Dion in for Bod not for me at this point 

Don't know how you can change the front 2 whilst we are winning and in the last 2 games they've scored 6 between them 

We spent the last half hour with absolutely nothing up front and the ball just returning back. 

We need Dions energy up there if nothing else.

Id derby do lose one, 3 wins and a draw would do it, i reckon

So basically you're saying we'll end up with a better GD than them? Despite the teams they have left to play?

Can't see it. They'll score 5 on the final day is more likely unless the relegated Carlisle players feel they're playing for a contract or a transfer.

However if we win every game and they draw or lose one we're in.

Think you’ve nailed it. Bring him on to chase later on.

I think we'll score a few against Shrewsbury and Vale.

Peterborough will be playing their 7th game in 20 days against us. If there's nothing riding on it, will they want to match our intensity?

C won pen.

He did that brilliantly btw the wiley old fox.

Knew he was never darting towards goal and doing him for pace so checked slightly outside and took the tackle.

Can't teach that shit.

Correct. That tackle really wouldn't have knocked my wife over. He played for it a treat.

Imagine him coming off the bench for the last 30mins, he would terrorise any defence

Posh still have aspirations for an automatic spot so potentially they might have to beat us on the final day to get it - but there's a helluva lot of water to go under the bridge before that scenario can happen.

Interesting comments

- Praise for CJ, not just for the impact he’s had coming on winning penalties, but also off the pitch.

- Collins too, quality we’ve needed.

- Baxter his influence.

but worryingly;

- Santos Calf 

- Sheehan’ knock on his hip

Just had a nosey on the Derby forum, they are nervous. 

 

I am nervous 

 

Bloody love football. 

Yes. I’ve just had a little lurk on that forum. They’re shitting themselves looking over their shoulders at us. 
 

Which is nice. 😊

A week off for them.

Hopefully get the soreness out.

At least we now have a good selection of replacements for Santos if needed.

From where I was stood, I think Santos indicated he wanted to go off, Taylor & Forrester never stopped warming up after it

He ended taking a couple of tablets and carrying on

I'd be starting with Bod and Collins, which is working well as a partnership, and easing Charles back in with 25-30 min bursts as the 'finisher'

Yeh worrying that.

But as @Tonge moor green jacket says, option 1, week off, minor injury clears up. Option 2 replacements back and ready to go
