Re: We Must Beat-a-borough - Away v Peterborough, Sat Apr 27th 12:30

If Derby have a limited bunch of players, they need to ask why their wage bill is easily the highest in the division. But hey-ho How many of derbys players would you pick in our first 11? Their manager and their organisation is worth a lot of points to them. I have absolutely no doubt about that. I...

Re: We Must Beat-a-borough - Away v Peterborough, Sat Apr 27th 12:30

H/T, 2-0. I fancy us against any of the potential play-off opponents, whether home, away, or at the National Stadium. You don't come within a single result of 2nd without being a good side at this level, and we've proven on a number of occasions that there's daylight between us and the chasing back ...

A three-goal win is the very minimum we need if Derby somehow blow it. Get a third, then sit back - Boro aren't going to chase the game from that position.

Re: The Nostradamus file....

Whatever decision Evatt makes will be the wrong one, unless we go up, by some miracle.. If we go weaker and Derby lose, he'll get panned If we go full strength and Derby win, he'll get panned Automatic promotion is a 100/1 shot, so I think it's pretty clear that the right decision is to not take an...

Er. Could be corrected this next weekend, but we haven't beaten Peterborough either...

Or are you just referring to the teams that could finish 5th or 6th?

Re: Breaking pots... Home v Port Vale Sat 20th Apr. 3-0'Clock.

We need to get a finishing coach or something though. Never seen a side miss so many sitters. The one with the post is unbelievable! We woul have some compilation of misses this season. Easy to say that, but it's actually much more difficult than it appears to finish that. The bounce of Charles is ...

Re: Breaking pots... Home v Port Vale Sat 20th Apr. 3-0'Clock.

Very much depends on if the players have had a good long look at themselves over the last couple of days. Got to win as much for goodwill as anything else. Port Vale are going to battle, but the teams around us have put them comfortably to the sword recently - we need to do the same.

Re: Re: Twixt Cups and Lips. Home to Shrewbury Town, Tuesday Apr 16th 7-45.

Interesting. I was under the impression that every single one of players was a non-league carthorse/pub player. Now it's an excellent squad doing it all in spite of an out-of-his-depth manager.

Curious.

Rumours circulating at the ground that JDB is out. Ankle. Could be done until the play-off final.

Geth Jones supposedly the other new addition to the physio table.

Re: Cups and Lips. Home to Shrewbury Town, Tuesday Apr 16th 7-45.

The hows and the whys matter not. Must win.

A proper spanking would do wonders for three things, though - 1) our goal difference, 2) our confidence, 3) potentially instilling a bit of "oh-God-that-train-is-coming-up-behind-really-effing-QUICK" fear into Derby...

The world is full of "coulda been a contenders." They're the ones that didn't. Let's give 'em a badge for trying. I was just saying that the margins have been finer than they appear over the course of the season. There's no doubt that we'll finish where we deserve to finish - but today's game, for ...

Thought the decision to start Gethin cost us the goal fwiw.
But not slating them how they played / tried today.
Bold claim indeed, considering the goal came from a breakdown between Ogbeta and Sheehan, then Kamara driving towards Toal.

Jones had nothing to do with it.

Re: Getting hairy: Portsmuff at home 13/4/24 3pm KO

Thought we were very good. There's not a lot to choose between the two sides, but we were better than them today. Should have come away with three points, which is mildly frustrating, but I can't say I'm too disappointed with the result. We're back to needing Cambridge and/or Carlisle to do us a fav...

Orient are still in with a (very) outside chance of playoffs. Totally out of their hands, like, but I can see them being well up for their match vs Derby. Course, we've got the hardest match of the weekend, against a Pompey side for whom victory could seal the whole damn season. But we've no need to...

Re: Race to the tape: 2024's League One promotion campaign

Cant see Derby dropping anymore points. Thought Wycombe away for them would be our best bet, but with them losing the final, it will be hard for them to pick themselves up having nothing to play for now. Arguably our best bet is for them to drop points against Leyton Orient or Wycombe. Trouble is, ...

Portsmouth lead 3-1. Fortunately, if things stay as they are, they cannot be mathematically promoted against us.
Might want to rethink that.

They can get mathematically promoted by beating us. A draw wouldn't do it.
That's what I meant :D
