Finch

I think brilliant is a bit of an overstatement but was his best display for quite some time.

Thought he was brilliant today. Took up great positions, made theatening runs, took people on, fast direct passing. Did a real shift in defence, too, and saved us a goal. And while others jogged about and scowled at each other and looked like they thought they were too good to have to try, and hard-done-by by the universe, he played like a pro.
You can say 'yeah he does all that but no end product'. But come on: if the likes of Lawrence and Waghorn (and even CKR) did their main jobs as well as he did his, we'd have won today. You can't blame him for not doing _everything_ when some others don't seem to be doing _anything_

I remember walking down to the BBG and PP full of confidence that we would get a result. You knew what every player was capable of, their position on the pitch and the managers tactics. It was down to our opponents to try and stop us.
Wayne says the players have no confidence. Just sit them down and show them the home game v Swansea.
Stop hoofing it and play football, minus the endless passing from side to side. The only time we got it down and played v Brum , they couldn’t cope and we scored.
To the players. Our ground is called PRIDE Park. Let’s be avin some in the last 2 games.
UTR 

I'd take just winning a game at this point.
If we somehow stay up i'd imagine it will be several years before we ever get close to challenging for promotion again

I mentioned this, but was told I was wrong because they already all had contracts elsewhere. So they  dont care, that’s why it’s nothing to do with the manager. They are also useless, which also why it’s got nothing to do with the manager.
So useless in fact they’ve all secured contracts with other clubs well before the seasons end...........go figure!
?

Don’t think so.

Don't forget the main change which is needed; the shorts. It has to be obvious by now that the black shorts are our main problem. It's time to go back to our proper colours of white and navy blue. 

I think we will get relegated, but if we somehow do stay up there needs to be a total overhaul within the club from top to bottom, including a new Manager....

Out of interest, how many are of the same thinking as me:
That we won't get relegated, but we should change the management team (and recruitment team if we can help it) in the summer regardless?

They will have one eye on the playoffs .
We will need to step up .

You're right, Birmingham was our opportunity to pull clear and we blew it. But I still maintain that we are better off. The gaps are the same but the number of games for teams to catch up has reduced. 
We can still do this.

Do you think if we beg him to, bombard him with letters of support, get Sage to organise a 'Wazza in ' demo outside the ground, we might be able to get him to stay......

If you hadn’t sold your house in 3 years perhaps you have on the market at the wrong price.

Thank God he appointed the right Manager though, think of the mess we might be in if he had gone for a glamour appointment of a novice...we might have even been in a relegation scrap ?

I’ll be glad when this season is over, one way or another

I genuinely think Sheffield Wednesday will survive or take it to the last day if we have not attained safety by then. 
 I did a huge bet today on us to go down. If we stay up happy days; if not then that’s that, at least I’ll be in pocket. 
I genuinely can see us losing every game and being relegated on goal difference. 

Because there’s something wrong off the pitch. 

You would think Mel would not want L1 money for a.takeover. Simples put Mac in charge tonight.

Mel, Erik, whoever, Please just give it to Mac until the end of the season! He's already there at the games anyway! Anything is better than this. Even just scoring a goal and losing would be an improvement.
 
 
 

That is of course true but, with Coventry, Huddersfield and Birmingham picking up wins means staying ahead of Rotherham now looks like our only salvation. 

What I take from today's results is that as someone just said above it's now us v Rotherham for who finishes 21st & 22nd.
Let's take a look at the run in.
Currently we are 4 points ahead but they have a better GD and 2 games in hand.
We play Preston on the 20th - a win would see us pull away but a draw is more likely IMO, Rams 44 pts Roth 39
They play Boro on the 21st - I think they will lose, Rams 44pts Roth 39
We play Brum on the 24th - another draw probably, Rams 45pts Roth 39
They play Barnsley also - they may well get a point, Rams 45pts Roth 40
They play Brentford on the 27th - I think they will lose, Rams 45pts Roth 40
They play Blackburn on 1st May, they may well win this as Blackburn will be safe by then and probably half asleep, Rams 45pts Roth 43
We play Swansea the same day, I think we will lose, Rams 45pts Roth 43, still not mathematically safe
They play Luton on the 4th May, they could get a point, Rams 45pts Roth 44
So it will as I suspected come down to the LAST DAY!
They play Cardiff, they may get a point, that will put them level on points with us BUT their GD will probably still be better, which means...
All we will need is a point against an already relegated Sheffield Wednesday...
Wazza will come in for some criticism because he will opt to play an attack minded team in a 3-4-3 or similar, but it will come up trumps because we will WIN and finish with 48 points!
After which thousands of Rams fans will consult their doctors with bleeding finger ends, no fingernails left and needing urgent surgery...

Got sacked by Derby for a reason.

Not if we let in 9 ?
