we have arguably the harder  game of the three contenders ...im not confident we can beat wba

We are at home with a close to capacity PP - please tell me your not going.

For all those with negative thoughts: If you supported Boro or Brizzle then would you swap places with us?.....Too fecking right you wouldn't. Also West Brom need reminding what happened to George Thorne when you play a full strength side when your play off spot is already assured.

Draw could still be useful. As mentioned on commentary, it keeps the unbeaten stretch going

Honestly I'd prefer to be Boro right now, they pretty much have a nailed on 3 points, whereas we have a game that we could easily lose.

Not sure what's funny about that? Well thought out point though.

No easy game in the championship. If we can't win that final game then we don't deserve to be in the play-offs. It's in our hands, their fate isn't. That's the point I'm trying to make. Would you rather it was the other way around?

[Kernow]

No team has lost fewer home games at home than us this season. Having the opportunity to be at home on the last day of the season knowing that if we win, nobody can displace us, isn’t a bad position to be in.

I don’t really care if West Brom are 4th, or going for 3rd or whatever. We have to fancy ourselves to win other why bother turning up to the play-offs? I think Leeds and Villa are stronger sides than WBA anyway.

I also wouldn’t point the finger at an away game to eight-wins-and-three-draws-in-their-last-eleven-home-games Swansea as the defining moment where we missed our chance for the play-offs. We’ve slipped up in games you’d fancy us much more in plenty of times this season. If this game wasn’t rearranged because of the cup, we’d consider this a good result.

So your telling me that when you wake up on Sunday your thinking we are going to lose. 

Why have you bothered going since 1970? 

[Topram]

Let’s get pride park rocking on Sunday! COME ON DERBY

There definitely is. Ipswich, Rotherham and Bolton are all easy games. That's a cliche I just can't agree with. I do agree though, if we can't win the final game we don't deserve to be there.

So you'd rather be in a position where you have to win your last game away, and still have the possibility of missing out, than being in the position of winning your game and being guaranteed play offs?

Illogical.

We'll beat WBA. Have confidence.

[Mucker1884]

All this talk of "I'd have taken taken this position at the start of the season"... In fairness, I'd have taken it from where we were a month or so ago!  

We've thrown nothing away.  We've bottled nothing.  If anything, we've taken the last turn looking stronger than out nearest rivals... Just need that big push on down the final straight, and dip over the line!

It's in our hands, folks.  That's a good thing!

Not really illogical, when there is much higher odds of Derby dropping points in the final game than Boro.

[DcFc Dyycheee]

Set play defending costing us yet again. We just never learn. Disappointing. 

At least Sunday will be exciting now though. 

[Officer]

Supporting Derby just gives you a heart attack... Too much for my old age.

Because i support the team at the ground  ...on here im realistic ...in my opinion we are now not in the box seat for a play off position. Tonight was that opportunity which we spurned. 

[BathRam72]

Why the negativity? Is it so you don't have to beat yourself up if it doesnt happen?

I just don't get it?

Where is the fighting spirit? We are British, we are English (and other ethnicities) but together we are Derby.

What a load of wrist slashers.
