valleyram Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 Has steve got a decision to make team wise for this game ? Leicester on the Friday is a far bigger game and maybe resting 1 or 2 would not do us any harm , we ain't going to win the fa cup but we could certainly win the championship Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ketteringram Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 Yes, he has to decide. If it was up to me, I'd go for both Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimRam Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 Chelsea will rest a lot of players so would not do us any harm to do the same. I agree that Leicester has to take priority. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davenportram Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 Might be forced to with loanees Wisdom out - Freeman in ( Loan recalled so he can get a feel for the squad before playing?) Dawkins out Rusell in Bennett on the bench Cisse out of contract unless we extend it Salmon start and Martin benched Other than that can't see any other changes being made Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastKentRam Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 I think we should drop Bryson as to not let Chelsea see how good he is. If he plays, they're guaranteed to buy him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcsilks Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 What harm would playing them do? We should play our best team for every game when we're on this run. Winning breeds a winning mentality. There's 5 days between the games. How much more rest does a player need!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alph Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 Surely a lot of the players would be massively dissapointed not to play this game. It's sort of a reward isn't it? Got to let them have a go. I would have thought we'd have done more resting v Donny and Barnsley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REDCAR Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 Only 3 full 'none match' days between the Wigan and Chelsea games... Personally think it will show that whatever team Jose puts out they will look fitter let alone the tekkers... Chelsea game is a bonus game in my eyes, the result (should we lose) not let confidence drop... I'll be there to cheer the lads on anyway win, lose or draw. The league is deffo priority though, surely? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love to say we will rest people, but you can't unless you want unhappy players on your hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TroyDyer Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 You can't drop a lad against Chelsea. These are the games you dream of playing in. Leicester is 5 days away. I expect a full strength Derby side to try and beat Chelsea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ivo_knoflicek Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 It sounds strange, I know, but I have been asking myself what would be the best outcome of this game. Obviously a win would be great, and would put us well and truly on the map. Whether we need that right now though is another matter, especially at the start of the transfer window. Going on to then win at Leicester would also be a big ask too. Having said that, my first ever Rams game was the infamous 2-1 over Chelsea in the Cup in 1983, so there would be something particularly satisfying about doing it again. A defeat is bad news, not least because we haven't had one for so long (and hopefully won't against Wigan). If we then went on to lose at Leicester, which can't be ruled out, then a couple of defeats in a row could have a really negative effect on the young players in our squad who are on a high at the moment but haven't got a great deal of experience of surviving the highs and lows of a season challenging for honours. So I'm coming to the conclusion that I fancy a scoring draw at home - great atmosphere, live tv cameras there, lots of glory-hunting part time fans there who might be even more likely to come again this season, and then lose a relatively low-key replay and "concentrate on the league". A bit like the Shef Wed 3-3 in the league cup back in the early '90s. But Bucko to score the only goal of the game, in the 93rd minute, red card for Mourinho for his protests about a foul on the keeper? I wouldn't complain I suppose....
