Well, I made it to the last Championship play off place thanks to the alphabetical order rule! Far better than I expected! Big thanks to @mozza for organising this, really appreciated.

Come on, this is a Derby forum of course we dont want Dirty Dirty Leeds to go up.

We all are.

“Do you not know that a man is not dead while his name is still spoken?” - Terry Pratchett (GNU) B4 is still with us while we remember his optimism. Be more B4!

Please stop chopping onions on the forum, it's playing havoc with my eyes for some reason.

Scrave in the car ✅ Flange ready ✅ Optimism loaded ✅ Bounce prepared ✅ Be more B4 👍

B4 our hyper-optimist, wish he could have been with us now for the last leg. But ,hopefully, this weekend we will get the promotion he would have wanted. Waving a scrave and lifting my flange in his honour when we make it. COYR!

The last push! Nervy and probably not the best match to begin with, and I think we will really need our defence to keep us in the fight until we get a goal. Once we have that first goal though I think we will see more goals and the three points. DCFC 3 : Carlisle 0 FRGS NML COYR! 🖤 🤍 🐏

Can't see Warne thinking it's done and dusted, not the mentality he's shown so far. I think he will want 2 wins and expect the players to commit to 2 wins no matter what.

Wont be a walk-over, Cambridge still need the points and I've nerves like every important match, but I'm saying we get the 3 points because I can't see Warne allowing them to sit back and relax and I also can't see the team letting this go at the last hurdle. Cambridge 0 : DCFC 2 FRGS Collins

Bounce back, pure and simple. DCFC 2 : Orient 0 FRGS NML COYR! 🐏

Wont be pretty, but it will be nerve wracking. I'll say we win by a scruffy goal. Ambulance chasers 0 : DCFC 1 A night for battlers so - FRGS Cash

This will be a really interesting match for me. Pompey are looking like a Championship side already, so how we perform/play will give hints about (hopefully) next season. I know we will strengthen in the summer and probably have a few new (younger?) faces, but how Warne approaches the clash is the thing for me. I'd love to think it's a "no fear and enjoy playing" approach, not a "defend for a point"! Can't help but be the optimist as always and say we get something, 1 or 3 points is the difficulty. Heart says 3, Head says 1...so... I'll go for a tasty Portsmouth 1 : DCFC 2 FRGS CBT

Last minute change in FRGS if possible FRGS - Washington

Wanna win, gotta win, gonna win... DCFC 2 - Blackpool 0 FRGS - Waggy

Remember it well. Was on holiday in Tenerife, sat in the bar wearing my Rams shirt with a lager in front of me(well, that's what they called it) listening via Rams player. I started off with my usual nerves but as the game progressed the "lager" flowed and the grin grew and grew and grew!

I think we will win, but I'd love us to put out a message to the chasing teams. So, not just a win, but a good win where we show we deserve to be in the automatic spot. Northampton 0 - DCFC 3 FRGS - Waggy

Let's be honest, each and every game until we are safely promoted is massive. Each game ticked off makes catch-up that little bit harder.

Really wish I could be there today, instead of being stuck here with my foot up after doing a swan dive on the stairs the other day. But, I refuse to miss out - I'll get my fix... I'll be listening in on Rams player wearing my lucky shirt, sat in one of the small chairs with scrave at hand, and a flange of 150C hot choc for half time. Before the match I'll log onto the megastore website and complain loudly that they still dont have any "Argentinian" shirts, and I'll get my youngest to call me and shout expletives down the phone at crucial points during the game. I'll have to make do with getting my wife to get me to stand up so she can squeeze past me 5 mins before half time and 10 mins before 90 mins, but jumping up to cheer the Rams many goals - well that could be a little interesting, but I'll manage! Of course, I'll stand outside the loo for 10 mins at half time for that true match day nervous bladder feeling and I may even see if I can get a recording of the radio Derby moan-in so I can have some background noise of people wingeing about Warne's tactics so I get the true sound of the crowd! 🤣 Come on Derby, get the 3 points in style for an 'owd bloke with a bad ankle!

I refuse to fall into a pessimistic mood 😁, it wont be easy but I'm saying the crowd will lift the team to a win. DCFC 2 : Notlob 0 FRGS Gayle

There you go!

Done! Fingers crossed it's of use.

We win and keep the pressure on! DCFC 2 - Reading 0 FRGS Gayle

Another win please! Would love to see a comfortable result, but I'll accept the 3 points gained any way it takes! Brissle Rovers 0 - DCFC 2 FRGS Sibbo

Well I'm an optimist, so I'll say... DCFC 2 - Port Vale 0 FRGS NML
