We're all gonna be distracted by the news of Danny Green's hat trick against Manchester United. One direct from a left wing corner, one direct from a right wing corner, and one direct from a throw in on half way that just brushes the United keeper as it crosses the line.
Two wrongs don't...as the saying goes...make a right.
I'd say that Derby clicked on Saturday, but not sure anyone really has to (yet) against Fulham. All too difficult to call until we know how both managers treat this. Just a couple of changes, like the first leg, and I still fancy our chances. Derby to have new loanee, Ryan Shotton, in their team. Decent, strong player/signing.
Henderson if hes ready Gomez Morrison Bikey Fox Wilson Cousins Buyens Harriot Moussa Tucudean. 3 subs will be Church, Johann, and Jackson, perhaps Igor if we are down late.
I'll say a hard fought 1-1 draw. we could possibly win 2-1 but this is a much harder game than last week so ill say 1-1 draw, we'll win on penalties. #COYA
Maybe a tad contentious but why not play a full(ish) strength team. I appreciate our squad is quite thin on talent once you dip past the first 11 plus Morro, Wilson, Moussa, Gomez and Fox and we don't want injuries. However, I think that as we are still a relatively new team, why not keep the core together and give them another chance to get a game under their belts. It's still early days in terms of fitness, plus we have the international break after the Brighton game (chance to rest - apart from Church). Another game so soon after the below par performance at H'field gives them a chance to work it out their system before the Brighton game.

fair point on playing a strong side but Gudmunsson and ben Haim are still current internationals, I believe Igor might be going to Angola if there are African games and some of the young players (Cousins, Gomez could have U21/U19 games. Not sure if George is a regular for the Romanian U21 but we could a few players away on international duty on top of Church.

Good point. I'm sure there's a balance. I just think it may be better to exercise the poor performance of h'field in this competition, rather than Brighton if that makes sense. We might get

Still I didn't think we would beat The massives in the FA Cup so shows what I know.

The important thing is to avoid injuries, reds and yellows to key players. Buyens has picked up at least two yellows already for instance
