General attitude from their message boards is they just have to play their regular game and they'll hammer us. Hope their players share the over-confidence. |  | | |  |

Its the city where i live and most will believe., like i do, that there is little to choose between the 2 teams. Sadly, their message boards are dominated by those with IQs well below 100.
They look really good going forward but all the evidence shows they concede as well.
The improvements since Steve took over has probably surprised themselves. I hope our big game experienced players triumphs over youthful exuberance. |  |

Not sure our ex-coach will allow that. What were those first two photos all about? in the gallery...

To be honest, they were the first side to actually give QPR a game at LR instead of the defend for your lives tactic which was deployed by everyone else. They lost though.
I wasn't overly impressed with them when they won 1-0 at theirs, there goal was a blatant foul for starters and QPR were in poor form at the time.
Overall I think it will be a really good game and as many playoffs have been, plenty of goals. |
We were without Simpson and Austin at the away game too, think we'll be a very different proposition for them with those two back in the side. |  | | |

If you think he 'll leave out either Dunne or Kranjcar( if fit) then you're deluded. He regards them as big game players. I thought they were both excellent last night
Would no way start with Ravel, he was very poor in both legs
Sadly I think Hill will have to make way, as Yun must stary | | | |

I think if the Wigan games proved anything it's that HR knows his players. Like everyone else I have my opinions about who should, or shouldn't start, but I'm willing to concede he knows better.
So far as the match itself is concerned, I think the longer it goes with no score the better our chances. They've can score in bunches when their tails are up. But, though we've look dull and listless in too many matches, even at our worst we've never collapsed like Brighton did in the second leg.* If we're tied – or even behind by a goal like yesterday – at half-time the pendulum swings in our favour.
*Everton in the FA Cup and at Wednesday are arguable exceptions, but I'd say we never even got going in those games | | | |

I'd say Derby's team is about as good as ours, and so is their support. One difference though is that we had to fight considerably harder than they did to get to Wembley and that just might sharpen our attitude and give us an edge. |  | | |

I don't think he will leave them out. I am saying what I would do. Harry has started with a different team than I woul dhave done most of this season, and we usually make changes at half time to correct how poorly we start.
Disagree with those that want Morrison dropped. He's a match winner and he won't be fazed. For me, he has to start.
Also partly agree about Henry starting in a final at Wembley as being disappointing, but I think he offers protection that allows our midfielders to push further up and stay there. Although he's very pragmatic himself, I think his commitment to sit and hold allows the team to be more attacking generally.
Let's wait and see. We know HR will do what the fck he wants and draw his team like countdown
I'll have a favourite please Carol, and another favourite, and a Gary O'Neil, and another favourite please... |  |

Energetic, pacey, well organised and devastating on the counter. They will score. But they are also likely to concede, their defence is not the best and man for man we should have enough to overcome them. But we HAVE to pick the right team to do that job.
We HAVE to start with Ravel, also Traore if he's fit, none of this Doyle on the RW bollocks, get pacey wingers on the big Wembley pitch and stretch them. Don't play pacey attacking midfielders though and ask them to sit 10 yards behind our half way line like last Fri against Wigan, let's play like we did last night, high tempo, attacking football. Each player in their best position, not shoe horning anybody in.
If we do that they won;t be able to live with us. Either way I think it'll be a good game, Derby are not there by accident, they are a great little team. |
Agree with that team, mate...apart from one key position.
I'd start Niko over Ravel. Niko was excellent last night - very sharp, worked hard, and his touch and passing were good. Morrison has looked completely off the ball in both play off legs and has looked a little bit like he's got stage fright.
Niko should start in my book and he should start in the no. 10 position. |  | | |

Harry said Krancjar played with a hamstring injury in extra time, I reckon he'll be injured |  | | |

We might be fodder. Probably best to wait and see. Let them do the dick swinging before, and hopefully we'll get ours out afterwards. |
This and I'll be swinging it in Robbie's direction. |  | | |

Its the city where i live and most will believe., like i do, that there is little to choose between the 2 teams. Sadly, their message boards are dominated by those with IQs well below 100.
They look really good going forward but all the evidence shows they concede as well.
The improvements since Steve took over has probably surprised themselves. I hope our big game experienced players triumphs over youthful exuberance. |
Was just on the phone to a mate from Chaddesden. He reckoned Derby fans will take over the area. I then pointed out we have about 80 more tickets for starters plus we're more or less at home as it's 5 miles from Loftus Rd. | | | |

Jim Smith had managed Oxford prior to taking over the reigns at LR. The suggestion being that it gives you no help. It didnt help Schtevee at LR when returning with Derby after only 10 games away.
However, I am inclined to suggest that he has improved Derby over the season |  | | |

To be fair to one of their boards... they have been basing their opinions of us by reading WATRB... need I say more? | | | |

Derby county play Brighton off the pitch and were meant to run off crying look at the players we have who can really step at the biggest stage there nothing to fear |  |

if you look at the Albion game, Albion made them look suprisingly good, better than they are. But, at 35 mins it was still 0-0. Given we dont start until the 35th min that omen has to be good. If we can hold them out for the first 35 we will over come them. |  | | |

They don't worry me. Big deal so they beat Brighton, we had a far tougher match. |  | | |

Be surprised to see Henry start this one. |
Me too, plus I'd worry we'd get the 'low on form and confidence' version of Henry, who knows?
I don't see why he wouldn't go with O'Neil again in that position.
If Yun starts at LB then I think I'd start Niko in front of him, depending on his hamstring. That could be a brutal combination down the left. |  | | |
