Our first Derby vs Shrewsbury prediction backs the main striker of the Rams Collins to find the back of the net at some stage in this match. Collins is guaranteed a starting spot up front with both Waghorn and Washington out injured right now.
Collins has 13 league goals already and he scored in all of the last 3 home matches, 4 goals altogether.

Derby fans celebrate Eiran Cashin's extension
With Eiran Cashin signing a new deal at the start of February, I just wanted to bring back this quote from exactly one year ago today.
If he stays for the long term, I've got no doubt that he'll captain Derby County one day 🐏 #DCFC pic.twitter.com/vmKLjCjtbl

Shrewsbury fans hopeful for first win in this fixture
Can’t imagine many Ramsfans look for Shrewsbury Town fixtures when they drop pre-season. As a Salopian of 33 years standing it is my first port of call. 3 games played and we’ve yet to win or even put in a performance against my hometown team. Surely that changes tomorrow? #DCFC
