Who knows what’s gonna happen here! In reality and if I’m honest I didn’t expect us to reach the final! However we are there and on our own merits.....
1-0 Derby win for me with a powerful header from Keogh!

Rich admire your confidence this is going to be a very hard game They have some great players Mcginn and Grealish best midfielders in the division Houriane can score from anywhere Abraham a massive threat he just squatted Keogh and Tomori aside in the league matd ch But as I said before the Leeds match this is Derby always expect the unexpected
I think they'll win and have had £300 on them to do so at 8/13 (promotion), cushion blow type bet
But their fans are thinking its a foregone conclusion because of that 4-0 at Villa Park, not good to get complacent, esp with the way we set up that day, 4231 formation? with Bird and Evans in holding mid positions, Holmes in the number 10 role behind Marriott, with Bennett and Jezefzoon as the wingers, it was horrendous just looking at it pre match, never mind watching it pan out
Marriott was left totally isolated, Bennett and Jozefzoon were totally wasted in that set up, what made Lampard go with Evans and an untested ****ager in such important postions I'll never know
No Mount, Wilson, Johnson, Bogle, Waghorn and Roos, it was a total train wreck
If Villas players are thinking they are getting the same team and system as that game then they could come a right cropper

We will be setting up totally different with a totally different looking team
Roos
Cole Tomori Keogh Bogle
Johnson
Mount Wilson
Lawrence
Marriott Bennett/Wagohorn
That looks totally unrecognisable to
Carson
Cole Tomori Keogh Wisdom
Evans Bird
Bennett Holmes Jozef
Marriott
Mind boggling Lampard even thought that Villa Park team was anywhere near good enough
It was a ploy by Frank to mislead them for the expected playoff final. Put out a weak team and lull them into a sense of false security. We are the team of destiny, our name is "on the trophy", keep the faith, 2-0 win
Just a thought, mind, but weren't most of the players "missing" that day out because they were injured? Wasn't Carson preferred to Roos at the time?
No surprise to me that FL picked what he thought was his best keeper at the time and left out players who were injured.
Point well made...very different side and set up so who can tell?
Odds still favour Villa but I’m coming round to Parky’s ‘destiny’ view.
Another good omen? I’ve been at three of our last four Wembley trips and have a 0% Wembley record. Failed dismally to get a ticket on Sunday...luck of the draw I guess...so I won’t be there just as I wasn’t in 2007 when I was out of the country...look what happened then.
Think we’ll win...on penalties!
I don't think they were injured just tired and Lampard gave them a rest
He did similar in the Leeds legue away match as well
Carson
Lowe Tomori Keogh Wisdom
Mount Evans Bryson
Lawrence Marriott Holmes
He then switched Holmes to right back at half time? that midfield was awful again there as well, no waghorn to hold the ball up, Marriott totally isolated up top again because no one could get close to him
I'm starting to think he was doing it all on purpose as well, those two away games were so bad he must have been?
Would be hilarious if we did it on Monday and all becomes clear lol
Max Lowe played the home game as well (1-4)
If we win on Monday I'll admit it was all done on purpose hahaha
Max Lowe at left back absolutely bonkers
