Not the result I was looking for, a Wembley front two of Weiman and Jerome would have seen our back four in carpet slippers and smoking jackets., Mitrovic is a proper handful though.
Fulham deserve their day at Wembley.
Fulham ain’t been to Wembley since 1975!!That must be a record for a club that size. Any stats on other biggish clubs absence from Wembley?
Derby ran out of legs early in the second half and front line of Jerome and the wee man . think they did well to get this far.
I am actually happier that we would play Fulham in the final if we get through.I think at this stage it could go either way with any team on the day, so I didn't particularly see us as more likely to beat Derby. I just know that if we lose, Derby have Rowett and Jerome, which would make losing to them more painful on our return, whereas Fulham were actually 3rd, and I've always quite liked them, so I'd find it at least a little easier to be philosophical and wish them well.That said - I can't quite get my head around the fact that we have to do that thing we have just watched tomorrow, and hopefully again at Wembley in a couple of weeks. I have actually been through this process before but I had forgotten how nerve shreddingly horrible it is. I feel quite sick.

I can just about cope with big games if I have a couple of pints beforehand but I drive to Villa Park so am stone cold sober with undiluted nerves.
