That’s a few weeks before I moved to Derby. Didn’t start supporting them til 1987. 
Surely the ref should have stopped the game and insisted the fans get back in the stands. 

I wonder if there are any rules to prevent Posh putting out their second string, even U18.

If we can't beat Carlisle at home then we don't deserve to go up anyway to be blunt.

What’s that got to do with the price of bread? 

It’s not Derby are a bigger club or anything, is it? 😂

I think that the Derby odds are the bookies being a bit over cautious, it would be interesting to see what our odds are for not making the autos. Remember, we probably need to win one game out of two and that's not a given in this league, as both Cambridge and Carlisle have got results against top teams this season.

So did Leyton Orient. They won 3-0 at Fratton Park. Literally nothing is a given.

Just when we need him the most his form has gone out of the window…😳🤷

As u say, it’s not just one game…. Maybe the last four or so…

Is he actually injured? 

Can see me and mine watching on. True story.

Even if Bolton were to win every game and finish on 93 points, which I doubt they will, that means we would only need to win 4 out of 5 which is entirely possible in my opinion. We're in a very strong position. I reckon 3 wins for us will do it now as we have the better goal difference.

Goal difference tends to worsen if you lose a few games, and improve if you win a few. Strange that. 

When I saw the line up, I thought, oh no, he’s more worried about losing. Why leave Hourihane on? Or even start him? He’s a passenger. 
At the end of the day, it’s no different than losing narrowly to Bolton, and then getting back to winning ways today.

This is brilliant!

Everyone knows we’re more of an away team. A record equalling 12 wins (so far) attests to that. 
it’s about time we had some good fortune. I wouldn’t agree Waghorn ‘handled’ the ball. It brushed between his hand and his leg. Hardly intentional! 
If we think back to the Sheffield Wednesday match, last game of the season; a really soft penalty given against Curtis Davies, yet at the same end Fozzy was literally thrown to the ground at a corner. No pen, obviously. 
Then the refs blunder at Bolton. 
Yes, it is time some things went our way. 

Bolton’s own highlights suggests there was only one team it, as they showed all their chances but only our goal at the end. You wouldn’t think we had a lot more chances than them, with an equal number on target (3).

Reading fans accusing Conor of diving. Yiadom here clearly is NOT upset with Hourihane. So he did catch him. 
Never a booking though. 

Was the first goal offside? I thought it might be. Using this screenshot off Twitter and the iPhone ruler, it looks like their player next to Cashin plays Dwight on.

A bit concerned about what all this never ending rain will do to the pitch. 👀

As regards so called bogey teams; I don’t believe in that. Get into them. 

We won’t be getting more than 31,000 with the current segregation, seat ‘rearrangement’. 
I remember discussions about building up the rest of the ground to the same height as the West Stand. The infrastructure is there. What would that give us? 40,000? Obviously no need until we’re back in the Prem.

Will we even have more than 30k to sell or will the segregation knock 4000 out?

It’s never been 34.000. With moving the away fans into the corner, it’s barely 32,000, especially when they take more seats away for some obscure reason.

I don’t believe Warne believes that we have another gear in us. I think he feels others have better squads (for this type of division)

Even a team that hadn’t won for 22 games? He must have the biggest inferiority complex on earth.

First 20 mins ok, set piece and Cash goal, nice. Bird and Cash standout players … as for the rest of the game ?

Horrible horrible horrible. Head tennis, poor passing, the lack of basic ball control from so many players was embarrassing. 
 

Silly mistakes lost us that .. but was Joe outside the box when he fouled their man ? I guess I  must have black and white glasses but he looked to be at least a foot outside his area at the moment it happened ? And their No 33 was a dirty cheating sod. However, none of that excuses the limited skills on show tonight. Need to get it sorted for Saturday. We are better than this. 

I saw it on Sky before the penalty was taken and was genuinely surprised when Earnshaw said here comes the penalty. 

His substitutions seem to me like a lucky dip. 
He clearly hasn’t got a clue. And that leaves us with a team who don’t know what they’re doing either. 

The man is frightened of his own shadow. Why did Gayle get subbed? 

We score one goal now, and he goes defensive, trying to hang on, ridiculous. With these players we should be out of sight..

So us being 1-0 up and Wildsmith giving away a stupid penalty and us hypothetically losing this game is Paul Warne's fault? Ok then.

Yes it is, because we have a manager who is scared of his own shadow.

How's that possible when we're second in the table?

That’s despite Warne, not because of him.

Watch the goal back. Little nudge on the keeper by Gayle, does enough to put him off. Not quite enough to foul him. That's as good as an assist for me.

Their two defenders apprehending Nelson, virtually handcuffing him was more noticeable.
