Usual banana skin potential with a game against lower league opposition. Think of Accrington being Derby and Derby being Southampton or Man Yoo........ which probably is not a good analogy....
Good old fashioned cup tie is how it is being marketed and all the usual cliches are being applied but I can't think of any.
Ashley Cole will not be playing, neither will TL, Carson or Wisdom who are all poorly and have a note. However FloJo may be up for it.
Apparently this is the first time both teams have but somebody said something about them meeting before but when Accrington were under a diffent guise. Hopefully we don't go the same way we did against Crawley in 2011.
Accrington have not reached the FA Cup fifth round in their current form, losing at the fourth round stage twice previously (in 2009-10 against Fulham and 2016-17 against Middlesbrough).
Derby have only reached the FA Cup fifth round in four of the previous 19 seasons and have not done so since the 2014-15 campaign.
Team news to follow.

As always, if we draw Shrewsbury all are welcome to Vidal Towers. I am even prepared to muzzle the hounds for the day, or at least until Scouse arrives. They seem to have a natural antipathy towards people from that part of the world. Even humming a Beatles song sends them apoplectic with fury, and it may confuse them if they aren’t allowed off the leash to pursue their quarry. It will provide some post-match entertainment for the rest of us to watch Scouse attempting to evade their attentions for an hour or two across the estate. I will make sure there is fresh hay in the stables for those wishing to stay overnight, except for Backo of course, for whom I will have a four-poster set up in the orangery. On the Sunday morning we can have a stroll around the estate, shoot a few swans on the lake, and see what parts of Scouse can be retrieved. Should be fun all round.

Perfectly acceptable to me.
No need for fresh hay tho Vidal. They will be alright.

Hay would be essential if I were there, Backo. I eat 6 times a day and crap thrice. Probably a none issue though unless you all start a gofundme thing to pay for my flights and the hay.

Number 28, Backo looking awesome
Number 29, me and my lad. I look majestic, like a king in a Derby hat.

It’s like you’re contemplating some stuff, and that.

Looking very distinguished, Vidal.
No wonder Mel made a beeline for you before the kick off

I had trouble shaking him off if I'm honest, once he had a firm grip of my hand.

Whereas Backo just blended into the crowd, a la 'Where's Wally ?'

I have to say I found Mel to be a very level-headed chap. I rested my glass of champagne on his head for a while and not a drop was spilled.

Champagne in Accrington! Now you really ARE taking the Pi55.
