He does seem ratty - tense, uncomfortable, almost fearful, like a guy who knows that thirty-odd thousand blues utterly fried his brain last year and has just found out that this time round there's actually going to be fifty-thousand of them.

No Gomez for them...got a feeling ndiaye could be the one this time....

Hate playing them , despise them as a football club and everything around them.

I’d probably rather the Derby wasn’t a thing but it is and I dread it coming around . We’ve got a chance , hopefully the sun is out and those who want get a couple of beers down them and a coach welcome gees up the others .

We saw against Chelsea how a good atmosphere coupled with a fast start can help us , so I’m hoping that’s how it goes . Be nice to get one early .

Our midfield looks more than good enough to challenge their’s and if we use Beto right he has a chance to rough them up again .

Defensively I hope we can avoid some basic errors , myko generally does ok against Salah but I’m a little worried at right back .

Let’s hope we have a fantastic weekend and continue our chase for Europe .

Lets not forget by birth alone we are better than them.

You can never really predict one of these things. I truly hate this fixture

I just hope they behave themselves and don’t ruin our lovely new home

You know there will be a lot of graffiti left back in the toilets and common areas, stickers plastered on the seats, walls, signage, etc.

I thought it was against the rules to mention anything about refereeing standards in a pre match press conference

Hope you're right but JOB doesn't always play well against pacey wingers who drop a shoulder and cut inside.

Still Illy on the right for this game, he can comfortably help Jake out and also do one over on Kerkez.

Though I don't want us heading in to the game with such a worry of losing the first derby at BMD that it effects a winning mentality.

Ngumoha up against JOB is a frightening thought.
I'm sure DM will have a plan for that.

Well hopefully the kid will play like he did when he came on against PSG - keep attacking the full back, miscontrolling it and bobbling it out for a goal kick. There's no greater sign of their problems at the moment that they genuinely think he's the solution - one day maybe, but not yet, not close.

I was at the Scotland game and nipped in the shop the day after , on both occasions there were stickers all over outside .

And I hope the club make it public if they do disgrace themselves compared to other away supporters.

Let's not let him down

Especially after that midweek reminder of the squad of misfits they've assembled for half a £billion+

Into them blues. They're in the place to fold after a goal.

They have two of the worst full backs I’ve seen in a long time, and the goalie isn’t much better. Nothing to fear, but we need to make sure we don’t do something stupid to help them.

Hate this fixture tbh, the nerves get me every time. Just want it out the way with 3 points in the bag.
