What a brilliant idea to play a footballer with an injury just because you don't like or trust 1 player Man what a stupid thing to say Later in the season after playing an injured player you will be moaning that he wasn't really injured and coming up with a conspiracy theory about Area 51 next !!!

I also noticed on your other thread about how the team did against Brighton that you said Grant not at fault for the goals, although I havent see them I take it you were not at the game so how can you comment on players and how they did with seeing the game?

Get a grip

1) I was at the game
2) You're in New Zealand so I'm guessing you weren't? Therefore you won't have seen Grant's inability to deal with crosses and bottle aerial challenges.
3) I said I didn't think he was at fault for the goals before I had seen them again. I now think he could have done better with the second.
4) Stay on the other side of the world and focus on egg

RBF I think that RaminNZ is maybe referring to your knee jerk reaction of changing four players after 2 wins and 2 draws against 4 sides in the top 8. Changes may be made and squad depth I'm sure will be a factor come May. Everyone has their own opinion but you appear to go negative if for any reason we don't win playing scintillating football. I'd say expectations are very high this time round and I think we often look like we have more gears but teams stifle us and we must be patient. Long way to go!

Nothing more than a win for tonight! A chance to give squad members a run out!! ( where's angry ????)

I'm sure there are plenty of instances of back problems being used as a 'cover'. Equally, I'm certain this isn't one of them. About the only three players that the vast majority would agree have been week in week out successes this season are Keogh, Shackell and Carson. Why on earth would Derby 'need an excuse' to drop the most reliable keeper we've seen in years and how is Grant in a position to 'demand' first team football?Conspiracy theory run wild imo, he's got a bad back...very debilitating, ask Jake Buxton...and it needs sorting asap.

[Anywho]

Finally, I'd rather play Carson with back problems than Grant.

What an utterly ridiculous statement!

You'd risk a longer lay-off by aggravating a back injury?

We certainly need more from the wingers tonight, and in future games. I get the feeling Ince is on the edge of something, as he's getting closer and closer each game. As for Russell and Weimann, both are out of form and need to produce more consistency. In the previous two seasons we've had 4 wingers to choose from, and with Dawkins seemingly frozen out of contention, we look slightly short. Oh what I'd give to have Ibe back.

That said, we could go for the diamond, and play Ince in the hole, where he's been effective this season, along with Bent and Martin up front.

I wouldn't make all four changes, it was more me saying that there needs to be one or two changes and these are some of the options.

It is alright Bam Bam, I get the joke, it is a bit like my sense of humour. However, I would rather have one of the outfield players playing in goal tonight, rather than this clown. Every time the ball goes anywhere near him he scares the sh*t out of me, that's for sure!!

Expecting a good win tonight 2-0 or similar. Incey needs to offer much more in terms of penetrating the opposition. No reason why Hendrick shouldn't get a start, but I think PC will stick more or less with the starting line up that did OK against a very good Brighton team.
