When is Bradley available again?  👀

Cheers mate , bar staff have okayed it as long as we keep Rams shirts covered and refrain from any behaviour that’s likely to cause a reaction

Good post @Peaceful Chairboy. Make no mistake we are under no illusion that this will be anything other than a tough game for us. You have no burden on your shoulders; we have the spectre of failure & the weight of that will determine the result. The officials as always will be a key determining factor. Hope it’s a good spectacle and may the best team be victorious.

I've read through your comments, some of your points are valid and I can understand where you've come from and some are a little outdated. 
In the past and under Gareth Ainsworth, we were the masters of the dark arts and I'll be the first to admit that the football was sometimes very horrible to watch but he did guide us to our most successful period which causes a lot of our fans to ignore our style of play. However, this season has been a change under Matt Bloomfield. He has been willing to move away from the slow game and look to try and get some more "flow" into our game. Hopefully those at the game and watching at home might see a bit of difference. This change has been more noticeable since Jan Transfer Window when we brought in new players. I think it's safe to say that Stevenage and Northampton have looked at the dark-arts this season and have mild moments of success with it.
With regards to our game at Wembley on Sunday, one big thing that changed our style of play was the pitch size. We have a habit of sitting back and hitting teams on the counter on the bigger / wider pitches. However, when we play at home, our pitch is on the smaller side of the measurements which allows us to play with a little bit more pace and our game plan changes. Yes, Peterborough had an awful lot of the ball at Wembley but for a long periods of time, all they did was move it from side to side looking for a gap. As someone mentioned, they had 70% possession, managed only 1 more shot on target that Wycombe and only won it with a wind-assisted cross. 
It looks like tonight will be a really interesting fixture. We have 4 "fresh" players coming into the side as they were cup-tied from Sunday's game and several of the players are looking to improve on their performance from Sunday (Please note that I haven't mentioned that I thought we played well on Sunday - we didn't!). You guys looking threating and I've watched several of your highlights and think that you'll ask several questions of our defence. You will be fresher than us after having a nice 9 day break without a game so that does make us nervous too. It will all be decided on the pitch in the 90 minutes. 
Good luck!

I was at Pompey the other night. Still buzzing from it; pure theatre. My lasting memory though will be the support in the Away end. Got to my seat 10 minutes pre-ko & the Rams were in full voice with a new song that was mesmerising & unusually had zero references to penises. The singing never stopped for the 98 minute duration and it was at times transcendental. Or summat. Made me feel very proud of Derbyshire. Hope we can keep that up in the last 4 fixtures. We really need those flanges…almost like @B4ev6is is conducting events - because it’ll be a fantastic day if we do the …<fill in the blanks>.

Thanks for the link Mr Ellafella 😃🐏

Did you not notice that I'd spelled it incorrectly too. No idea what your beef is tbh, but FWIW, you're not the only one who misses the lad. 

Not having a go at you at all, but I really miss Dan as part of the away day family, I wish he was on this journey with us this season physically and not just spiritually hence the tear.
Correct spelling was, rightly so, way down his list of priorities ☺️

Kane Wilson for me. Nothing poetic but definitely cartoon-like as he teapots his way past 3 defenders and slots home against Carlisle in the 78th minute so we have 12 minutes plus like we did when RvdL headed home.
