BessexRED Posted May 1, 2019 Report Share Posted May 1, 2019 Shame to have to have a moan tonight but another balls up from the club. I bet lots of people buoyed by that result would go to book the Hull game. But only they can’t, as the three unsold blocks aren’t on sale. Ridiculous.

Curr Avon Posted May 1, 2019 Report Share Posted May 1, 2019 Derby need to beat West Brom with Boro playing Rotherham. West Brom can still finish 3rd with a win. Despite the excitement of the final play off place fixtures, I still expect Sky will go with Villa at home to Norwich and Stoke hosting Sheffield United as their main live broadcasts. We'll be on red button. Well, it's the right colour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lew-T Posted May 1, 2019 Report Share Posted May 1, 2019 Can pretty much guarantee Derby will bottle that now. West Brom can finish 3rd so they have something to play for! Don’t think they would want to face Villa over two legs. As for Middlesbrough, Rotherham’s home form is surprisingly very good and the return fixture between the two sides was 0-0.

MarcusX Posted May 1, 2019 Report Share Posted May 1, 2019 Odds of just over 5/2 for a treble of double chance Hull/Draw, double chance Derby/draw and Boro to win - if anyone wants to balance out the emotional pain. I’ve made a fair amount backing Wednesday and Derby recently so might go all or nothing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Up The City! Posted May 1, 2019 Report Share Posted May 1, 2019 West Brom will go for it. As it stands they will play Villa, if I was them I'd be hoping to finish 3rd and play whoever finishes 6th. Derby will also have to go for it. I can see it being a 4-3 type of game. When Derby went for it tonight they were vulnerable and in truth Swansea could have nicked it. As we know from experience with West Brom. They are very deadly on the counter. It's the Boro game that worries me more, oh and the fact we have to win.

MartockRed Posted May 1, 2019 Report Share Posted May 1, 2019 What are the chances? We obviously have to win at Hull but if you omit that, WBA to win and Middlesbrough fail to win is about 6/1 If we can win it’s a roll of a dice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Extacly. 2 were part of a very leaky defense for the past few season and one who I had a feeling had a one off season, although out of the 3 I'd only have Bobby back Next season will depend highly on if we can get Kalas and Dasilva and a striker and possibly a midfielder depending if Smith can get back. I've got a feeling we'll scrap into 6th. Derby and Middlesbrough both losing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flagon Posted May 1, 2019 Report Share Posted May 1, 2019 Boro appear to have the easiest game but like others have said that pressure can do all sorts of things. They know they have to win so go a goal down out the blue and their minds could be all over the place with the form they've been in. Derby cannot risk playing for a draw unless Rotherham somehow are smashing Boro and they get to know of it. But even then, its a massive risk letting West Brom have the game and try to soak the pressure up. They won't exactly be relishing having to have the mindset of having to win at West Brom to guarantee it. Then it's just the small matter of us doing it. But rest assured if we can go ahead that will filter through to Boro and Derby and the pressure will be massive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, I was expecting a gentle cruise to 14th. Safely tucked up in Mid-table by March. Instead we have amassed our highest points total at this level since 2007/08, guaranteed a highest placed finish since 2007/08, and still have a chance of exceeding the end result of 2007/08...I think that's a success.

He can’t come back to us as it would screw him up mentally and some of the same players would be in the dressing room. Never go back imo, at least at this level.. An old warhorse returning to their 2nd division old club after a distinguished career higher up the leagues maybe. Not at this level for me.
