What time do they hit general sale on monday morning? I've got a few people from work here in London that want to come to the match with me. Will they all need to register to buy tickets too?

The spin on the ball looks like it should curl to the keepers left but the ball actually swerves a little to the keepers right. He’s wrong footed and the pace of the shot means he can’t adjust to make the save in time. As was mentioned when he did it at Old Trafford, the technique is hard to get right and there’s an element of luck in the ball moving the opposite way once it’s been struck. He’s clearly getting the technique right more often and I don’t doubt he’ll score a lot more of these free kicks throughout his career.

Like a true cyclist. Well done to you for doing this. Distance cycling is daunting and challenging. Pint well earned!

1st minute, 5th minute and now the 10th minute. At this rate we might get to half time without conceding sometime at the end of October and hopefully keep a clean sheet by the end of the year.

Phil Jones' boots...

That. Was. INCREDIBLE! Can't remember such a great set of penalties from both teams. Keogh with the winner is a dream!

Proud of how the lads have played tonight regardless of what happens in the shootout. Can just about imagine how the ref found 6 minutes (goalie change was slow after the red and a bit of VAR plus usual add ons for yellows and subs), but it is a sucker blow to go deservedly ahead and then concede in the 5th minute of added time.

You weren't watching the same game, because he was commenting without even watching the Hull game (and possibly others).

Amen.

How any Derby fan still have trouble spelling Keogh after all these years of moaning about him amazes me. Also, it’s Tomori. Can we please learn to spell players names correctly before criticising them?

I don’t think this is true. I think he was in the 23 for the Ipswich game, which is why he missed the U23 match, but he didn’t quite make the 18 as he was behind Evans and Ledley. we’ll see if he makes the first team squad this weekend with Evans (and potentially still Huddlestone) out injured. If Johnson also isn’t fit enough then he might make the bench. If he really is a million miles from the squad I expect he’ll be back in the u23 squad this week.

Not much on the bench in the way of midfielders

Thorne, Martin and Butterfield all played last night for the under 23’s and therefore definitely won’t feature tonight. Im pretty sure you can’t make 4 subs even in a league cup match too.

I think we’ll see a few changes from the weekend. As people have mentioned, the team needs to gel, but this is also a great chance to introduce some new players without risking too much. Malone in at left back. Keogh out for Davies/Pearce. Evans in at DM. Holmes in for Bryson. Jozefzoon to start in one of the wing positions. Marriott up top.

How about Manel? @McLovin 😉
