As much as I wouldn’t begrudge them, it just adds another club to the parachute merry go round. If we don’t go up then let’s hope we get rid of the current top 3 to give us a better shot next season. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Given we only have weeks left, that’s nearly as good as. Perhaps available for a couple of games and play off if we make them.

Back from injury and match fit are two different things. It will give them more options from the bench.

I don’t think he featured, even from the bench. The only consideration is the travel.

Surely an early season game and therefore the team that won the cup in 1987? Finished 10th with Villa and Leicester relegated. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hypothetically and in reality we wouldn’t find a club willing to loan us a player just as cover.

It’s a dangerous approach picking and choosing the games you can get points from. I doubt Derby have the squad flexibility to do it anyway.

We barely laid a glove on Leeds, but I think a Wembley final with our fans behind us would be a different story. Going into the game with Luton, I never had the feeling we were going to do it. This has 1987 vibes for me.

I’d love us to be the ones to beat them at Wembley or Sheff Utd, either would do. Both are pretty detestable.

“Antagonisingly close” 🤣

For perspective, there have been nine games at Derby in that period and 6 were draws.

True, but they also beat us during the month on our own patch.

At least they have a stadium design ready to go 🤣

Context being the respective value of the squads and the improvement generated by the manager?

Whoever plays we need far better cover for Bidwell. Once Rudoni was injured and lost mobility, Bidwell was continually exposed and that continued when Rudoni went off.

Not really. Leeds won every game with +16 goal difference including beating us!

Yes agree. It was also interesting to see Burnley struggling with crosses into their box last night. Hopefully we can exploit it when we play them.

All of that is a fair assessment, but it doesn't change the fact that Saturday is a one off game and anything can happen. With the knowledge he has of our players, perhaps this is the game where he gets the tactics right and maximises the performance from his team?
