That's right sporting of you guys.

Give the lads a chance to show your fans what they can do in the flesh.

Here's to a good game.

 

Clever choice of avatar Mick, and I remember him briefly playing for us. 

Really great news for Derby that we can play Mount and Tomori. Respect to Chelsea for allowing them. Doubt many other clubs would have done the same in the prem.... class :)

Has CFC under Roman ever turned down a request for our loanees to play against our first team?  Think it's fantastic they do this for many reasons.

Tomori and Mount have been given permission to play against us in the cup.

That's a really good decision by the club. Folk are saying that could backfire on us but I'd have been really disappointed if we hadn't allowed for them to play. Let's hope that our own line-up for that game includes Ampadu and Hudson-Odoi.

We... erm... attempted to stop Courtois playing against us in the Champions League semi versus Atletico.

The worst loan deal in history

Not only did it contribute to getting knocked out of the CL, but he also popped a couple of kids out which gave him a 'reason' to move back to Madrid.

But now we’ve found ourselves a Kepa...

I hear he was a polite young man with a CFC tattoo and a dream before he moved to Madrid...

As long as we take it gracefully on the chin if they knock us out.  That is always the risk that the lesser team raises thier game and someone delivers a wonder strike.

I thought the club eventually agreed to CT playing? We said no, stuck with no and UEFA over ruled it?

Franks super 'Battering' Rams are on fire, destroyed WBA tonight,  you won't get much odds on SFL becoming future Chelsea manager

Derby playing some very nice football at the minute, especially for the Championship. High energy and so quick in transition. 

2 points off of Leeds too.

What a win that was.... anyone see the run Tomori made from his own half to the WBA box?? wtf!

MM was sensational as well..... what a 3pts!

It was a great result. Mason Mount has been incredible this season but I actually thought he had a poor game for his standards last night.

Derby played very well last night. Very nice to see that Lampard and Jody are doing a great job and I hope they take Derby to the PL next season.

Big match tonight v Forest, hoping Super Frank gets us the 3 points.

Also, can we have Ampadu in January please?

A win tonight will see Derby 6 points clear of 7th place Forest.

Nah, but you can have Alonso or Christensen.

You forgot Morata 

Tomori was poor last night and lucky not to see red. 

Mount, although doing nothing bad, looked like a passenger.

This was my main criticism of him when he was at Vitesse as well. Too often he just lets games pass him by.

Crazy game. Derby score to late goals to win at Norwich. 4-3
