Derby will go 2-0 up inside 10 minutes and then we can all spend the rest of our weekend thinking ahead to the playoffs vs Blackpool who sneak in. š

Wish we would identify things like this in game and change our system to counteract it. No idea why we donāt bring off a defender and bring on an extra forward player rather than doing what we did last night which was bring Dempsey off, play Collins in behind Charles and Nlundulu. Forrester had a stinker, was like watching Aimson in possession again. Spare man constantly doing nothing with it. If weād brought on Randell for him, we could have had Collins and him on the wings and had a different element to our game.

Fair points and I do agree, why would you leave when you could get a payout by digging your heels in? I do think the board have treated him exceptionally well though and I think not getting promoted would really damage his ego and he may want a break. For that reason I do think thereās a chance in this instance he could walk. I do hope I get to see him shed some tears of joy upon promotion. These last few years must have really taken it out of him. Trying to rally yourself to go again after going close to promotion twice in a row would not be an easy task. Whereas promotion would spur him on and incentivise him. I think itās Playoffs for us at this point. I think we will get to the final where we will either win 5-0 or go out with a whimper in a drab 1-0 loss. Donāt even want to think about penalties.

Happy with the job Evatt has done and wouldnāt mind him for another year if we fail to go up. Stability is an underrated commodity in football. Heās a good manager, not yet shown himself to be excellent though. But do you want to risk starting from scratch with a new man? I feel he Evatt needs this promotion for the fan baseās support in general. Heās had 3 seasons to build a team capable of League 1 promotion and too often weāve been lacking in important games and moments. Some bad luck yes - but when itās happening consistently it is difficult to keep taking it. The Wigan defeats, the Blackpool loss, the Derby loss. Dont think last season was our ātimeā to go up. Seemed written in the stars for Sheffield Weds, but this year weāve had an easier league and Evatt has built this team with substantial funding and backing. I wouldnāt be surprised if he walked before he was pushed should we fail to go up.

Shite football on show this but Derby should have scored at least once

Didnāt think I could handle the playoff stress last year and ended up being two utterly boring games. I was just generally pissed off rather than having experienced some sort of emotional roller coaster, which is what I had been expecting. I really hope we get autos obviously but if we are in the playoffs then I hope itās at least more exciting this time. Saying that, I will happily take the most tedious 3 games ever if we go up.

Great result for us today, only 4pts behind Derby and Mendez Laing for them is now injured. Derby have to play Blackpool then Portsmouth back-to-back. Portsmouth still have to play Derby, us away and Barnsley at home. 4 home games out of the 7 total remaining. Still time for redemption. Be a few more twists and turns left. 5 wins puts us on 89 points. Need a winning run now, have to believe it's possible. Praying the lads can pick themselves up and prove the doubters wrong. If we get promoted this season and England win the Euros, could be the best summer you'll have for a while!

Decent performance, awful result gutted
-
Fair point, but Dion has missed his fair share of sitters too, see Pompey (A)
-
If he can get his head straight again sure
-
Miles clear of Ogbeta imo Ashworth done alrifht lately
-
. Baxter . Toal Santos Iredale Jones Sheehan Williams . Maghoma. Thomason . Victor. Collins. to see us out to the end of the season please
-
Take a point all day after being 2-0 down but really shouldāve won that. A weird positive for me is Cogleyās injury. Was class start of the season but him and Jones on the right have been doing fucking nish lately and theyāve been arguing every game. Jones RWB for a while could actually be a blessing in disguiseā¦
-
Because we got one goal on the counter and now theyāre sitting off and letting us play
-
Too many touches as soon as he gets into the box there he shouldāve pulled the trigger why let the keeper close the space so much
-
Would love to see what him and Santos would be like as a back 2, in a 4-3-3 at some point
-
Pogba banned for 4 years for doping lol

šš revisiting my post from early january. 12 games left to go on a good run to propel us into the auto spots seems unlikely now given that we have to play all of the other current top 7 teams
-
Chances I can remember are 1. Toal 30 yarder 2. Toal free header 3. Lofted ball to Maghoma in first half on right hand side. Shot blocked from 7 yards. 4. Ogbeta shooting near post in second half when he shouldāve crossed it for Victor 5. one or two low crosses that got blocked. On another day wouldāve fallen to one of our players but didnāt. 6. Sheehan free kick that went just wide so we did have chances to score but absolutely nothing for Victor or Collins and nothing for JDB and Jerome when they came on. And only 2 of those were from open play
-
Evatt saying post match that we dominated the ball and dictated the tempo of the game is such a nothing comment. We dictated the tempo because they literally camped in a low block and hoped for a smash and grab, which worked. You simply cannot use that as a positive when there was no intention from the opposition to contest us dictating the tempo.

Allowed ourselves to be sucker punched by doing fuck all with the ball in good positions for 90 mins. Rigid and structured in possession is all well and good until the final third when you need someone to take a risk. Shite
