| DERBY COUNTY v WEST HAM FA Cup 4th round |
| Pride Park Sunday 29th Jan 2023 KO 1945 |
| Used to think that Newcastle fans were the most entitled fans - believing in their own greatness - but I now present West Ham who managed to wangle a brand new stadium in circumstances that would make Boris and Nadhim Zahawi blush |
| We welcome the 'Ammers to PP on Monday - who are worried, very worried about being humiliated by a team that is probably their equal. They ve filled their allocation but such is the Faithful's total ambivalence towards this minor London team, we still have many tickets spare. |
| Team selection will be interesting or not. We're still stretched personnel wise and I'd rather keep the powder dry for league games. I understand Cashin is still out which means our Captain Marvel will start along with our grandee stalwart - Fozzie. |
| Look, we should be comfortable with this game (gulp) and I certainly do not want a replay. Just do the job and come back injury free.Do we want to progress? It would be nice but more and more games 'ain't brilliant in our quest to get out of this league but lets just say if we win, I'll be happier for Wednesday. |
| Team news:- Wildsmith (GK), Forsyth, Hourihane, Barkhuizen, Bird, Collins, Mendez-Laing, Smith, Roberts, Davies (C), Knight |
| Subs:- Loach (GK), Cashin, Stearman, Thompson, Rooney, Dobbin, Robinson, Springett, Brown |
