KO at 20h GMT (15h Eastern).
Team News:
Doubtful: Ooijer (hamstring)
Possible: Reid (calf strain)
Probable: Rocky (extensive bruising - in treatment), Dunny (various minor injuries)
Note: Samba is -- at the time of writing this (Monday evening) -- still awaiting the birth of his first child, somewhere in Manchester.
I am doubting that Sav will be playing, since he is still very much linked to a transfer to Sunderland. Nice little deal for us, if true -- we should be getting 2mil pounds for him!!! Not too shabby after all of his injuries and form.
Currently, we are in 9th position, with 30 points, and the clubs above us are nearby in points. Sunderland in 17th position, with 17 points -- eerie!! Anyone else feeling lucky? :p ??

I'm hoping that the last win will give us some confidence. On paper we should be able to get a win here, but I keep thinking back to that Wigan match (shudder)...prior to that game Wigan had never scored on us. OK sorry for bringing up that painful memory.

I'm driving up with my mate, a Sunderland fan tonight. So we'd better win or I've got to listen to him going on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on all the way back to Derby.

Good to see that Samba is back. Congratulations to him on the birth of his son. And to his wife as well - I can't imagine that giving birth to the offspring of Christopher Samba would be an easy thing to do :D

I have one that gets you to the right game, but it's unwatchable and not in English.

@22 the score is zero all. I've watched ~ five minutes and it looks a boring match so far.

Is this as boring to watch as it is on ESPN Gamecast?

Much more boring... whoever found the first half footage shorts to show during half time deserves a raise.

Seems like the second half is better, if not more exciting. I'd like one more to put this away, 2-0.

Believe me -- it wasn't. An embarrassment for everyone on the pitch today. Our lads truly can not be bothered to put in a reasonable performance these days.

Great... We need this next game at Bolton as well. Maybe we'll get some confidence beating up on the dregs.

I just got home from the match, all I have to say is that that was one of the worst games I've ever seen, and it was bloody freezing!
Their penalty wasn't a penalty, ours, I just didn't see, it was up the other end.Everyone said hand ball.I could have saved their pen, it was that bad!!
Ah well, upward and onward, lets hope we have gained confidence from this recent good run of results!
