Bod confirmed out for the season with a calf injury

100%

Sadly these type of results have littered this campaign , especially the 2nd half of the season . Do we now rest some of the walking wounded for the play offs or play them to try and guarantee 3rd place ? .

Great finish

Absolutely bizarre

Directly after playing us to be honest , they are shithouses though and games against them have always seemed to be tight

Certainly frustrating, after the 5-0 loss yesterday I feel the last game against us would have been a dead rubber for them and would of seem them resting or rotating key players for the play offs . But that obviously meant us winning a consecutive number of games which we haven't done for a good while .

I've a funny feeling we will end up with Barnsley if has looks likely we end up in the play offs

All that I heard is that he's had the op a while ago , long job apparently

My thoughts exactly, must admit my heart sank when the change was made and I imagine Pompey were relieved with the change . Annoying now Collins is showing some form for him to be binned at a specific time , especially when chasing the game

The last 4 years it's almost a carbon copy of parts of the Phil Neal era , placings wise at least .

Collins is starting to look the part and is hitting the goals just at the right time , I'd have definitely have kept him on today though Paul especially with 1 goal potentially changing everything .

Agree regarding the play offs , feel much more confident after the last 6 performances, although I've got a horrible feeling we could end up with Barnsley over 2 legs and although they aren't playing well they are a team of shithouses who we generally struggle against. If we got 2 the final then I fancy us against anyone on our current form . Hopefully Derby slip up but I doubt it .

You conveniently forget they almost beat portsmouth away in between those games , They may well slip up but I'm afraid I can't see it and it's fucking frustrating because we deserved to win that today , but for me the Pendulum has swung to far now . Really hope you prove me wrong though .

Have you looked at Derby's fixtures ?

Just going to put in the results from the 1992/93 season run in , including the opponents league position when the fixture was played . Port Vale V Plymouth Argyle. ( pos 14th ) Away W 1-0 V Mansfield Town ( pos 22nd) Home W 3-0 V Exeter City ( pos 20th ) Away D 1-1 V Blackpool ( pos 17th ) Away W 4-2 Bolton W V Chester City ( pos 24th) Home W 5-0 V Bournemouth ( pos 16th ) Away W 2-1 V Hull City ( pos 18th ) Away W 2-1 V Stoke City ( pos 1st ) Home W 1-0 V Preston N.E (pos 21st) Home W 1-0 I seem to remember Bernie Slaven turning us down to join Port Vale in mid March , although 2 goals in 12 appearances ( including play offs) suggest we may have dodged a bullet

It's just what I read in a Bolton News article .

Hamstring

Sorry pal , just looked on the thread ,my bad . I rushed it on this morning while trying to gee everyone out of they're slumber before setting off for Bristol

Come on !!!

Without looking I seem to remember it being a record for away wins in a season , could be wrong though

A good point any other time but ultimately lacking yet again

I think they are saying Mendez Laing has done his Hamstring.

Definitely, lots of good football played to get in those positions but the final ball tends to get skied behind the goal . I hate short corners but I'd rather see some of those into the mix rather than the floated ball in that defenders just mop up ( if it beats the first man)
