It’s plucky Derby now - in fact it’s the only real championship story isn’t it 

Bottom of the league and Sky TV still want us on the TV - I know we are way down on our attendances this season but Sky must be sick of having sub 15,000 crowds - they must also think we are more interesting than the likes of Bristol city, PNE etc

In that case I will refrain from my usual moaning about the inconvenience. That sort of income is probably more than would have been generated in Saturday ticket sales.
I'm sorry for those who can't now get, though. 

I hope Mr Poopypants from the Bristol forum doesn't see that. He'll self combust if he does. 

Enough for the next fine

Well the administrators are a bunch of accountants so they should actually know what’s correct or not.

There are about 16 teams capable of relegation this season which is the major contributing chance to our possibilities.
Teams like Cardiff have to be down the FFP route and future deductions as well if their owner is putting in £3 million a month as reported which might help as well 
Another issue is that most of those clubs cannot spend money to help their situation and may have to sell the odd player 
we don’t have the firepower to pick up the points we deserve so far this season but if by some stroke of fortune gets us the much needed goal scorer who knows? 
Could we possibly catch up 21 points and stay up ? I doubt it but I like the way we are trying our very best
we obviously need to avoid having to sell what we have currently in January as well.

Well played Derby - good performance that against a decent opponent.
Nice mix of game management tonight. First 25 mins played some great stuff, pinging the ball around & they struggled to squeeze the space - Forsyth particularly prominent & fitting that he got the goal. Thereafter Reading had a good spell as they did for 15 mins around the hour mark but we dug in, were well organised & defended well. Really pleased for Allsop too - couple of shaky performances in the League Cup but he was excellent tonight. Two fantastic saves (one in each half), some routine saves & good with the ball at his feet also.
Elsewhere, thought Knight right side was a lot better than I thought he'd be - he & Byrne combined well particularly first half & his running into space was a feature of our counter attacks - just disappointed he didn't put Stretton in just before he came off. Shout out for Stearman also who was very solid deputising for Jagielka.
Obviously they had a lot of late pressure but thought we looked reasonably comfortable & wasn't too concerned we'd throw it away. Important psychologically now that we've got back into positive points - if we can follow this up with another victory v Swansea on Saturday (who have just chased Fulham around the park all night) then we can start to think about reeling in Hull. All small steps.
Last word for the fans - magnificent all night & looked like a decent turnout in the end from the tellybox. I had a ticket for tonight but unfortunately tested positive for Covid on Monday so couldn't go - don't think I've ever been as disappointed to miss a match, really wanted to be there to roar on the lads. The team will have fed off that support tonight though & there were plenty of compliments on Sky about the backing we got.

Usually just one match - obviously the EFL could ask the FA to make it longer 

It a real 24 pointer this one ?

With a decent goal scorer we would be challenging the play offs in more normal times 

I was there at Sheffield and the ones making those remarks were in groups of 6 and with a combined age of less than a pair of Derby county centre half’s - I don’t even think they know what they were chanting actually means!

They have an awful lot ! Wage bill is probably still huge to be fair unlike ours nowadays 
it helps when Chelsea constantly let them have players for next to nowt
