Posh v Bolton will be Peterborough’s seventh game in 20 days - they’ll be exhausted and also saving themselves for the playoffs. Before that, Bolton have two home games against lowly opposition. I know anyone can lose to anyone else on their day, but Bolton v Pompey is clearly massive for us.

Derby promotion = CAKE Forest relegation = ICING Birmingham relegation = ENORMOUS BIG FAT CHERRY ON THE TOP

Oh no! Wingers crossing - that’s not part of our game at all! Please don’t tell your manager!! We play everything through the middle.

Do you remember how many games it was before we realised we were wrong? I guess it wasn’t many!

Our first game in “the 11-point season” was a 2-2 draw against Pompey. I remember leaving the ground thinking “that was pretty good, I think we’ll do alright this season”.

Portsmouth 0:1 Derby Adams

Yeah and they only had mayonnaise and I wanted salad cream. In fact the whole day just seemed fawlty

How does this happen so late in the day? Are they behind a post or something?

Derby 0:1 Blackpool

We’ve won 4 of the last 5

Carlisle down to 11!! I wonder if there are any more still to release?

Northampton 0:1 Derby Wilson

I’m glad he mentioned CBT. He’s looked very quick and with NML knackered near the end he could have had an impact. I was disappointed that Elder came on instead of CBT - then Elder’s first contribution was a lovely corner for the goal; so good job I’m not the manager!

Birmingham had 27 shots today but none went in. What a shame! 😀. Out of the relegation zone only on goal difference. 🤞

Occasionally Belper Town or The Ewes. Belper is a Lovely ground. I’m at the back at PP so get a great view, but none of the noise from the players. Watching lower league l hear every crunch of a tackle, every sweary argument, all the passion and commitment close-up. A totally different fan experience.

Derby 2:1 Bolton Gayle

Lincoln’s recent form is really quite extraordinary - they’re not just winning - they’re winning with ease. It’s a shame they don’t have games against Barnsley, Bolton or Posh - but their end of season clash with Pompey could be really interesting.

Peterborough v Stevenage tomorrow

Whenever I watch a bit of rugby as I did over the weekend, I wonder why on earth I bother with football. I know the standard of rugby in the 6 nations is high and the standard of football I watch is - well - not high. But the rugby seems to be thrilling for almost the whole game - loads of jeopardy, extraordinary athleticism - huge men darting around like gymnasts - it gets me off my seat and shouting at the tele. So I tell myself I’ll go watch Derby RFC but I never do. I suppose there’s just something special about football. But I’ve got a ton of respect for the top rugby players.

Derby 3:0 Reading Gayle

Lincoln last 8 games - 6 wins, 2 draws - that’s some run! (I’ve stuck my neck out and assumed they’ll win today!)

Brizzle 0:3 Derby Sibley
