There have been two games this season Where I was confident that we'd definitely get beaten. That was Derby and Burnley at home. For our trip to Pride Park on Saturday, I just feel we could get something from this. My team to grab a point...
A defeat with 2 of the bottom 3 catching up with us. We stay 21st on goal difference. Mood changes from we're definitely staying up to we're definitely going down.
Yeovil are playing Barnsley. Hoping they'll play out a stalemate.
Millwall home to Blackburn who have only won 1 in their last 6.
Can see Derby being too strong for us, just hoping for a couple of decent results below us and the opportunity to take at least a point at Elland Road on Tuesday when we play one of our games in hand.
Think this is one where we'll lose, hopefully not by many to keep our goal difference superior to those below us.
Can see Millwall winning on Saturday to give themselves a bit of hope though hopefully Jordan Rhodes will have one of his 'on' days. Yeovil-Barnsley could be anything but 2-1 home win is my prediction.
best i can see is 1-1, Derby are playing well and it will be difficult to see anything other than a point at best. Match thread from 2 pm
Thing is Derby aren't playing well as the excellent and well written OP says : - )
One win in six and that was against a Forest team so poor they have not won in 9 and lost at home to Charlton.
Whether County are poor enough to lose to Charlton we shall see but they are on a bad run of form.
Very true. It all depends which Derby side turn up. However harsh the Clough sacking appeared it's proving to be the right decision (I'll never admit the same for Powell / Riga!). He's got them playing some good football, they're in the playoffs and I think they'll go up. I thought they outplayed as at The Valley and we just couldn't handle the forwards.
Having said that, we've improved since then and are hard to be beat...and Millwall have already beaten them at Pride Park just a few weeks ago. I'll be ecstatic with a 0-0.
Like Valley Mcmoist I was utterly convinced that derby would beat us at our place to the point where I had to be talked out of putting money on it by my mate who said I shouldn't bet against my own side. Cheers Bob! And they duly won. However I was not very impressed by them. We were utter gash that day and we are now much better organised. As others have said, derby's stuffing of Forest flatters to deceive given their recent run and is put into perspective by our own victory on Tuesday. Don't get me wrong, I'm not at all confident but I wouldn't be completely surprised if we got something out of this.
We might just frustrate Derby. We are keeping plenty of clean sheets apart from last weekends blip. I don't think Derby are as strong or as good as Burnley so I reckon we wil be good for a draw.

Hi, Derby fan here. I think you're about right there. Burnley and Leicester are undoubtedly better and more ruthless teams than us, as the table shows. I also think that, like Millwall (spit!) you could frustrate us. I expect it to be a tight game.
You shouldn't read too much into recent results though - we've been playing pretty well, dominating possession in most games, but just lost our edge in front of goal (until Forest, ha ha). If we score early, I'd fancy us to go on and win. If you score, or it stays goal-less for a long period, we might struggle to get the result.
Despite what the Ipswich fans were saying after Tuesday's game, we aren't a dirty side - none of their players were injured and they did plenty of kicking, pushing and diving of their own - we play better football than most of the teams in this division and some our play has been a joy to watch.
Shame about Chris Powell, but as that was more an owner's decision than due to fan pressure, I can't hold that against you. I hope you stay up at the expense of Millwall, Barnsley and (please God) Leeds.
Anyhow, if you're making the trip up by train, don't miss a visit to the Brunswick or Alexandra just a few hundred yards from the station for good ale. Enjoy the game, but not too much eh?!
Form has picked up, but it still feels like we try to miss – I know we don’t but it feels like it. So a good cross is needed and it doesn’t happen, a body in the box is needed and it isn’t there, shots against post or too tame or over missing the goal when they should be better. All that sort of thing hasn’t really been sorted yet. Maybe it is a progressive thing and with the confidence we should take from Tuesday, we might start being a bit more incisive. If not, I can’t see us getting anything from the game.

I wonder how scoring two goals feels as well.
Lets hope they are complacent and start slowly and get worse.
After Nottingham, let's not make the mistake of thinking we are any good and try anything fancy.
We are well organised, decent at the back and scrap well and err..that''s it.
Keep it tight, let them get impatient and try and pinch something in the second half.
0-0 if we are lucky.
Can't see the clean sheets this weekend.
Our sheet will be soiled like a brothel's bedding.
Anything from this is a bonus, would be nice to get back to back victories in the league
