Was it ever said whether Faes was actually injured or just couldn't be arsed with it? 

What are the options otherwise? Surely we aren't going to actually start Skipp at centre back?

Sadly dizzy. Probably back in on Saturday alongside Festergaard

Needed stitches apparently. Big gash on his head.

[Foxes1]

Any truth in the rumour Faes may need to play in a protective mask because of a facial injury, I propose this one. 

[Aus Fox]

Sat out the back this evening @Ric Flairand the BSLB with a couple of VBs, and it inspired me, so hopefully we can have a word with Twycross and get a couple of loans in.

But where's the mask?

[Grebfromgrebland]

Would like to see Paige and Monga back for this and we must also consider Jake Evans at least he knows where the back of the net is and has experience of scoring goals.

 

We were actually winning games when we played our youth mixed with the older heads since they've been dropped we've looked worse than ever and conceded more and scored less.

Rumour has it what was left of his brain fell out

Until the first goal is conceded maybe.

[Tommy G]

I sit about 3ft away from a Rams fan - great. 

[Sol thewall Bamba]

This is going to be horrendous. Our gutless mercenaries will fold as soon as Derby have a decision go their way or their fans sing a couple of their football league rentatunes.  

[Richmondfox]

Vesty in the team and nothing will change. Unless he stops slowing everything down.

Page and James as a double pivot is madness. 

[Sharpe's Fox]

Skipp and Soumare to start and look like prime Petit and Viera. Remember this post.

[CrazyKopCorner]

Am I being a snowflake to say I'm dreading this one. 

 

This lot will buckle under the 1st sign of any pressure and will be 2 or 3 down by half time again

Should start with the team that played the majority of the 2nd half against Sheff United - actually reward the good play

 

Begovic

 

Ricci

Skipp

Vesty

Thomas

 

Soumare

James

 

Fatawu

Bobby

Mavididi

 

Ayew

 

Aluko needs to be on the bench, he can not be banished. Page and Monga also need to be on the bench and we need to get the youth involved

 

I'm shocked I'm suggesting playing Skipp and Soumare, I never thought I would pick them in my starting 11 ever again, but truth my told we had a decent 2nd half against Sheff United

 

My opinion is that are squad does have talent (as seen for about 5% of the time), but 95% of the time they just can't be bothered - and that is collective, not just 1 or 2 players.

If the players can't be bothered in a derby match on Saturday, then it proves they have true disdain for the club and we should be looking at a mass squad overhaul in January (My god, I don't really want to know what Rudkin and Glover sign next, but I suppose James has been decent so 1 out of 5 of the summer window has been useful) and Marti needs to go as clearly the players are not playing for him either

Sadly don’t think we’ll see Evans till the FA cup

Ayew? 

[ronnup]

4-1 humbling 

[Gazza M]

Would like to see a back 4 of 

 

Ricardo   Souttar Nelson  Aluko

 

However dont think we will see until end of Dec/Jan as Souttar needs to ease his way back. 

 

So think Vesty will continue and expect Nelson to come back. Faes and the mask can sit it out for 60 mins.
