat us I want them to go and win the final! Don't like QPR and bit bored of seeing Wigan in the prem after recent years - I don't dislike Wigan though.

Shame we didn't get QPR....Wigan and Derby are a bit dull.

Maybe we'll play them in the fin...NO. NO.

I think over confidence is really good because that then puts more pressure on their players because the fans are expecting them to win. This will work in our favour

 

[Doc Lynam]

What ever happens lets just hope footballs the real winner

Both matches against Derby this season we had a lot of injuries, one deflected goal from that public school boy Bamford was the only difference at their place.

 

[LamieRobertson]

Apparently Ulloa is a brute....glad they are confident ..only one way to go from there

 

[martin tyler]

Not surprised really. They battered us at home although that was early on and they were the better side at there patch as well. They seem to struggle more aggressive sides. However this is the playoffs and as we all know anything can happen.

It's a similar scenario to last year, except this time it's reversed. We got palace in the semi final, we had the better team and we blew it. The play-offs are a lottery, form books go out the window, it's all about who can handle the pressure. Hopefully we will have learned a few lessons from last year and be better prepared this time. I'm not worried about Derby at all.

Millwall in 1991 springs to mind

 

[HawkTheSeagull]

They are a good team so its only natural for them to be confident, especially as they are in good form.

BUT we were in the exact frame of mind before the Palace game, and that didnt work out well for the team in form !!

 

[Icy Gull]

Hmm I hope their players under estimate us as much as their fans seem to. I'd say they are bordering on being cocky, do they have much experience of play off pressure?

As for us, what's the old cliche about playing badly but picking up points? The relief in our camp at making the play offs may just result in the players relaxing a bit and playing with a bit more verve than of late. We also have recent experience of where we are now and I'm sure those that played last year may feel they have a point to prove.

 

[DNB_Seagull]

EXACTLY.

On paper they should walk over us. And they probably will.

But let's not make any assumptions just yet

All we need is some drunk derby fan to shit on our floor.
