If the automatic promotion picture is not settled by then, Sky will show Derby v Carlisle I’m sure. What about Cambridge v Derby? Has anyone watched a non Sky game in a Derby pub recently?

Cambridge 0-1 Derby, Collins

Waggy at Posh, great team goal and finish 👏

That 1968/69 tier 2 89 points equivalent from only 42 games was an amazing season, well over 2 points per game average. Decent manager then of course!

Is it a tiny bit harsh to suggest that Mel had had a couple of tinctures before his chat on the Pitch at HT?

The 12 months to February, so the last 2 transfer windows plus any extensions and out of contract players. This would include CBT.

This time of the season is about nerve more than anything else I think. At kick off everyone’s fine, then when we haven’t scored by half time the nerves take affect second half. Fortunately Wycombe didn’t score so we got a point. Tomorrow we need either to get a first half lead or have the least nervous players on second half. Two players I think could have an impact tomorrow are Waghorn, who’s done late season heroics before, and Fornah, who I expect will relish the situation given his lack of minutes recently. Cashin played well, especially going forward, Adams and Nelson were great as usual, Wildsmith made a strong save late doors, few others came out with much credit especially in the second half. I just hope we score first half! With a lead at half time I can see the players focusing on not conceding much more easily than trying to chase the game. The good news is our home results have picked up recently. I worry about Cambridge away but one game at a time…

Derby 1-0 Orient, Collins

Wycombe 0-1 Derby, Collins

I have a feeling CBT will get a goal in the last 4 games, he’s improved with each game recently, so could be him?

Clarke was a centre back on loan from Brighton, good player.

Agreed, Nelson and Cashin for me

Potential Championship players for me: Wildsmith, Nyambe, Wilson, Ward, Nelson, Cashin, Rooney, Adams, Mendez-Laing, Blackett-Taylor, Gayle.

I was there, great night, amazing atmosphere, wild celebrations 👍

I suspect it will be 433 leaving 3 decisions in my view with the same goalkeeper and back 4. The midfield 3 should be Adams, Smith and either Hourihane or Thompson. The 2 wide players should be Mendez-Laing and either Ward or Blackett-Taylor. The centre forward should be either Collins or Washington. I think Warne will go Hourihane, for his experience, Ward, as potentially better defensively and at crossing, and Collins, as the most likely goal threat. Tough on Blackett-Taylor maybe but he will likely feature as a substitute. Thompson probably didn’t do enough starting at Northampton and Washington probably didn’t do enough starting against Blackpool. I would take a point right now!

His name is Elder, it was a bad joke

Too old

A few have mentioned that Reading got exactly what they deserved, nothing. Never mind the red card and the penalty, without either it’s quite likely we would have scored again anyway, there was a long time left in the game. Also, when they foul like they do a red card is always a risk. And we had the ball in their penalty area much more, so again a penalty to us was always possible if you give the ref a decision to make. Their keeper “did a Wildsmith” and refs do give those it seems, we’ve had at least two given against us this season. A fully deserved 3 points and we move on. A point for Reading would have been a steal.

Two home games ago we lost to Charlton, I would be amazed if there is any consideration of resting players for the Reading game

Derby 1-0 Reading, Mendez-Laing
