Puts an end to all the promotion hysteria.

You have to register each individual family member via this link https://www.dcfc.co.uk/customer/register thus creating a new fan ID and then when you go to allocate the tickets you’ve selected, make a note of the new fan ID’s and you’ll be able to assign them.
As others said, you have to also use alternative emails which is annoying.
Had to do the same for my Dad and nephew when purchasing tickets for the Stoke game.

We’re at home so I would expect us to revert to playing out from the back. The fact Rooney himself said he didn’t like watching the game yesterday and said it’s ugly football Derby fans won’t like watching would also suggest it’s an occasional plan B.
Performance first half v Forest and taking our chances I think we can win this one. If we go for a win and get a draw that would also be an ok result. 
 
My team would be as follows:
                            Roos
Byrne         Jagielka      Davies    Buchanan 
                   Knight        Bird
         Sibley       Morrison      Jozwiak 
                          Lawrence 
Same as Forest but Buchanan and Knight in for Foz and Shinnie. Bird is good defensively and is better at getting us playing from deep with his passing breaking the lines, Knight gives us energy, can break up play but also can support the front 4. Definitely need to tweak the full backs tactics at times for this one, can’t have both Byrne and Buchanan pushing right up unless we’re well on top.
            
                           

Roos is badly underrated by our fans. If you compare him to other keepers in this division then he holds his own and you’d have to pay a good chunk of money to improve on him.
I noticed a lot of people have been critical of him with the ball at his feet, but again that’s the circumstances we put upon him. We give him the ball more than any other team gives their keeper and often under a lot of pressure too.
Given our number of backwards passes (not so much last night) and the pressure he’s under there will inevitably be mistakes, he’s not Ederson………..but I’m struggling to think of another keeper in this division that wouldn’t struggle with the silly amount of passes we give our keeper.
He’s done a good job this season.

Normally we throw the ball backwards and build out from the back again, with the change of tactics last night we ended up throwing it down the line and hoped for the best but I didnt mind the tactic too much as a lot of the time we got another throw in and managed to gain yards into their half.
With the size of our midfield & attacking players we're always going to struggle to win much in the air, so we have to aim for feet but when you have 2 or 3 players around you it is always going be difficult to get out, although 1st half I thought Jozwiak did this really well.
I think on Saturday we will go back to throwing it backwards and keeping possession.

What did he do vs Birmingham? Cant think off the top of my head. Neither goal came from him messing up.

Edit: Sage types faster.

Excellent point, 1 more than 99% of fans would have expected.
Dont care about the performance really in terms of style, we got lucky at times but we deserved it, we battled, defended, fought & ran our socks off tonight.
Roos & Williams were excellent.
Side note, Livermore should have been sent off

I think the negotiation part will be because we have breached p&s but the efl know we would appeal an immediate 12pt deduction on the basis the accounts were approved & dealings after that were done in this knowledge & we cannot retrospectively sell a player to recoup the money etc
So we have breached but cant do anything about it now as it was based off old accounts, the efl know this, so it just makes sense to negotiate the punishment rather than them issue it & us likely appeal just make it all drag on much longer.

I wonder what Watson has or hasnt done to have been overtaken by Williams, with the changes tonight id have liked to have seen Watsons energy in the lineup

After seeing the team news; this feels like Cardiff Away all over again 

Don't expect us to get much out of the game tonight. However, for this game I would match them up and go 3412, we did similar against their manager's Barnsley team last season and did well.
A back 3 would mean we can still play out from the back with the extra centre back vs their 2 forwards as well as having the extra height for their long balls/throws & set pieces. Also, having 2 upfront might help us keep the ball more in attacking positions, plus one of the 2 strikers can utilise the space behind their wing backs. Then leaving Morrison in a position where he can make the most of any space, also if he drops deep Knight can run beyond him & support the front 2.
Roos - Jagielka Stearman Davies - Byrne Knight Bird Buchanan - Morrison - Lawrence Baldock
Subs - Allsop Brown Shinnie Watson Sibley Jozwiak Stretton

For us to be even entertaining the discussion of a points deduction of any amount must mean we know we have breached the P&S figures otherwise we would submit the accounts and no negotiations required.

Impact sub for me at the moment. Use his raw pace and aggression to unsettle teams when the game needs stretching.

Quality player, always seems to find time & space on the ball. Does need to be better in his decision making like Hull away I think it was when he could have put Sibley through but went himself.
I cannot wait to see him & Bielik play in the same midfield!

I think its a case of agreeing a punishment with the efl which will coincide with the accounts being submited & embargos removed
Sign a few frees
Extend some contracts that run out in the summer
Try & get a takeover sorted
