| NEWPORT COUNTY v DERBY COUNTY FA Cup 2nd round |
| Rodney Parade Sunday 27 Nov KO 1515 |
| Whilst the Faithfull have been gripped by the sight of Our Bielek not being injured in the World Cup, rainbow coloured armbands, stadia made of shipping containers and the sight of England reverting to cautious type, we have the little matter of a banana skin. |
| I think tomorrow we are wedged in between Morocco and Canada playing so we will be a bit of light relief and I've checked, rainbows are allowed at Rodny Parade and it does look like it was constructed out of old shipping containers. |
| Team selection will be interesting or not. We're still stretched personal wise and I'd rather keep the powder dry for league games. We still have to win this games to qualify for the privilege of playing a Championship side..... |
| Look, we should be comfortable with this game (gulp) and I certainly do not want a replay. Just do the job and come back injury free. |
| Team news:- Wildsmith (GK), Forsyth, Cashin, Hourihane, Bird (C), Collins, McGoldrick, Smith, Thompson, Sibley, Rooney |
| Subs:- Foulkes (GK), Barkhuizen, Stearman, Dobbin, Knight, Osula, Aghatise, Oduroh, Bardell |
