OK hands held high! I was one of those maoning about team selection last week. I felt that Sibley, Whittaker and Knight should have been with the Under-19's in the UEFA Youth League and a stronger team put out in the FA Cup v Manchester United.
Cocu proven right though with his selection as Sibley was actually suspended from the Under-19 game and played very well in the cup game.
Sunday afternoon I wasn't in a confident mood prior to the game with Blackburn. No Holmes, Lawrence or Rooney!
Enter Louie Sibley into the ten role and the rest is history. An excellent game where we destroyed Blackburn who were looking at gatecrashing the top six had they beaten us.
A fantastic 3-0 victory now sees us only five points outside that play-off zone! How crazy is this division?
Feet need to be kept on the ground this weekend though with a visit to Gary Rowett's Millwall. The Lions destroyed our near rivals last Friday night and Rowett has certainly had a decent start at The New Den.
If the game should survive the Coronavirus scores its a game where we will need to be patient and try and not succumb to the well known tactics of Rowett. He's a wily old Fox and I'm sure every single Rams fan will want to put one over on him.
