Will Derby really do us a favour?

Some fans are pretty certain, I'm sceptical, they've lost 4 of their last 5, including Sunderland and Burton.

Having a read up on their last game v Boro, fans were saying they were flat, had no spark up front, midfield was missing, and some very odd subs from Rowett.

Only saving grace, is that this really is the last chance for Derby to cement theirselves in the playoffs, so, I'm hoping they raise their game.

Agreed, I think automatic is a fantasy and Cardiff will have it wrapped up before we go to Birmingham. Just getting ready to lose to Brentford in the play offs! Hey, not like I can be disappointed being this pessimistic can I?!

Their defence is awful so I wouldn't bank on it.

I can't see Derby getting a result to be honest, think they have already peaked this season and are on their way down.

Would love to be proven wrong of course.

Derby County first and foremost will be trying to do themselves a favour, they have to. Otherwise a promising season is going to end in tears for them if they do not turn over warlocks outfit.
Let's not forget that Cardiff are not blowing teams away, far from it, they are just grinding out results which could come to a sudden halt v Derby County. As I feel Derby will give it their best shot as they have to, as well as the fact that in absence of any snow, there is no loved lost.
I just cannot see Warlock achieving a win at Derby.
So it's all still up for grabs until it's mathematically impossible.

I think Hull will be harder than Derby....

I think so too but we need Derby to find something in themselves to rescue their season and keep our quest for 2nd as a possibility.  We just need them to avoid defeat.  Come on you Rams.

Then we are all Hull supporters.  Hull's last 2 games?  Cardiff (h) and Brentford (a).

Derby are borderline pathetic and I have no idea why they loaned out Chris Martin again. Every year they seemed to forget the season carries on after Xmas.

I think your right, maybe Derby will soften them up by getting any kind of result, and Hull will finish them off.
Two defeats for Warlock will have him raging at the fourth officials for 90 mins.

I'm not expecting a Derby win but can see a draw.
I think Hull will do a number on Cardiff and open the door for us.
Cardiff will destroy Reading.

We need six points from the next two games as "we're on our way".

Not sure if I dreamt it, but wasn't there a suggestion we were to sign Richard Keogh last year?  Just the thought of it...

Derby is bottling it like Leeds last year. I don't think, there're making the playoffs. If we are lucky, they draw against Cardiff.

After Norwich and Nottingham Forest giving up late goals and giving Cardiff points, I have no hope in anyone to do us a favor. I fear 3rd place and a rocky playoff picture.
Someone once asked me, "Why Fulham?".
My response, "Well, lad, you just haven't seen the light yet"

In worst case we'll lose everything: playoffs, our best players and the manager.
And you know: that's football!

Then we are demooD. 😡💀☠️👻🆘

If that is the case, we just sell Sess and TC and do a Wolves with the 70 mill we'd get.

I genuinely think, Sess, TC, Fredricks, StefJo and Slav would leave at a minimum if we don't go up.

Obviously the much more enjoyable route would be playing in the prem with them.

If we get into the play offs we should be less nervous than the other teams as we know what to expect. The only other team that has experience of the play offs is Millwall. I would put money on us as long as we make it to Wembley as the bigger pitch will suit our game better that the rest of them. I am not holding my breath for the welsh lot

i dont think so , with the luck cardiff are having all season i expect them to win 1-0 or score in the final second

colinwhite

Warnock has managed to get the Derby right up for that game . sweet justice if his mouth should cost them dearly.
