Watt was limping around after the match on Tuesday, so I expect Luzon is not playing any 'mind games.
We are a team seemingly playing high on confidence, Derby appear to be struggling a bit. That being said, this will be a tough ask to come away with any points.
One thing to be said, is I doubt Luzon will be playing for the draw.
“Tony Watt is feeling his leg a little bit,” the gaffer said.
“I’m sure he will be ready but we will see.”
Don't think we need to panic yet - everyone saying Watt is out but this direct quote from Luzon would suggest that the most likely scenario is he will be ok.
Either way - maybe it would be better starting him on the bench due to the fact it is one of the toughest away trips of the year....

If we go a goal up and don't concede, I think we will win this one. However, if both teams fail to find the net, I think we will only get a point from this game.
Tactical genius Thai
Thumbing through my "Football for Dummies" aparently if they score and we do not reply by scoring as well, we may well lose this...
Going from the cup match the other night - and while I've no doubt he can still bang in the goals - Darren Bent looked a (very large and slow) shadow of his former self. I can already hear a chorus of "Are you Hasselbaink in disguise?" I'm hoping for an honourable draw.

Not a bad shout going 4-5-1 @ Derby... Bergdich hasnt had a bad start and with him and JBG on the flanks the formation can easily turn into 4-3-3 when going forward
Our record is absymal up there - but records are there to be broken!! I'm also of a similar opinion that it'a great time to play them, looks like we've also got confidence, I'll predict 1-1, hoping for a snatched 2-1 win, Watt to start
Derby are under pressure to win this one which could work in our favour. With 3 games in a week you do wonder why Watt played in midweek if he now has a knock. But Derby is a place we just do not perform. 3-0 to the Rams and we are all very disappointed.
TW only played the second half against QPR. If Luzon had left him out of the team altogether on Tuesday, there would be those on here saying he wasn't getting enough game time.
Naturally want us to win, however it's very early in the season and Derby remain favourites for promotion. I know it is a bit of a cliche but I just want a good performance tomorrow, Derby will be well up for this, first game in front of their fans and have a feeling they will really go for us. Will be very happy with a point, however any loss by a one goal deficit wouldn't get me to disheartened.
Getting more confident about this one as it gets nearer...
Clement is already under huge pressure (some fans want him gone after Pompey) and if we're at least level at half time, the home fans will get restless and we can go on to dominate the second half like we did against QPR.

Are you Andy Townsend in disguise? Lol
Derby under pressure already a bit of a shambles midweek by all accounts - 2-1 away win.
Two up then Bent pulls one back but we hold on!

Having said that, 1-3.
