As things stand...

I’m trying to stay optimistic. I can see us getting 2 or 3 wins in the last four games. Particularly fancy Swansea away, as they will have cemented their play off place by then, and won’t want any unnecessary injuries going into the semi. Rotherham v Boro worries me, for obvious reasons ?.
The team need to give everything though, to break away from the League 1 tractor beam. “ I canna give it anymore captain”, is what I expect from Shinnie and co. Let’s win it in midfield...COYR.

Let's hope not, but I'm not daring look at the table at the moment.

According to Wikipedia, Derby's 111 seasons have been distributed as follows:
Level 1: 65* (1 in every 1.71 seasons)
Level 2: 52 (1 in every 2.1 seasons)
Level 3: 4 (1 in every 27.8 seasons)
Level 4: 0
Therefore, if Derby can expect to visit the third tier roughly every 28 years (on average), we should not be too disheartened if we were to get relegated, especially as our last trip down to the old third division being 35 years ago, in 1985-86.
And it shouldn't be anything to worry about, because such visits to the third division have never lasted very long.
It's the sort of club that we are! It's where we sit in the football pyramid. In the long-term, we tend to divide our time between the top two tiers, with rare and brief drops down into the third tier.
* If the first four seasons of the football league only had one division; and the next twenty-seven seasons only had two divisions; then this should make the expected gap between our visits to the third tier be more frequent then every 25 years.

Lookin forward to these away days next season 

Come on, the meme!
 

Mrs VdM has crunched the numbers......and it says.... Norwich.... (useless old computers.....) . ?

BUT BIRMINGHAM........... buggar it. It's not in our hands. We're doomed. Doomed I tell thee
 

Sheff Wed will need a minor miracle to finish above us .  In fact I'm prepared to take on Kenny Burns in a pie eating contest if they do live on air.  Rotherham will have 3 in hand again after tonight so they could be an issue, that's why I preferred the Coventry win the other night. Points not places at the minute. 
 

You seem to know a lot about a random anonymous person on the Internet who you've never met. Actually, you know precisely nothing about me, so I'll file your opinions about me in the relevant place. Have a nice day.

I raise you Mick

Do it for Nick!

I live 15 miles away from the place. It's hideous. But each to their own. ?

You obviously haven't appreciated the town's famous concrete cows. Truly a modern wonder

I'm starting to wonder if Mel is really gullible
iPro - biggest sponsorship of it's kind...other than having no money 
Sam Rush - best thing since sliced bread but suddenly he's out and being taken to court
FFP -we're fine, no worries, well inside...oh flip, we need to get more creative with our accounts and flog the stadium to stay compliant
Henry Gabay - takeover in place, brilliant bit of business - oh he's not paid up and now we can't pay the players...oh, he's now under arrest
Sheikh Khaled - fantastic news for the club, here Sheiky have a go at running things whilst your cheques clears, oh he's not paid up and now we can't pay the players, but he's still going to buy the club imminently!
Erik Alonso - so you've no obvious means to buy the club, hang around with club killer Matt Southall, but that's no problem - it's fantastic news for the club. Here have a long chat with the manager to discuss future plans.
I know that Mel has always tried to act in the best interest of the club - he's one of our own and I dearly hope he's back to his healthy best quickly quickly, but come on. He must be the unluckiest demi-billionaire on the planet.
I wonder what happened to the 'local' offer around Christmas. Surely if Mel just wants out that's the way to go...assuming the Alonso thing doesn't pan out.
 

Is it time to break this out again yet? 

I might start getting some badges made or t shirts, so you can join our exclusive VIP gang.... @DarkFruitsRam7 is already a fully paid up member.

Glad Liverpool lost tonight. Not just for the window smashing, but they were so horrendously poor in the first leg that they deserves to go out. 
Christ, I’m starting to sound like a certain other poster on here...

And it’s all been orchestrated by Steve Gibson... his final revenge over Mel Morris 

I'm just waiting on the reveal that it's actually a consortium of football villains............Ken Bates, Adam Pearson, Billy Davies, Matt Southall, The Oystons, SiSU, the ghost of 1970s Leeds utd, all formed together to create a hub of evil power....but it turned out neither Wednesday or Cardiff could handle the evil....

This all still doesn’t feel quite right to me. Where is this money actually coming from? Claims Alonso has made are seemingly being dismissed by others involved. Is he actually telling the truth?
Hope the EFL can get to the bottom of it, but I have little faith...
