An eagerly awaited fixture for many. Nottingham and Derby only 15 miles apart. The supporters rate this derby as importantly than those more publicised local arguments in Manchester, London and Merseyside. Derby in good form, winning the last 5 games. It'll be tight, but wouldn't be surprised with a bit of drama - penalties, sending-offs, early goals and all that type of thing. Form goes out the window for these matches. I'll take another fucking clean sheet and a point. If we don't score, we don't fucking score. But we're dangerous on the break and we've got a bit of quality. Hopefully Lolley is alright and Sow finally comes in. Can't allow Rooney to dictate. Get bodies around him at all times. Don't be giving away silly free-kicks for Rooney to have a go. Derby were 17th when he arrived, now they're in 7th position. The prick has certainly made a massive difference. On a positive note, well positive on paper anyway, they have a very tough run-in. Enough about the Sheep, let them worry about us. We're no fucking soft touch. We're one of the best away sides in the division. Good back five, Watson, Sow, Silva, Ameobi, Lolley and Grabban. We've got some decent players ourselves. We're not 4th in the table for no reason. It would be great to win, but I'd settle with a point in niggly, bitty game so I'm predicting a 0-0 stalemate.
