But I fear we need to win a lot of games to get 2nd as Villa are flying. it cant last forever. ok They have won 7 straight, but before that in december they didnt win a single game in 5. Since a goalless draw at home to millwall, i think they have won 3 games away from home 1-0, and won 4 games at home. They will draw a game or 2 sooner or later, might even loose the odd one. We just have to find ways to win. Ironically, we would be better off points wise, if Camerons penalty had been given at home to Brizzy C... if Anyas offside was given as a legitimate goal against Millwall, and if Norwich had beaten us.. which they deserved to.

Good post. Tomorrow night is important in many ways for Derby. 4 draws and a win in the last 5 is good but we need to turn draws into wins. 1 win is worth 3 draws although in 6 pointers draws are more valuable like against Bristol and Cardiff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hasn’t DCDC disappeared in a puff of panic after failing to win a ‘must win’ game on Saturday? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon they’re probably already looking at summer targets based on variables such as whether we go up or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would opt for the less stressful way of 2nd every day of the week though. Stress free....People stress like mad over a draw with 15 games to go. I actually like the play offs. Other than Villa I fear none of the surrounding teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It made the difference for Burnley 2 seasons ago, and watford 3 seasons ago.
