I don't know what game you lads were watching but I thought he played well and I'd keep him in for Monday night.

We kept a clean sheet at Wigan FFS yet people want to tinker with the back four and put a kid in for a big pressure game???

No fellas, we go with the same back four and possibly the same midfield IMO.

Total sense Dunne has to play and anything else is daft
 
Without having even kicked a ball our chances of winning the playoffs have increased significantly since last night.
How?
Well, before Brighton were sunk each team had a 25% chance of winning the competition, but now that there's only 3 teams left our chances have rocketed to 33 1/3%, so that's surely something to be pleased about!...
There's lies, damn lies and statistics.

I bet our odds have got longer since Derby's win.
 
I would play the same back four as in the away game. Onuoha, Dunne and Hill are important to set pieces both for and against. The midfield is the real dilemma, mostly in a positive way as we have much to chose from. But I'd play Henry as a sole defensive midfielder leaving the other four to push forward and support Charlie better than we were able to at the DW.

Zamora to take the Paul Furlong role as our hero, either late in the game or in extra time.

Here's the side I beleive is most suited to deliver our Wembley appearance, set up in a 4-1-4-1 formation.

Surely this is wrong? My maths says Derby see their chance go up to 50 per cent and both Wigan and us stay around 25 per cent?
 
You're right there, in betting terms, derby are odds on, were about 2-1 and Wigan about 3-1.

Obviously the winner tonight will have shorter odds.
