Nah, too busy trying to buy a ticket for tomorrow on a site designed by a year 9 computer science student.

Vids, are you going and if so, we're you able to access the block you wanted?

I'm not going tomorrow as one of my lads is working so we will watch it on the box. We got our normal seats on Saturday.

Put it this way, all good in the View household and I look forward to the Trillion in the 2022-23 season <big grin>

Have to feel for Spart on days like this. Flunked his A levels apparently. Blames it on watching Derby!

Stearman
Forsyth

Bird

Direct link to the doc there, Desi
It's sickening, but I don't know why I'm shocked by that sort of thing anymore.
Still, it's all in the past now, right ?

From Derby's point of view there isn't too much to worry about except that it illustrates the shady characters that Morris has either chosen or been forced to deal with. The only thing is where he says that it might be FFP advantageous for the club to keep the personal debts to him for a few years rather than him writing them off immediately. I don't quite know why but the must be a financial reason. As with everything around FFP there are loopholes that all clubs try to exploit.

You're probably right, that was just my experimental team.

Looking at your experimental team it did make me think, I would like this season to be one where the squad matches close to what we think the team line up would be. ( Perhaps a little tricky given our threadbare squad but if we get another five players in)

I've found in the past to be off predicting the squad by the odd one or two players, you may agree with that when picking your line up. I think from when Lampard took over and became the new tinkerman and changed the line up so frequently and there after it's not been as simple to predict the XI, nor at a guess does it bring harmony to the squad.

Derby County: Allsop (GK), Ebosele, Brown, Forsyth (C), Williams, Hutchinson, Watson, Jozwiak, Morrison, Sibley, Stretton.

Substitutes: Roos (GK), Byrne, Stearman, Bird, Shinnie, Lawrence, Kazim-Richards.

I thought Rooney would have taken this competition abit more seriously

I've cancelled my Wembley hotel, you would think they would take it seriously as there could be some money in it if we drew a big team in a later round.

What has happened to our Derby County?

so has Duncan gone, or have we just given up on him entirely? more striker options seems like a no-brainer
