Although I know the line ups are always hard to predicts, the BBC website is a total shambles

I say we change tactics today against a team in the lower half we always dominate the ball and struggle to score. Put 3 up front and lump it upfield at every opportunity. #dycheball #hodgsonball

Shame Welbeck is missing, since he’s had a few injury issues we haven’t looked quite the same. O’Riley is also a miss. Confidence levels have dropped seeing that.

Enciso to win it with an absolute worldie in the 3rd minute of stoppage time.

Had kind of hoped Solly might have snuck onto the bench

Anyone know what the building works behind the south stand are? Big chunk of the banking next to the car park taken out and steel supports put in ready for something to be built.

Danny's a big miss but it's the defence that worries me, after the last 3 games

Sky tv. Seem to think that the only Derby game today is in Manchester. They have been on for 10 minutes and I think our game might be postponed.

I picked up a lucky penny at a petrol station on the way today which just happened to be right outside my car door when I was putting petrol in. So yeah, we're winning this.

It's also from 1979

No Welbeck and no O’Riley

Welbeck is a big miss, O’Riley has looked average since his game winning cameo, no big miss imo, not up to speed yet imo.

Sorry I haven’t seen it, just a random guess based on your description

Probably because ours is not technically a derby, more of a shared dislike for each other

I have given up watching pre match coverage of Albion games, every time they bang on about Top 6 teams in the build up, even when the match doesn’t involve any of them. It’s like we’re a booby prize

Agree. O’Riley has looked a bit lightweight so far and I don’t think the frantic and physical nature of todays game would likely suit him.
Welbeck and Veltman missing the game is a concern. It’s a young and inexperienced team.
On a positive note, Adam Wharton still not back for Palace.
