Wednesday will be really up for it having just made the play offs, whereas Brighton or boro will be absolutely gutted on missing automatic promotion. Having said that, it didn't seem to affect us against Brighton 2 years ago. This is where the manager earns his pennies. The difference is we didn't just miss out on automatic promotion on the last day of the season. We already knew we were in the play-offs and had plenty of time to prepare.

Their home record is the best in the division. I can understand why they're the odds they are. Should they lose to Brighton then they'll still be favourites for the play-offs, but they won't be 1/6.

RadioactiveWaste Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 If Wednesday don't make the final, the team who beat them will have overcome a very good side and bitter disappointment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which for you is the harder to bare thinking about?? Is it allowing yourself to dream we win and spend the summer planning for the Premier League, getting linked with big name players, and then going toe-to-to with the big boys and aiming for Europe? Or where we lose and start all over again in the Championship and spend the summer trying to hang onto players like Hughes while planning trips to Burton and Rotherham...

admira Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 Nervous but then I didn't think we would beat them 4-0 or 2-0 either. If we 'turn up' we can beat anyone on the day. All the headlines coming out of Hull are positive and confident such as 'Curtis Davies: This is Hull City's best hope of promotion', 'It's time to seize our second chance says Robert Snodgrass, 'Peter Swan: Hull City midfield holds key to Derby County win'. From Derby we are getting 'Derby boss Darren Wassall: Hull are favourites for play-off semi-final ' and all of the pundits are against us, 'It will be a good side who beat Hull, says Neil Warnock'. Doesn't fill me with confidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayram Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 I'm quite optimistic about the Hull games - they have a good side but I think we have enough to take them over the two legs. Sheff Weds worry me though - if we make it to Wembley I'd rather play Brighton than them; just think Weds are the most difficult team of the three to break down. That said, on top form we are more than a match for any of them, so really looking forward to tomorrow, can't wait to get up there - COYR! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwram1973 Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 Unfortunately I think it'll be a Hull v Sheff Wed final. I think Brighton will bottle it again like they did with us in the playoffs and Wed are capable of beating anyone at the moment. We have already beaten Hull twice, can't see us doing it again. Hope I'm wrong, we need a positive result tomorrow to stand any chance. COYR!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mills_DCFC Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 When we were going into the play offs in 2014 I thought we were unstoppable and would definitely get promoted.... we all know how that turned out . This time I'm very nervous and have the feeling its not our year for some reason. I hope I'm very wrong! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stay positive and roar on the Rams, get behind them and believe. All we can do is encourage and hope our voices become that 12th man and spur them on. At the end of the day, what will be will be and the Rams will fight on another day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingsy1884 Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 From Saturday once all 6 teams were confirmed i was very optimistic. The week is taking its toll and the more i think about it the more i think that it is unlikely we can turn them over again. But like others have been saying i should probably wait for the game to progress then breakdown . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bcnram Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 I have no expectations, we get promoted then great. If we don't, then lets look forward to having another go next season. I will sleep well before and after the games. "El que serà, serà" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparkle Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 I am not nervous at all but I am realistic we are playing a very good team and to beat them over two legs we need to turn up twice and do our very best if we do that we have a very good chance ( I also have comfort in knowing that the championship looks very tasty next season) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kinder Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 I really think it's too close to call and depends which Derby turns up, and which Ull. What I do know is I've been pretty relaxed up until now and thinking if we don't go up, we're obviously not quite ready and we'll go again next season. But the closer it gets to kick off, the more I'm cacking myself. Properly cacking myself. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
