If Hughton brings back Butt and Smith in a negative stance I think we will be lucky to come away with a point.

If he shows some balls and starts with the same team (Lovenkrands in for Best) that just walloped Cardiff 5-1 then I think we will have too much for Derby.

agreed, we need to go at them like we did Cardiff. Sadly, this being reality, i think Hughton will revert to his favoured 451 as it’s an away game, which may work if he actually picks two wingers to use in it, rather than sticking Guthrie out on one of the flanks.

I’d rather see us go the 442 way, with Carroll and Lovenkrands up top, but if Hughton feels he must pack midfield, i sincerely hope he does it properly with guthrie and smith in the middle, with nolan playing off carroll and jonas and routledge on the wings.

Derby will not be doing any attacking so we must stick with the same formation that destroyed Cardiff. It will be a case of, “Can you break us down”, from Clough’s men. I think we can and i think we will.

CH needs to show some balls and keep Smith and Colo on the bench (if they are fit). The only change should be Best for Lovenkrands. We need to go for the jugular tomo, Derby are fuckin terrible, even with Michael Tonge…
