I’m sure I’ve seen Egbo training with the squad in the pictures put out today so I’d guess he’ll be close to getting in the squad. 

Couldnt see him myself... Charlie Kirk looks happy amongst the team though

My mistake, I thought Egbo was no.2

First chance to see the new look team, I just fear its going to be another long season. I'm not really impressed with the players we've brought in to an already bang average L1 squad.

I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised when you see a few of them play.

At least all those who desperately wanted Derby relegated will be justified when we whip them 3-1 and go above them in the table .

I think a midweek game would have helped us. We need to impose ourselves on Derby and I think we need more from CBT and DJ.  I am getting irritated at CBT looking so good and having no end product. This needs to be sorted. DJ has to effect games more and when the ball is on the other wing he has to be a bloody striker.

It was a great run and cross for Jaiyesimi to head wide v. Accy. Should have scored.

No idea what to expect but really looking forward to the game - a sun drenched opener at the valley - beautiful - looks like a good crowd building as well - could be the start of something great or another episode of misery - COYR !!!!!

Sums it up perfectly.
I genuinely can’t call it, but the sun is shining and we’re back at the valley.  I’m sure even the negative types are really looking forward to it deep down!

Deep deep deep deep deep deep down....

2 teams that had to rebuild in the summer. One recruited from League 1 & below, the other from The Championship & above (without spending any money on the process). Who's strategy was the wisest & who will come on top come 5pm. 

Charlton 0 Derby 2. 

I was listening to a Derby perspective last week and they feel that have really struggled to recruit what with havi g a salary cap imposed on them of £18k a week and have had to let players leave because they couldn't offer them competitive new deals. Erm, at what POINT can Charlton, I deed Sandgaard begin to compete with clubs in that position, more over clubs like Accrington.

Sister lives in Derby, so always one I look out for.

2-2. More open football, but defence just can't keep a clean sheet.

Wollacott gonna get himself a back injury from frequently bending to pick the ball out the net
Weather should be OK
All that guff from the club about 'get here early cos it's gonna be busy' gonna look really silly - off the train at 14:39 easy make seat Curbside for K.O.

Look really silly to who, it’s just some harmless advice they give most games I thought.  Probably for the older fans or those with young kids to avoid the rush.

Or have Derby fans bought as many tickets in the home stands as Leeds fans did?
