    Matchday Thread: Rams v Throstles

    Does anyone even call them the Throstles any more?

    Anyway, we've beaten them regularly over the past decade, why not this time?

    Well, we need to score to win, I guess that's obstacle number 1

    Still, you never know

    Me? A famous 2-0 Rams

    Anyone?

    Isn't it straight to penalties?

    Any road up, I expect us to play a similar XI to that which played Mansfield in the 1st round. The reserves thus.

    WBA have a League record of W1 D3 and L1 thus far. If they make a shedload of changes, there's a draw in this. How good are we at penalties? Old Trafford apart my memory is saying we don't often win peno shoot outs.

    Sadly, although a win would be welcome, I can’t get excited about this one.
    Ground a quarter closed kind of sums it up. Looking more like a friendly, with both sides knowing that their weekend matches are vastly more important than tonight.
    Little point in guessing the result until we know how seriously both sides are taking it.

    A 1-0 defeat for me, they will be too strong, but maybe a chance to let the on loan Everton striker a full game?

    As rA says who knows how high this game is on both clubs priority list!
    WBA score goals but are vulnerable and I reckon 1 - 2 to the Throstles!!

    Not sure about their team but ours looks a tad experimental although possibly strengthened by having Knight in midfield. I’ll go for penalties.

    Looking like Wildsmith - Oduroh Rooney Fozzy Roberts - Tommo Knight - Dobbin Sibs Smith - Didzy to me

    BBC has a MF diamond with Smith at the base, Knight right and Tommo left with Sibs in the 10 role. Dobbin and Didzy up top.

    We shall see.... or hear as there's no video tonight

    Who is Didzy? Do we have a traveller in the team?
