Coppell has been vocal in his condemnation of playing away from home after an international game before this season and was spared the inconvenience this week after Derby won through to round five of the FA Cup.[LNB]He said: "I am certainly pleased not to be playing after this international break.[LNB]"We would have had quite a journey on the roads again and that's eight out of the last nine international breaks when our next game has been away from home.[LNB]"It makes a difference so in a way I'm pleased not to be playing. If I was going to lose a fixture it would have been this one and it helps with the travelling."[LNB][LNB]
