Bolton 100/1 Peterborough 2000/1 Bet365 @Retro_RAM

And Nyambe in a back 3.

That could be a post from pretty much every season. Don't stress it's only 3 and a half months till the football returns 😂

Last 10 games it's W7 D2 L1 (one draw and the one defeat causing fan meltdowns of course) scored 16, conceded 4. Incredible consistency at the crunch time of the season.

I went Collins because his goal was the most technically difficult, but Ebou will obviously win.

8min interview with Colin Todd from ITV Central last night, video in the link: https://www.itv.com/news/central/2024-04-19/colin-todd-no-split-loyalties-for-derby-county-legend-ahead-of-crucial-weekend 🐑

Renewed today, so I've now plucked up he courage to delete last year's renewal confirmation email! 😬

Personally I think a pitch invasion for reclaiming our normal place in the Championship would be a bit tinpot. Letting the players celebrate together and then having a lap of honour is a far classier move than invading the pitch and swarming the players, including opposition players who are left in a pretty vulnerable position in the majority of these over-glorified pitch invasions.

I made sure to do it before Bolton "beat" Shrewsbury and the odds inevitably dropped 😂

Edit: see post above 👍

I'm the same 😂 I still have last year's confirmation email too!!

Cambridge 0-2 Derby Collins (pen)

In my next level thinking I think we want Peterborough to win too. In the event that we lose or draw at Cambridge we may well need Peterborough to get a result against Bolton on the final day, so the last thing we want is for that game to be a dead rubber for Peterborough. Imagine a doomsday scenario where we lose to Cambridge and Bolton win their next 2 games, the table would look this if Peterborough win their next 3 games: Bolton 88 Derby 86* Peterborough 86 *goal difference advantage over Peterborough So going into the last day Peterborough would go all out to beat Bolton as they could still nick 2nd, but a win for them and win for us against Carlisle would mean that we take 2nd on goal difference 😎

I think this was meant for @Wolfie20

Same here, on both counts.

His parent club is Luton. They'll probably use him in the Championship next season I'd have thought.

It'll never happen, but the only way to reduce the amount of injuries happening to players at all clubs is smaller divisions, less games and no more 3 game weeks. 18 team divisions should do it.

What's worse is that we have him on loan for 2 successive seasons! Granted they were pretty forgettable for the most part and one of the seasons was behind closed doors due to covid, but still he was here for TWO YEARS 😂

I just boil it back down to the fact that we'd much rather be in our position than Bolton's or Peterborough's. We know for a fact that 4 wins from here and we're up regardless of anything they do. We also have softer fixtures on paper than either of them, with Bolton having Pompey & Peterborough, and Peterborough having Bolton to play and 7 games 21 days. We'd have gladly taken this position at most points of the season if offered. C'mon Derby, final push.

Yes, I said this a few weeks back, we could possibly do with Posh winning their next 5 (if neccesary) to stay within a point of Bolton, in case we need them to get something off Bolton on the final day. For example we could end up going into the final day with Bolton on 90, Derby 89, Posh 89.
