It looks like it’s between us and Preston.
I know the other playoff teams would rather it where Preston.
It’s looks like being a strong play off line up if we make it.
I’d love Cardiff as I think they are the weakest team in the top six.
But we can beat anyone in this league.
Just hope we don’t bottle it like we did against Reading.
I don’t think we will as we have fought back this time to give ourselves a chance whereas we just whimpered away like a smacked puppy that season.

Is that not because they have a tiny ground?

Same at Bournemouth in the PL.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yes mate and the same Derby fans who want Burton to stay up moaned at the fact Bournemouth are in the prem.

That little ground at bmth is advantage to them and supporters tucked in corner with crap view.

Worth 10 points minimum.

Tbf to Bournemouth they are building a new stadium. They wanted to increase Dean Court but there has been some issues with the landlord so should be having a new stadium at Kings fields

Yep but got to be careful with local support it would be half empty in the champo.

My sister lives in Stretton and supports the Brewers. They will prob go down but hope not.

UTV

If we draw next week, PNE have to win by 10 clear goals to finish 6th.

Have Burton ever lost 10-0?

No but they will next week.

Morning all. Well apart from Villa equalizing near the end, today's results pretty much couldn't have gone any better. I'm still wary that we are able to compete and get points against the team's around us but sh!t the bed against relegation fodder, and next week we need a result against a team that themselves needs a result to stay up. Hopefully we have learned our lesson after Sunderland and Burton, and hopefully Rowett will keep on with the new formation and take it to Barnsley instead of going back to the old cautious one to try and grind out a draw.

Belated happy birthday Harps.

FB didnt notify me

Or maybe you've blocked me

Thanks Igor. No I actually think I turned off my setting to have it notify everyone as I get fed up real quick of my phone constantly going off with messages from well wishers.

Sounds like you need to inform the local fire brigade before you light the candles Harps?

At least you need a big cake to fit then all on top.

Well my boy had his 3rd birthday 4 days before mine so we just had a combined family party where he took all the limelight and I got a bit drunk, which was fine by me.

Harps

Fine young fella ya have.

Take care and come on our beloved Rams

He really is. Couldn't be more proud of him.

Are the folks still over?

We rode our luck, but Jerome will be having nightmares about the header straight at the goalie in the first half.

Yeah they leave today, pretty bummed out about it, it's hard being so far away from them.

Ah well, you can FaceTime them when they arrive back here sometime on Thursday

I do video them quite often but it's not the same.

Highlights for the fellow exiles

Griff hit a great point earlier, whoever misses out on 3rd are going to be gutted and whoever is in 6th can take heart from that.

For that I hope it's Fulham.

If it's us and Villa/Boro final, give me Villa in a one off.

Just great to be still in it with a game to go.

Dogs haven't even a relegation battle to worry about so at least they still have some other team/s to cheer on for the rest of the season.

Well, in fact the team that finishes third is most likely to get promoted based on the stats since play-offs began. The idea that they are too heartbroken to perform is a bit of a myth. Third are most likely to go up, then fourth, then fifth and sixth. Nearly 40% of the time the team finishing third goes up. It’s twice as likely as the team finishing sixth.

So we are up against it if we get there, but it ain’t impossible.

See ya next season dogs

Mornin' y'all

Can't leave it like this

Go on 700.
