We know that, I was wondering what our fans reaction to Eustace would be.

I will tell you after the game. 

I will imagine he will get a fair amount of stick tbh

Seen a few people have ordered plastic/inflatable snakes and some with some road sign poster, where Derby heads off to the left into League 1 and Rovers is straight on

Some fans directing the hate at the wrong people (not saying Eustace is completely innocent), but that’s bloody funny 🤣 

[islander200]

Derby have never lost their first four matches under a new manager.

We are shite away to promoted clubs. 

If we want to have any hope of finishing top 6 we really need 3 points from this one.

Pathetic.

There really is no hope is there. The Club really have done a fabulous job of brainwashing everyone.

ALL the ire should be directed towards Venky's , Waggott and Pasha..

I'm same really we all know where fault lies but in general, under the iffy circumstances any club would give a bit of stick

Do or die time. If there's any mettle in this squad, now is the time to start producing. This Saturday.

A goal early on or scoring first will be a good start

Honestly the best response from the fans would be to simply not acknowledge him. 

He left us in a better place than he found us - and obviously he's embarrassed the club (both the fans and the hierarchy) by leaving for a desperate situation. 

I have no anger for Eustace, simply indifference. Another manager caught up in the Venky's vortex that dropped us at the first opportunity.

My bit for the LT…

Rarely has the first goal been so important as it will be on Saturday.

Think whoever scores first will win the match.

Rovers lose and our season is over, Derby lose and they are gone.  It's that simple - forget all the rhetoric.

High stakes - let's see who has the cajones.  Sadly, I don't see it being Rovers.

It’s hard to avoid thinking that the result might have more to do with what odds fat ‘Barry’ Rao might be able to get on a home win with his local Indian bookie.

Good grief, Mr Grumpy!

They are having a laugh. Remember that feeling??

They're going to look silly if Derby win, as will any Rovers' fans chants directed at Eustace during the match

This match is one enormous banana skin. Rovers fans should support the team, hope we win and wait till the final whistle. Then give Derby and Eustace as much stick as possible.

This does not of course mean they are the real villains  

[1874]

Did Eustace leave Rovers because he was in danger of getting us promoted. 

[Gav]

Tell you what, where are these fans when we really need them? To protest against the real villains of the piece these fuckwit owners of ours?

Embarrassing having at go at Derbys manager, embarrassing.

VENKYS OUT - NOTHING ELSE MATTERS

[Mattyblue]

Most fans just don’t care about the off field stuff, they didn’t in 2010 to 2012 (as us big minority of protesters know too well), they don’t now.

However, if the on field product is crap as a result of said off the field stuff they just walk away.

[Old Codger]

So, Derby haven't netted since JE took over, and he's led them to three successive defeats.. I say feck that - nothing has any bearing on tomorrow's game other than the attitude of our players, and our will to win. We do have a habit of giving goals away, and who knows, maybe JE's tactical insights into the Rovers squad might be an advantage in his mind, but that is the only place it should be allowed to exist.

I say go at them from the outset - from what I've seen of the Rams, they are more Ramshackle than Rampant, and Rovers easily have enough on paper to take the game to them and win.

Bloody banana skin bollocks!

Derby & Joan Performance - Rams 1 Rovers Regress 0

Der be gold in dem der hills - Derbee Drought goes on 0 Rovers 3

Rams Roar Repeatedly - County 3 Rovers 3

Like practically any of the next 4 games, this has 'season defining' written all over it, so let's hope Valerien has the lads revved up and ready 🙂

ALLEZ LES BLEU!!!

Looking forward to this game. I think we will win. Going 3 nil with Gueye scoring 2 and Ohashi 

my team based on the team news and Ismael's comments pre match

                  Pears

Brittain Carter Hyam Ribeiro 

            Travis  Tronstad

Dolan        Ohashi        Karbgo 

                  Gueye

Yes and we were back to c10k in the ground for Portsmouth the week after, the Dingle crowd is irrelevant. Big crowd for a big derby like at every club.

I will be there but expect a typical Rovers result in these type of circumstances. I will be surprised if there is any other result other than a Derby win.

After spending ages criticising my suggestion of playing Ohashi and Gueye and saying how wrong it was. And also how Hedges must start and Dolan doesnt deserve to.

[roversfan99]

As others have said, the stick is being aimed in the wrong place.

The narrative in the main would suggest hes just a one off greedy traitor.
