The Derby locals are very unhappy about their fixture congestion before they visit Fratton Park.
DCFC drew at Torquay yesterday, they visit Liverpool on Wednesday in the League Cup, followed by MK Dons away on Saturday and now have the Torquay replay on Tuesday....... then they visit FP on Friday 18th! That's 5 games in 12 days.
In contrast we played Hereford, have 8 days rest until we play Morecambe then 6 days rest before Derby visit us! That's 3 games in 14 days.

I would think they will rest a lot of players for the Torquay game

You'd think so but it seems the more rest we get, the worse we play!
Exactly what I was thinking.

Doesn’t normally make much difference how many games people play
We’ve already played less games than most.
Must be something else then!
