The right choice. Delph and Vlaar on the bench

[leylandalbion]

That's a strong bench....struggle to see why herd would be ahead of Robinson though

Nzog starts and  Weimann on the bench.
Nice to have Delph available

[eamonn]

Nah, Delph for Rico, even at 80 per cent.

[Toronto Villa]

I want to see another solid performance. Derby matches are unpredictable so expecting a win IMO goes out of the window. It would be nice off course, but real evidence of improvement in our play is a big first request for me. Keep the ball, knock it around, create chances. We have one of the top forwards in the PL up front, lets get him the ball in dangerous areas. We are better than this lot and if we play like we can, like we have seen (all too infrequently) then we can definitely win today. We have to earn it.

Strange that Robinson doesn't make the bench considering we recalled him.

Id have gone with Delph and Weimann and had Zog and Richardson on the bench. We've handed them the initiative I fear.

we've handed them the initiative by not playing Weimann and Delph? Where do you come up with this stuff?

Stranger still is the selection of N'Zogbia, possibly the last player I would think of playing in a derby.

He tore them apart in the first half 2 years ago, so fingers crossed he remembers how to play like that.

I think it's on WM, but don't think you can listen to WM online, you may need to use a real radio.
