Know the opposition

Derby County Football Club, nicknamed The Rams, a tribute to its links with the First Regiment of Derby Militia, which took a ram as its mascot - are a professional football club based in Derby, England; and were founded in 1884, by William Morley as an offshoot of Derbyshire County Cricket Club in an attempt to give players and supporters a winter interest as well as secure the cricket club extra revenue. Derby are notable for being one of the 12 founder members of the Football League in 1888, it is one of only ten clubs to have competed in every season of the English Football league system. Derby's greatest period of success came immediately after the appointment of Brian Clough and Peter Taylor in 1967 - initially with promotion to the First Division in 1969, followed by a fourth place finish in 1970, winning the Football League Championship in 1972, and reaching the semi-finals of the European Cup vs Italian giants Juventus. Derby's fiercest rivals are Nottingham Forest (East Midlands Derby); and they also have minor rivalries with Leeds United and Leicester City. They play their home games at Pride Park Stadium.

I hope someone else is in charge before we play Derby otherwise I can see us getting knocked out.

Raw · Jan 23, 2016

If LVG is still here, we're out.
If he's been sacked, this will go to a replay.

bosnian_red · Jan 23, 2016

What I wish is that Van Gaal gets sacked tomorrow, and then we get a new sense of life in. Sell Fellaini hopefully as well. They're a shite team, we don't need to go super defensive or all cautious. Just a good old 4-4-2 and go for it. Or maybe a 4-4-1-1 with Mata in behind Rooey with Martial wide.

KiD MoYeS · Jan 23, 2016

Was gonna meet up with a few mates after work to watch this in a pub but I think we'll head somewhere without electricity now. Honestly don't want to watch this game, unless the manager is sacked prior to Friday.

Mciahel Goodman · Jan 23, 2016

Hopefully van Gaal is gone by tonight. Can't stomach watching another match with this guy in charge -- he's crap.

dichinero · Jan 23, 2016

Before I'm accused of having an agenda I'll say it now, for the millionth time.
If Fellaini starts we lose.

RoyoftheRavers · Jan 23, 2016

We are marginally better away from home, so I'm hopeful some attacks will result in a few shots on target. Anything beyond that is a bonus.

RedTiger · Jan 23, 2016

It's going to be a difficult game, I think we should set up with 2 DMs and defensive wingers. Hopefully we can take it to a replay (fingers crossed)

This is the best idea.
We need to play for a draw. If can do a smash and grab - great. Otherwise we take it to a replay @ OT and beat them.
We can't rely on OG, penalties and lucky goals, as we have been doing in the last few games.

Let's not forget that Middlesborough beat us when we were in better form, than we are now, so Derby (away) can definitely beat us.

Prediction 1-1.

Coxy · Jan 23, 2016

I live in Derby - there's real belief here that you're for the taking. Derby can play good football - I have to admit I'm siding with the locals...

You guys have lost your aura

iKnowNothing · Jan 23, 2016

Scoring..sigh.. what sorcery is that? I'd be happy if we get 2 shots on target - even a couple of shots like the one Blind took today will suffice

iKnowNothing · Jan 23, 2016

oh that and possession - we must win the possession battle

spwd · Jan 23, 2016

Wun wun

Asger · Jan 23, 2016

I hope to see Memphis, Pereira, Januzaj and Keane getting some minutes.

Scorpy · Jan 23, 2016

Can't wait!

Where are the international breaks when you need them?

I wish they were a year long at this rate.

Red Dreams · Jan 23, 2016

shit. Friday game.

RonaldoVII · Jan 23, 2016

Thank feck this is away from home and I don't have to stump up another £55 to watch utter dross. The only thing this will cost me is a Friday night.

Sigma · Jan 23, 2016

Got 0-0 written all over it.

Red Dreams · Jan 23, 2016

we are losing this match

Shark · Jan 23, 2016

I couldn't be bothered watching this if LVG is still at the helm.

Giant Midget · Jan 24, 2016

Don't really care about who plays or who doesn't.

2-0 Derby County

rednev · Jan 24, 2016

I'm praying for a humiliating defeat. Whatever it takes to get LVG out ASAP so that we can possibly salvage a CL place.

marukomu · Jan 24, 2016

5am start for me. Not watching.

Minimalist · Jan 24, 2016

3-0 Derby. He'll play some more kids I imagine.

Derby far more up for it than us (team can't even be arsed at Old Trafford nevermind away).

Season over.

just wait for the calamaties the fraud inflicts on the team...and the supporters.

Crossie · Jan 24, 2016

1-1. Replay at OT 1-0 by a Rooney pen in the last minute of injury time.

ants7 · Jan 24, 2016

I'd love to watch us playing of friday but not with this form. Have no idea what will happen. Crazy times for the club.

That's what I am predicting.

Asger · Jan 24, 2016

No, all of them deserved to get a chance... Its not like our "star" players are doing something useful at the moment.
