Carl Sagan Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 Saturday 25th April, 15.00 kickoff, at the (New) DenDerby’s last 6:P6 W2 D3 L1 GF13 GA9 Pts9Millwall’s last 6:P6 W2 D3 L1 GF6 GA5 Pts9Head to head:P45 W15 D13 L17 GF53 GA52Millwall have hardly been Lions this season, and sit 3rd from bottom, but with new hope given the Derby/Rotherham Farrend Rawson loan fiasco. With 3 points expected to come off Rotherham’s total, that means the team from “sarf of the river” (whose water don't taste like what it oughta) could be only 1 + ε points off safety, where ε ϵ (0,1).For Derby, we’re looking for elusive form and momentum to take into the hoped-for playoffs. A win would guarantee us one of the two lower playoff berths. In search of togetherness and defensive solidarity, the Rams prepare for this match with a trip to overseas spring sunshine. Whisper it but we’re unbeaten in 5. While we can’t defend for toffee, we can score against anyone and refuse to give up. The season’s still alive, as is the dream of promotion. Come on you Rams!

Kernow Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 Can they get relegated if results go against them?If we win and Rotherham win yeah. But Rotherham have Norwich. And 3 points deducted would un-relegate Millwall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rams forever Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 Let's give them a good dicking and relegate the scum at the same time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramos Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 I really would love to relegate Millwall, although I'd fear for my life if I was going and we did! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl Sagan Posted April 19, 2015 Author Share Posted April 19, 2015 In terms of preparing ourselves for what we hope to be the rest of the season, this is very important. Get the playoff position confirmed and we have one game, much as last season, to rest and recuperate and gather ourselves for the coming storm. Should we make the playoffs, we'll start out at home to one of the two teams that's just missed out and had to fight all the way to the finish line, and will be gutted to have missed out.They'll be down, hopefully half-broken, and hardly looking forward to playing us, the team that have been favourites for much of the season and been there and already experienced this the year before. Plus we may well be buoyed by the return of some or all of Thorne/Martin/Buxton.I don't want to go into the final game at home to Reading still needing something to secure our place. Let's make certain of it on Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ambitious Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 If Millwall go down instead of Rotherham and Any three of Boro, Bournemouth, Ipswich and Norwich go up then the Championship could be cracking next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bris Vegas Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 Reckon we'll go there and win with a morale-boosting clean sheet. Dawkins to start and perform well again. Ince to grab yet another goal.I don't really care much about Millwall, I'd much rather see Wigan go down to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YorkshireRam Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 Agree with this other than Warnock for Forsyth for me. I've not been all that impressed with Warnock. He's not done anything wrong, I just believe Forsyth to be better.Forsyth was dropped due to a poor performance at CB but for the rest of the season, I would argue he's been our best defender. His distribution is poor at times but I feel his aerial presence and superior crossing puts him above Warnock in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin is unknown really. Thorne and Buxton for Reading/Play-Offs.Buxton would walk straight into the team if I was Mac with the defence looking like: Keogh Albentosa Buxton ForsythDesperate times when you field a CB at RB but neither Shotton nor Christie are anywhere near good enough!

I really don't want to risk Thorne but with the importance of the games and the extended recovery period of summer, I'd be tempted to do it.Martin is less vital as Ince and Bent are scoring for fun and we look fairly fluid in attack.Buxton should return, if fully fit, due to the possible necessity of playing Keogh at RB.
