1-2
Have calmed down from yesterday's game and am now feeling surprisingly positive about friday's game. As someone had mentioned, this is probably the wake up call the team and fans needed.
No reason we cant bounce back. In a way I am glad the unbeaten streak is over. Sometimes its good to get a kick in the pants. I think our side and our manager has the character to get a result at Derby.
1-1, Vydra and Johansen.
Draw 2-2
1-3 Sess, Mitro, and Big Mac with another worldie ala Millwall.

I agree.. it'll be that sort of game! Very similar to the home game we played V Reading in playoffs where TC scrambled a goal back but we were never really flowing or in control.
Derby 0-2 Fulham
I definitely think we need to get a result away, preferably a win, as I deduce that the return leg at Craven Cottage will be a biblical and epic spectacle, and the winner takes all.
We won't be as bad as we were against Brum but will start nervous and slow again I'd imagine. Will take a draw at their place. 1-1.
We cannot afford to have an indifferent start v Derby, there is far too much at stake. If we cannot start well on this occasion then there is clearly a problem with the make up of the team and the mental philosophy of the manager who is the one man who sends them out on the field of battle.
The last time we lost, it was followed by a slim away win.
So I am going to say 0-1.
Draw for me.
We are Done,,,,,,,Derby are on a high, we will be playing Millwall next season.........

No we are not done, we still have a game this Friday.
Try checking the schedules.
If we play as we have been playing than 2-0 to Derby. But if we can generate some form and the coach can move things about a bit instead of playing players who are not fit or who are not bothered. If any are. Than we can win 3-1.
Even though I'm currently still trying to buy tickets for friends and family from our ****ing useless ticket office, my gut instinct is that the tie will be all over after the first leg with Derby winning comfortably,
They have the momentum and good form and we've been losing ours in instalments from April 1st.
On our day we have the beating of Derby but after the past few slow starts, dropping points against Bentford.. Losing to Brum showed the team they were not invincible.
Let's hope that mindset doesn't set in and they come out quick from the blocks attacking Derby from the off. So desperately need an away goal or two.

I fear you may be right
I won't predict the score but if we are feeling sore this morning then so are the players. They will be up for this game and we will not lose.
Well some of you are pure rays of sunshine aren't you! I got my ticket from our always helpful ticket office and am looking forward to seeing the second leg with The Whites defending the 2-0 lead from the first leg.
We have been fortunate with injuries for most of our record run but I feel this good may have come to an end.
Are Targett and Fredericks going to be fully fit for Friday , I suspect not, we will miss them.

We have one good replacement in Christie. If both are unfit then I guess we also drop Sessegnon back. We can then pick from; AK, Ayite, Piazon and Fonte for. The wide forward roles. My preferences would not include the latter two!
It's just about manageable but leaves precious little on the bench.
If Targett isn't available would rather Odoi plays LB and Kalas CB. Targett was clearly not fit and I think that cost us.
2-0 to Derby In the home game we will lose 0 - 2.
End of our dreams of promotion for this season.
I am not sure about our chances for next season . Due to the players we may have to sell.
Although FFC are on offer at 1/2 & Derby 2/1, I fancy a draw in the 1st leg.

I'd cry
Since when was Fredericks injured? Thought he got took off for having a shocker.
The thing that worries me the most is that it's only two days of rest before the home game. If Targett, Kebano and Ojo are still out there's not a lot of depth to rotate. If anyone else gets injured or aren't fully recovered from the away game we could be in trouble. Derby seems to have a lot more depth and I'll be surprised if they start the same 11 in both games.

Bit negative, I think we will score and lose 3-1

My preference would be not to even consider Fonte at all, easy to be negative at the moment but what can Christie offer, Fred's seems to have gone off the boil maybe thinking about pastures new, if we get to the play off final I think that will be as good as the "former" unbeaten run.
Good grief, we have just ended a 23 game unbeaten run and we get all this doom and gloom, imagine if we were fighting relegation.
Fulham to win 3.1.
We will fight back.
And i would like to go to Wembley
0-2 ... Cairney and Piazon

I agree sadly. We are now suffering a bit with weak quality in depth.
You have to assume that Derby will look at getting a lead at home which they can defend at CC. Through the whole of the season, this would fill me with confidence. Come at us, and we will pick you off.
I've got a feeling this will happen. I think the only thing that has changed since we had our run against the top 5 teams in the championship is that teams aren't playing to beat us first, they have come to stop us first. It's been our Achilles heel for two seasons.
Looking like Barcelona against Villa and Wolves and then looking lost against QPR is not a coincidence. I hope Derby take us on and we get space. If they do, I see excatly the same result as last time 1-2.

Totally agree. I can see us beating Derby if they try to play for the win, which they have to do.
I can't believe the negativity on here!
1-2. Goals scored as followed: Sess, Mitrovic, Jerome
Cometh the hour, Cometh the team.
0-5...only because Sky gave me a FREE £5 BET and I put it on Fulham 5+ goals for Fridays game...66/1!
If it happens it should pay for a ticket to the Final :)

Have a little sympathy for the Ticket Office they must have a huge task on their hands this week.
Sorry fellers, but like others on here, I fear we have shot our bolt.
Derby 2-0 win.
Followed by 1-0 for us at home or more probably 1-1.
But Derby will lose to boring Villa in the final.
Ho hum
