FFS DO NOT SIT BACK AND TRY AND NAB A POINT! Barnsley will be desperate for everything and that will end in disaster. Go out with the intent to win the game, but try and control it rather than forcing passes that aren’t there. That way we won’t put ourselves under so much pressure, which we know we’ve never been very good under!

[Warren Hobhead]

I fancy us to win this. By all accounts, Barnsley are in wretched form on the road. Early goal and we should be good for at least the point we need. I hope we don’t relegate them though. It’s a terrific away trip should we not get promoted, much rather Reading were the ones to drop, an absolute nothing club.

It would be great if we could get ourselves in the playoffs and help Burton out in the process. 

Burton don’t seem to share the love when it comes to Derby, so I’m told

Would love an early goal here. Then just keep hitting them on the break

I agree except for the ‘on the break’ bit, just keep hitting them.

Ref might stop the contest.

I am from Burton originally so I feel a bit of a connection there I think. I certainly don't wish them any ill.

So when people say that the players should run through Walls for the club, you were thinking pork and beef rather than the final promotion push?

Neither do I. I just heard it wasn’t really reciprocated .

I've always thought it would be interesting to see Weimann in the striker role - probably never happen though..

Really hope Vydra starts and can grab a couple goals to seal the golden boot. Amazing what a few weeks can do for your mood in football. I was so angry after the Wolves and Burton games yet now have the excitement/butterflies back for this Sunday! Really looking forward to it and hope we can generate the atmosphere we had for the Cardiff game! Not had an atmosphere like that in my memory since the Southampton home leg under Billy Kranky! 

3-0 Vydra, Jerome, Lawrence

Sorry, count me out Owd miner, I'm planning some sausage-related activity of my own, especially if we win on Sunday.

I wondered about this - if it was the other way round, would Burton fans want to help Derby out or relegate us? I bet they'd want to relegate us. Tossers.

Probably, but its a bit like the England/Scotland thing, we're the big boy and can afford the generosity and paternalism whilst they can rage against the situation as the wee man and celebrate their small victories.

They always used to play "friendly" matches against us though, just about every pre-season.

Nowhere near clinical enough for me mate.  Shame as he’s got the pace.

His best game was against Hull in the plays offs before he got injured. hopefully he will provide more of the same, and not get injured.

[PistoldPete2]

Any chance of Anya getting in the squad for this one? Now we are playing wing backs.

My late uncle followed Burton from their old ground, supported them in a few ways, and had a "box" (im not sure it was an 'actual' box, I dont know if the pirelli has them. I never went with him but my folks did) at the pirelli from its opening until his death. So I certainly have a fondness for Burton.

Most Burton fans are fairly fond of Derby, that I'm aware of, due to common family connections, and the clubs having worked together at times - but some developed a negative attitude towards Derby through the years of "little brother" ties etc. 

I dont why I quoted you Juan, and not one of the people talking about Burton hating us, but I've come this far - im not stopping now. 


In regards to the Barnsley game, I'm nervous af and will continue to be until the final whistle. Despite not actually being all that bothered with whether we finish in the playoffs or not.
