 So my physio friend (who used to work at Leighton Orient) says these days they wouldn’t do that if it’s a soft tissue issue. She thought most likely a knock on the bone which was tender and would settle down in just a few days.  Anyway, fingers crossed - he’s become an important part of the balance we’ve found in the last 4 or 5 games

Are Leighton Orient one of them tribute football teams? I imagine a heavily moustached Peter Kitchen lookalike posing out on the wing.

I had been hoping @Bris Vegas had been added to the Radio Derby Commentary Team.  Life is one big disappointment at times.

So posters who have given us no chance of going up are now changing to "we'll be sh*t next season in the championship"

I guess if you enjoy being a miserable tw*t, you won't let anything get in the way, not even a modest success.

I think Bris has been very consistent this season that we will go up. He was saying it around November iirc.

Still seems like a good point this morning. No, not the draw against Pompey. Bris’s viewpoint that we will struggle next season 😂  Lighten up you guys. It’s one Mexican’s opinion. No need for a stand-off.

Rubbish! Gland you aren’t manager!

You could always sac him.

Dogged performance. Great point. Must take our A game to Wycombe.  Up the Rams!

Not watched a full game of the Rams for a while, so not sure what to expect. I fear we look a little exposed in midfield and at RB/LB based on what I know of Pompey. Hopefully, we can create a bit of magic upfront to make us competitive. COYR Rams!!

Is this match on a sky sports bonus channel or regular sky sports. Want to buy a day pass for nowtv but that won’t show bonus channels and I can’t see on sky website exactly what it’s on 

I’ve just logged on to Now Darlo. It’s available.

@David wishing you and Leanne the very best as you ride your emotional rollercoaster 👍🐑

My situation is nothing in comparison, but it has been a difficult 12 months for both of my kids (29 and 31) with messy relationship breakups (fortunately no kids themselves), and we also lost our dog late in February. We, the wife and I, are still coming to terms with that loss. I post this not for any reason other than to say I agree there is much more to life than football. I had fallen out of love with football many years ago, and I think after the emotion of the club being saved I personally found last season an anti-climax. This season has bizarrely been unexciting for me, even though we have been riding high in the league. This is perhaps down to my age, the finding of other interests, and spending a lot more time offering love and support to my kids as they ‘rebuild’. Whilst I wish they hadn’t had the difficulties they have experienced, selfishly (perhaps) I am pleased to have been able to spend more quality time with them, making it more evident than ever to me that family and friendships are more important than overpaid young men kicking a back of wind about 😉

I still keep an eye on the games via this forum, and online viewing, and if we go up I suspect I will be thrilled and celebrate as hard as most on here. However, where I suspect I differ to many now is if we do fail at the final hurdle I won’t be down or too disappointed. It’s only football after all.

You guys who weren’t at Crawley in 2011 for our glorious third round FAC exit are clearly plastics. Terrible game, and my umbrella gave up the fight after only 15 minutes. Soggy prawn sandwiches are yuk.

Great win and 3 points. All other results going our way too. Not even Derby can f*** it up from this point can we? Up the Rams!!

Bradley hasn't shown himself to be the brightest apple in the barrel in the opponents penalty area though has he. All the stupid wrestling he gets involved in. But even so moving your head towards another player is enough to get you sent off nowadays. Edit: just seen rammieib's post - not much point in appealing then!

He’s not the brightest apple in the barrel that’s true. He’s not the sharpest banana in the washing basket either. I’d go as far as to say that he’s one strawberry short of a biscuit tin.

@Jourdan Sorry to put a dampener on your day, but your Carpet Right delivery has had a glitch. Tell the Mrs she will have the carpet now first thing Monday morning, but in better news she can have her underfelt tonight 👍

I was in my armchair typing get rid of McClaren, as there was no way his 433 style of open attacking football would ever get us out of the Championship. I remember posting on the day, when he grinned down the camera lens with his big cheesy face, how the first sign of a big club interested in him again would turn his head. You guys need to heed what I say.

I’m sure The Stranglers and Metallica did mine in.

The Stranglers gave me neck ache. Funny old world.

I have no idea as to how we played, but looking at the stats on BBC it was a fantastic team effort to get a vital 3 points. Well done Paul Warne and the whole team. I will continue the drink fest I started in a few hours ago. I have a gig tonight but not sure I am going to make it 😊🍻🐑

f***. I got the Bentley serviced yesterday thinking it would be cash on the day. Another weekend where I will have to find something else to do 🐏

I agree with you. In this electronic age, it would be easy to prioritise in terms of actual attendances (not the "I'm a lifelong fan but I don't go because of....."

If you can't get yourself to Pride Park, then surely the same excuses apply to Wembley?

Did you get a D in geography Angie?

I have no idea, but I thought if anyone would know it would be one of the Metropolitan liberal elite.

I was thinking the same, one of the quietest matchday threads of the season for the biggest game. Quite a few posts from Bolton fans too.

I was thinking of you earlier. Please let me know how you get on with today’s recipe idea 😂❤️

Frankly I don’t think either team know, or are coached, how to play cagey. It’ll be a frantic end to ender, not dissimilar to Posh. Hopefully we win by the odd goal in five. Up the Rams 🐑

Bloody hell. 8 hours since anyone posted, and I have been asleep all of those. I sometimes think I am the only proper Rams fan on this board

Wishing all you attendees a fantastic day. Big day, for a big club to deliver. Come on Warne. Make them all write an emotional ‘Why board’ entry, and then send them out the team thinking they are unbeatable. Come on you Rams!!!!

No it’s a hard standing to the rear of your property laid by some ‘reputable’ Irish Labourers.

I think it will be a very cagey affair with both teams approaching the game with some caution recognising the threats the other team poses and, as PW says, it’s a game neither team will want to lose but both will try to win.
