Derby County 1 - 0 Bolton Wanderers

DERBY COUNTY v BOLTON WANDERERS League 1 #39

Saturday 15th March 2024, 1500 Pride Park Stadium, Derby,

A pleasing yet jittery win over Reading on Tuesday kept the sliver of daylight between us and third place.

But therein lies the crunch. We are now playing for that sliver of daylight on Saturday, win and we'll be up to mid-morning, draw we are at dawn, lose and we will be in the blue hour and very disappointed.

Some very good football was played on Tuesday - we should have been 3 up by half-time but of course we cannot be promoted on shouldas and couldavs.

It's nearly a sell out tomorrow - no seats together are available, all singles - so leave early - for the match that is. It's been designated black and white day, so wear black and white and be proud and shout loud. This isn't last chance saloon, we can still make the play-offs but if we get autos, think how much money you will save.......

Still, you never know.

Team: Wildsmith (GK), Forsyth, Hourihane (C), Cashin, Barkhuizen, Mendez-Laing, Sibley, Ward, Gayle, Adams, Nelson.

Subs: Loach (GK), Wilson, Waghorn, Smith, Thompson, Elder, Blackett-Taylor.

Happy Birthday Igor 🥃🥃🥃🇮🇪💚🇮🇪💚☘️

Absolutely Spart. QPR were fined after they beat us as Wembley. Around £40m I think but they earned £150m by going up. Its a mad system.

Six wins gets us promoted. Optimistic about beating Northampton but Blackpool would be tougher test, especially if you take into account the injuries.

Any update on Barks? Was mentioned on here he was injured.

Looking at our promotion rivals and form and Peterborough I'd say are our most dangerous rivals to pip us for automatic promotion. Their run in on paper is easier until last match of the season ( Portsmouth )

PW has certainly got the squad playing and deserves a lot of recognition for that. I've been critical of him mid season so more than happy to applaud him for when he's doing well. If only one of our match posters could appreciate Collins in the same way.

Looking forward to the weekend match!

Don't think we'll get any news on injuries until Thursday...if Barks is injured then it's a chance for someone else to step up... same with Reg really...

Apparently we received £11.3M for Tom Ince from Huddersfield according to Wiki 😮

Paid Huddersfield a handsome amount for Butterfield. Think they're still laughing at what we paid for that useless butterfly of a midfielder.

Cobblers have 2 international call ups for this weekend. Who’da thunk it? 🤷🏼

Were there no add ons? Thought it was more in the £7, £7.5 million region for a player worth no more than £1.5 ,- £2m at best. Pants pulled down to ankles.

Warne on JJ:

"Tyreece is back on the grass and he's training with Arsenal, but we hope we can have him back before the end of the season," he told DerbyshireLive.
