It worries me, this one. I think, because we all know what an ongoing basket-case Derby are off the pitch, that many are assuming this is a given Stoke win. However, they're 16th with a form of WDDLD which means they're not a pushover. I mean, on paper we should be able to go there and get a win but, as they say, football's not played on paper. Looking at that current form, it would be fair to say that they are the ultimate shut up shop outfit, something that we have been notoriously bad at breaking down.

Rooney on Stoke Rooney: "I think the Stoke will be the best team we have come up against so far this season, I think they have made some very good signings. We know we will have to be at our best to beat them."

Never ceases to amaze me how many people talk about easy win games. They don't exist in English league football, it's what makes it so enjoyable / exciting / scary / frustrating...take your pick

Powell being back is a huge boost! If Joe is out then surely it has to be Thompson in that role? I don’t want to see Sawyers sitting so deep. Thompson, Sawyers and Powell would be a decent three from what’s available, assuming that Vrancic isn’t going to play 3 games in a week.

Thompson doing the dirty work, Sawyers spraying passes about and Powell driving forward. Noice.

Surridge is good and is going to be good for us in my opinion. Just needs the right service. He will be good with both Powell and Sawyers on the pitch.

Interesting reading about rio visiting Derby to watch a Rooney training session.
Reading it he was sounding like it's the best coach he's ever seen in training ever. He summed it up with just Wow!

Glad Powell will be fit it sounds. I'd have Clucas, Powell and Vrancic in the middle.

Considering what he's got to work with he's doing well there. They seem to be draw specialists. We really need to be beating these tomorrow but I can see it being a horrible game

3 visits there since relegation and we haven’t even scored let alone won. Ideal opportunity to reverse that record and keep some momentum. This site won’t be pretty if we lose this one, I think most fans are expecting us to come away with 3pts. I think if we score first, we win. This site is NEVER pretty. It always amazes me how people can manufacture something to be on a downer about regardless of how we are doing. Also how people who have a strong common interest can get downright nasty over the most insignificant differences of opinion. Win, lose or draw, there will be people on here complaining.

For those not sure yes this is another attempt at humour ..... only better than Lord B's Sorry, it's late on a Friday and I should have quit while I was ahead!

Considering the crisis at Derby, we simply have to win this game.
Not doing do really would be very very poor indeed.

Fuck me, he missed from 4 yards, 3 times on Weds? How much better does he need it??!! How many does Fletcher miss from the same distance- header against Coventry last year, Notts Forest at home this year- Preston and his daft Rabonna last year- remind me how many Fletcher has scored this year- another one whose reputation improves when he doesn’t play?
