The Derby - build up thread.

£#%&! it. We can’t get any worse. Already been hammered by them and the dirties in recent years so I’m bulletproof.

Bring it on!

Pretty apt that it’s Halloween weekend.

That’s kind of where I am. Most likely, I think it’ll be a routine away win. City don’t tend to win big away. They do what they need to and get out. After the humiliations of the last few seasons, that’s nothing.

At worst, we lose a game where we’re underdogs. At best, it’s a season defining win.

Confident. Late winner and the roof will come off.

Ironically Rashford & Bruno are perfectly suited to this game, because we'll need to counter-attack and chuck a few hail marys up the wings for this one.

I’m confident that if we keep it tight early on we can keep it below double figures

Seriously though, we’re £#%&!ed…

Sad to see everyone go double strength concentrate dettol...

Last two derbies I've attended everypne had build up skids and we won both*...

From a state of mind pov, are more enjoyable as underdogs imo..

Most unnerving thing for me is a 330 kick off setting off a few ocd tremors



*not going this

Playing on the counter with big hojlund upfront might just suit us . Would casemiro be back by then?

Think having both casemiro and Amrabat as deep 6s to protect the defence .
Both of them have the long ball ability to ping it across on the counter too . The derbies with zero expectation in recent years have been the more successful ones .

If we are lucky we might scab a win . Just hope they don’t get tonked for a cricket score

already is.

Win 2-1

A feisty 0-0.

I’m always weirdly optimistic at home as underdogs.

Hard to see how anyone can be optimistic after last nights (and previous games). But we do sometimes get surprise results. Either a close win or a total walloping.

It would be so us to scab a win before losing to Fulham in woeful style the following week.

Ah yes, City.

A 1-0 win for us, celebrated like we've won a trophy.
