We deserve automatic promotion. It’s been a tough watch at times, but defensively we have been superb and the individual quality has seen us through.
We will beat Carlisle and the manager and players will deserve the plaudits for a job well done.

I’m watching Watford v Hull as it’s on Star+.
We have got plenty of work to do this summer. Both of these move the ball far quicker, far smoother.
You can see why Plymouth and Sheff Wed have struggled this season.
I hope sentiment doesn’t come into it this summer. We will need an upgrade on a good six or seven of our first-team.

Can we cross it before we burn it?

Half the Hull side is made up of loans from the PL.
Seems like the way to go as the likes of Liverpool have shown they have a number of talented youngsters who aren’t going to break into their first-team.

The obvious solution to the FA Cup is simple. 
Prior to kick-off, ask teams whether they want a one-off game or the possibility of a replay.
A one-off game can only ensue if the decision is unanimous in favor of a one-off game.
Most PL and Championship teams will favor one-off games so you will get plenty of all PL one-off ties but it gives the smaller clubs a bigger chance of a payday.

I missed this post. Exactly how I feel it should be done. Makes the most sense.

Should’ve done it that after every cup draw both teams get to say in advance whether or not they want a reply if a draw happens. Two nos and it’s extra time and pennos. One club wants it and I’m afraid a reply it is.

I’ve lost a lot of interest in boxing since the decline of the welterweight division. The heavyweight scene peaked interest for a while but since Saudi came about the prized fighters are just holding everything up. 
Boxing was better when Eddie was just UK based and we had decent UK shows.
His expansion into the US and move away from Sky affected UK boxing in a bad way and then the Saudi money has made it worse, despite the Matchroom/Queensbury love-in. 

£600+ to watch about 5 or 6 home wins all season, which of those will be tedious, nail-biting affairs where you’re wishing for the final whistle to arrive as opposed to actually enjoying the football.
How is that worth it?

Bolton have had a monumental drop off in form. Since February they have only won 6 in 17 games, picking up 26 points.
Over a season that isn’t even top 9 form.
Usually 2 points a game is the requirement for automatic promotion. Not this year.
Whoever goes up in the playoffs is finishing bottom of the Championship next season
 
 

I think it’s largely the thought of seeing Sheff Wed and Plymouth, two sides who looked better than the current Derby side, struggle to hit 50 points in the Championship.
I see us currently weaker than teams like QPR, Huddersfield and Wednesday so we will need to have a decent summer (or a manager who can excel on a budget) to give us a chance next season. 

Very true. Keep up the good work.

I have a 50/1 accumulator I do every season looking pretty good. Derby promotion is included in that 😀
But I didn’t realize the season had already finished.

I have zero confidence in Warne being a success at Championship level.
I don’t think he is at the level of Nigel Pearson, let alone a Bielsa or Farke.
And as Derby aren’t going to have the biggest budget in the Championship, far from it, we’re going to need somebody great to ultimately have us challenging at the top of the table.
But maybe Clowes just doesn’t want to take the risk.
Maybe keeping Warne on a moderate wage and surviving in the Championship with a bottom half wage budget is enough to make profits provided 25,000+ fans are willing to suck it up.

Crazy talk.
Liverpool have got some brilliant players - Allison, Van Dijk, Salah, McAllister and Robertson would get in any side in the PL.
Jota, Konate, Szoboszlai, Trent and Diaz are all top quality too. 
City have a core group of world class players in Dias, Rodri, KDB, Foden, Walker, Bernardo Silva and Haaland (Stones, Gvardiol and Ederson are top quality too) but I don’t think Liverpool or Arsenal would look at Akanji, Doku, Ake, Alvarez, Grealish, Bobb, Lewis, Nunes or Kovacic as players that would improve them.

They do seem to come into their own at this time of year.
Both Liverpool and Arsenal losing is big too, as if either had drawn, they could at least still have GD on their side.
You do get the feeling Arsenal and Liverpool will have to go 6/6 now, because while I don’t see City winning all six, you’re asking a lot for them to drop points in two games.
City could afford their annual loss at Spurs if their rivals also drop more points.

The original post was that physical teams score more goals from corners and set-pieces than technical teams which was in response to a post praising our ability at set-pieces.
I don’t even know why this would trigger the volatile reaction. 
In this thread alone there are several posts with strong and personal remarks about Warne and some of the players. Far harsher than anything I write.
Yet I post something and suddenly I’m trolling, or people are quick to cry about it.
 
 

This IMO is a great video and method of training which makes it enjoyable and will motivate you to do more.
Consistency will always win.
