v Derby County (h) - 09/08/2024

[OldEwoodBlue]

I calculate this will be my 9th season boycotting since I stopped my ST.

Fully committed to going all season again without setting foot in Ewood, unless the owners leave. 100% guaranteed they will back down before I do.

Magic rainforest stick at the ready.

[tomphil]

Much more confident for this one now but still too early to be calling results.

the walk on prices are inanely high,27 quid is frankly stupid,especially the oxford game,you`de think they would try to encourage a decent crowd not go the other way,it`s as if they don`t want the support,hold on,this is swag and the indians,they probably don`t

Surely one of the new strikers (probably Gueye) will start even if it means Ohashi replacing him.

Nightmare? If we fear a romping at home to a promoted Derby side full of journeymen, then we may aswell pack it in now.

I know they are friendlies but pissing goals to the likes of Shrewsbury and Barnsley in pre season may evaporate some of their momentum.

The situation we were in was probably the main reason but JE has always tended to play more experienced players when possible and he's been playing an experienced team in the friendlies so far (and then a second 11 in the second game/half).

I think he'll give them more time in training before putting them on the pitch in the championship, Weimann is ready made for the championship and I just think JE will go with that to start with.

Also, Gueye doesn't even speak English and Ohashi's English is poor. Think it will be a few weeks before we start seeing their involvement. Could be wrong, just my take on it (which means nothing really 😂)

New promoted team bounce, Sky on a Friday, not easy 2-2.

Newly promoted team up first isn’t ideal. Better to play them in a month or two when the “ newly promoted “ shine has worn off and they’ve got a few out injured and suspended.

[Upside Down]

We'll lose 3-0

We’re playing Derby County who were in League 1 last season. Why are we losing this 3-0? Have they signed Paolo Wanchope and Kinkladze?

[Oldgregg86]

Well whilst I’m probably going to be negative for the rest of the season I shall kick the season off with a positive 2-0 rovers win 💙🤍

if trav plays it’s a complete bypass of midfield 

however after the transfer window and some new singings it could be different

Anyone remember the last time we played them on opening day? Our first game back in the big time under Souness, how times have changed.

yes,that dirty ***** ravanelli took dunny out of the game and put him out of action for a month,first time id`e seen grabbi as well,he looked completely shellshocked  that the ball was flying everywhere,extremely quickly

[OsloRover]

4-0 rovers in our easiest game of the season. New keeper playing who with no Derby shots on goal will be bored to death

Ipswich last season were newly promoted - we lost home and away.

And does that have any bearing whatsoever on what will happen this season ?

Better side but don’t put our chances away. The wait for the Eustace home win continues.

We haven't won away at a promoted side since fans have been allowed back in after Covid.

[bazza]

I think our defence will be a hell of a lot better. Can't see us scoring, though.

0-0 it will be then.
