Likewise Hull on the last day of the season. Wouldn't it be typical that we need a win there to get 6th and it's Hull who yet again foil our plans. I did see they were the last game when the fixtures came out last June and wondered what situation we would be in. Well it’s a different battle that what has been usual for us, no mid table obscurity for us for a few seasons now during the main part of the season.

Or from a much more optimistic perspective- we go there and they still have an outside playoff place... Last minute winner for us- ending theirs and sealing 6th for us. Could it happen??

Surely three points in the bag . Just wondering, is there a rule that states we cant wear purple and lime for remaining home games?

Just can't quite see us building a 4 point gap to 7th between now and then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cidercity1987 Posted April 9, 2019 Report Share Posted April 9, 2019 Wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't for the shite reasons spouted, Derby back on form? A home win against Rotherham and an away draw against 14th, yeah right. Better form than us over 1 game? Nope. 1 point v 1 point Better form than us over 2 games? Nope. 4 points v 4 points Better form than us over 3 games? Nope. 7 points v 5 points Better from than us over 4 games? Nope. 8 points v 6 points Better form than us over 5 games? Ah quaking in my boots, 8 points v 9 points. They can continue that rich vein of 5 game form and we'll still be ahead of them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brentford have the 4th best home record in the division- a point there for most is a decent one gained. 6-1 always bolsters confidence too- but we are demonstrably in better form than them. Bit like us in reverse Brentford- you just look at the League table though, assume "Ah, Derby and maybe a factor managed by Frank Lampard v 14th- away win" Actually though, 4th best home record v 11th best away record...that kind of overall record shows a decent chance of a draw or a tough away game. Still they will write us off- let them, will make it all the sweeter if/when we defy their 'expertise'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hype...names. Was right about Rowett and though Lampard doing a solid job, the media will always gravitate towards the names or perhaps those known in the division.

Although the football league coverage on Sky is good, there is still an erring to the big clubs/names when it comes to making decisions - large number going for Sunderland and Pompey for example. In short - sod ‘em. One thing we are is better as underdogs and the more statements like these come out, the more I’m sure it’ll galvanise the team. Its when we’re expected to win there’s a problem!
