    They docked us too many points previously and we're due some back?

    2nd will be ours 🐏
     
    Barnsley play twice before our next game, with Bolton playing once. Worst case is just 2 points seperating all three sides after playing 42 games a piece, and Peterborough remaining 8 points behind us (with 2 games in hand).
    Kicking off their game at the same time as us, Peterborough will have 6 games in 17 days, finishing off with Bolton on the last day. I can't see them maintaining pace despite having an easy set of games on paper. I think it'll result in Bolton winning their fixture, especially as Peterborough can use the game to rest key players ahead of the Playoffs.
    Even if we win just 2 of our final 4 games, we end up with 88 points. If we can't acheive that, then we don't deserve promotion.. Peterborough or Barnsley would therefore have to win at least 5 of their final 6 games to finish above us. I have doubts Peterbrough will even achieve 5 wins for the reason mentioned above. 2 wins and a draw for us (should still be easy to achieve) would mean Barnsley need at least 16 points to pass us (due to our superior GD). Again it feels unlikely they'll be able to pass us.
    It's between us an Bolton. They face Portsmouth in 2 games time. A game Portsmouth will be more than happy to take a draw from. At that point, it'll most likely keep them 9 points ahead of Bolton with just 3 games remaining, with them needing just 1 more win to clinch the title (assuming they beat beat Shrewsbury on Saturday).
    Bolton won't be able to slip up in any other games. If they do, it means we're back to only needing 7 points to finish above them.
    For us to take top spot, we would have to win all 4 and hope the best Portsmouth do is 2 wins and a draw from their 5 games. Since they've only lost 4 all season, losing 2 more in their final 5 games is unlikely - they do have Bolton, Barnsley and Lincoln to play, so not impossible. I think they'll find a way to snatch enough points to hold on to top spot.

    A colleague said to me "you're up now arent you" this morning - then treated him to a long lesson on the years of Derby disappointment and blowing it at the last moment. Feel he will never mention football to me again 😂
    Please Derby 🤞🤞🤞

    I think that the usual suspects are criticising Warne because there's a 'Y' in the day.

    I don't think that follows - it just means we care a lot about going up and not much about winning the division.  
    Re the tactics - I think they worked reasonably well but we'll never know how we'd have done had we adopted a more attacking strategy.

    Your bit about the 1 in 4 statistic reinforces that it is a statistical thing.
    We had three.

    Quite a few people are frustrated that we seemed to play too defensively in the second half.
    But, when I asked the other day if we want Bolton to beat Pompey, to increase our chances of winning the league - or Pompey to beat Bolton, to increase our chances of finishing second - everyone seemed to want Pompey to beat Bolton.
    Therefore, as fans, we are taking a defensive position - but at the same time, lots seem to be criticising Warne for taking a defensive position.

    6th - Oxford or Lincoln winning all of their games would put them level with our current total. They play each other, so they both can't pass us.

    I loved (don't tell @Archied 😉) the BBG, but if I'm honest I think that those that are too young to have savoured it would find it rather disappointing. Having 20000 (ok, slight exaggeration) crammed onto the Popside, everyone moving in unison (because if one person moved the whole bloody lot of us had to move), and I won't even mention the bogs (definitely the right name because they resembled a bog much more than a toilet). I think that as a one off experience they would love it, but having to go through that whole cow herd experience every week I don't think would appeal. God I miss the old place 😔. I miss the smell of the place, especially at night. Football for me has that smell, but of the few memories that I seem to have retained at my age I can still smell and taste the BBG. Football for me now is too sterile, especially with the "big" clubs demanding everything for themselves leaving not even scraps for the rest. Brian Clough would hate today's football, and nobody would have to shop him to the police because he'd be on the TV every day screaming it at the top of his voice.

    A wet pitch and players slipping is potentially the WORST conditions to try a high intensity press as easy to sidestep someone racing in to close you down.... look at the 1st goal we conceded, Nelson needed to hold position instead of getting too close to be easily passed, but it's hard in those conditions

    Good point in the end that. Got undone by a screamer which can happen.
    But on another night they could score that open goal and get a penalty (if that was us, I'd want a penalty for what Wilson did) it definitely falls into the category of "I've seen them given" and I would agree with Curtis Davies in that if it's anywhere else on the pitch it's a foul. 
    But we defended well, held our shape well and it was a good away performance.
    Now we've got 8 days to rest. A luxury no other team is getting.
    I think 3 wins will do the job now. That would mean Bolton need 4 wins and a draw from their last 5 games. Which I just cannot see them getting.
    If we can go to Wycombe and get a result, it will take the pressure off slightly for the remaining 3 games. 
    Hoping Bristol Rovers can do us a massive favour on Saturday, but they seem to be on the beach, so I'm not hopeful.
    Another thing with the result today, it means that Pompey can go up with a win at Bolton. So they'll still have something to play for.
    Maybe have Bird, Gayle and Barkhuizen back for Wycombe away too. Who hopefully will have a Wembley hangover.
    We can do it.
    Up The Rams!

    Think of it as a point gained rather than 2 lost. Would have taken a draw before the match.
