Strage shaped instrument for an accurate measurement.

Would look good with a beer in it!

So will the pitch be watered like Cardiff game. Players were slipping all over the place.

Anyone know if this is being shown on Bet365? Understand it is not televised as Forest v Derby is being shown here.

I've avoided going for a number of years but got some free tickets and actually looking forward to it - should be a tight game. Very interested to see who Mowbray starts with.

Whats the best chippy close to the ground?

Gutted about the Bristol result, as I said to someone on the last match day thread - currently this is NOT in our hands. We need other teams to drop points even if we pick them up.

But it's not because we won't.

For me we have to win 4 games from now until the end of the season. This is one of those games....and we will win today, I've no doubts.

When you are in the bottom three it isn't.. But with Bristol playing last night the answer to the question will be at 5pm today when everyone else has played.. Those in the bottom three it Defo isn't in there hands 

[AllRoverAsia]

It is so clearly in our hands. Look at the table and do the maths.

[Ricky]

It is in our hands though.

[duggy9197]

The Bristol,Wolves and Forest games are the big ones,as kick off gets nearer im getting a bit nervous,but im confident we will get a decent result today,afterall a draw will not be the end of the world.

So you can guarantee we don't need other teams to drop points?

[Tyrone Shoelaces]

Any team news ?

That's not what 'being in our own hands means'. Is Chelsea winning the league also not in their own hands? By your logic it isn't.

If we were in the relegation places on equal games with the teams above us it would be out of our hands. You're making up your own meaning for the phrase.

Joao starts. Mahoney on bench

No Graham or Evans

http://m.bbc.com/sport/football/39239365

I see Northern Ireland will not risk Evans in this game as needed by them next week. WTF is that all about

[Ricky]

Jaoa starts. 

[duggy9197]

mulgrew back 2-1 rovers

[Tyrone Shoelaces]

I hadn't noticed that Preston are on W6 D6 L2 out of their last 14 games.

We're talking such fine margins that I don't think you can even use the phrase to describe the situation at the moment. Otherwise you may as well say it's in Stoke's hands to win the Premier League next season. Technically it is but an educated guess would say they won't.
