I certainly would not be underestimating Derby in terms of quality of player, there were many of us who wanted Lupoli Howard and indeed there was a thread on Bob Malcolm.
Where we would hope to have a slight advantage, is in the ability to put the supporters on the back foot and to get at the team through them. After all, as happened a lot at Preston last season, when we play well away there are naturally not the numbers who have witnessed it, and so the home crowd may think back to the games there. I think it is fair to say there was an element of that during our long run without a home win at the start of last season.
Should be a good game, am looking forward to taking my place in the upper tier, and hopefully watching PNE make our 'deserters' realise what they have left behind 🙂
