and also BAE has somehow got into the Cameroon squad (as did Mbia), guess the country isnt a hotbed for semi decent left backs then

You have to remember he is with us on loan so by the end of the month he will be back to his parent club. It depends on whether we go up, wheter Harry will still be here and whether he will be offered a contract.

Good interview with him here:

"I think we have the character, the experience and the quality to win the game.

There is no favourite. The team that wants it more on the day and the team which shows more guile is going to go to the Premier League.

We respect Derby very much and especially their manager, who worked with us at the beginning of the season. He knows how to set his teams up

Outside of the two sides who got promoted, us two have played the best football and deservedly came into the final of the play-offs. It will be a tough match. We respect Derby very much and especially their manager, who worked with us at the beginning of the season. He knows how to set his teams up.

It is going to be a big day and it is a one-off game. You play football and live for massive and important games. It's a fantastic stadium to play in and a fantastic game to be involved in.

We have the talent and the ability and we showed character and desire, which is the most important thing in football. That is what won us the game.

I'm happy and delighted with the way the whole team performed. The subs who came on were tremendous. Bobby Zamora played a massive part in us winning and it shows you we have a real togetherness in the team."
