So after an impressive display and deserved win against Barnsley we move on to our FA Cup 1st Round Replay at Home to Crewe Alexandra 

The first game at the Mornflake stadium last week was a game we really should've won with how much we dominated the game and after going 0-2 down showed good character to keep going and get a deserved late equaliser to take us into this game on Tuesday under the lights at PP

Crewe have since beaten one of the top sides in L2 in Notts County with a late winner, a penalty in 90+8 minutes from Courtney Baker-Richardson who has now become there top goalscorer this season after scoring the winner.

This will certainly not be a walkover and think we really need to be right at it and get off to a good start and if we play like we have of recent I'm confident we will see our way through into round 2 but Derby as we know have a habit of making things hard for themselves sometimes 

Onto Team selection and PW will be buoyed by the recent results at PP scoring 7 and conceding 0 in the last 2 and think maybe the only changes may be due to injuries as Nyambe and NML  who looked to have taken slight knocks.

I suspect a strong nearly un-changed line up for this one and a victory will be a great way to go into the break at a time where we would probably prefer to continue but it will give us a chance to get a few fit Waggy, maybe Ward and Washington ?

I will see you all again after the International break

p.s

After the devastating news from @angieram regarding Daniel aka B4 which has clearly shocked and affected  so many I would like to ask this of fellow Rams fans at the game on Tuesday and for the long season ahead please and I  sincerely hope this doesn't offend his family in any way.

If at any time during the match when his and our beloved Rams are playing , should a player make a mistake , a stray pass, miss an easy chance etc etc , before any of us think to berate or aim criticism at a player , maybe pause for a second think about B4 and then encourage and cheer on that player with the same enthusiasm  that Daniel would've done, as I'm sure he would love that...Once a Ram always a Ram !

If we play as well as we did last Saturday, we'll win tonight 4-0, irrespective of what team we put out, which may include three under-21 players.

You might be right but I suspect Crewe will try to keep it tight at the back - the type of tactics we seem to struggle to break down. 
 

I can’t see us losing (unless it goes to penalties in which case it is of course a lottery) but it might be tighter than we’d wish for unless 1) we score a couple of early goals and/or 2) Crewe are behind going into the closing stages and decide they may as well go for it thus leaving themselves open at the back.

It's already in this thread, but there's still people saying you can't watch it anywhere...

You can via bet365 app. Either create an account and deposit £5 or if you have an account, have made a bet of any amount in the past 24 hours.

For those opposed to gambling... guess you can get the wireless out and listen to Adam Bolder or whoever it is at the moment.

4,567 home tickets sold.

600+ Crewe fans.

We managed 7200 v Torquay almost a year to the day ago with over over 800 Torquay fans present. I cannot think of a smaller home FAC crowd in my life time. Hopefully there will be a few last minute attendees.
