As much as points aren't much for Derby these days they need a first shut out to build from under Eustace. For that reason I can see it being 0-0 or 1-0 either side unless we score early and they collapse. I think that's less likely than the other listed potentials, though. I will go 1-0 Rovers and keep some optimism after the late equaliser with ten men

The players will certainly be up for it

This is Rovers tinted glasses. He's not even playing for England regularly or doing it at a top team. He has the potential to be better than Carrick but already "some distance better than prime Carrick" is ridiculous. Players go off the boil (not that I think he will) or end up played out of position at the wrong club. Where did you rank Jones when he left us for United? I bet you had him as above Adams

If the referees have to say something as a warning with five seconds left then that's any time the keeper has it for three seconds. So the time has gone up from six seconds but requires more work from the ref. Also I feel like indirect free kicks are more dangerous than corners (though that's a guess given the stats on corners). Might make for some interesting pressing when the keeper has it and more long kicks. They are refreshing it to hope it reinvigorates the law but just order the refs to enforce the existing rule. Fine the refs if they don't enforce it enough

I think we will lose tomorrow and then go on to have a solid end to the season and be there or there abouts. Whilst a victory will see us safe of Norwich for the foreseeable (and possibly the season), I can see a defeat as he gets to grips with what he wants but it certainly won't make or break the season beyond how any game would if you miss out on the playoffs by one point or goal difference. Then every missed draw can be used as the reason why. There's no must wins until mathematical certainties present themselves, there's no games we can't win and there's no gimmes. It's the championship. Not everything has to be catastrophised, nor do we need to get carried away with optimism when on a run. Every game since Eustace left has been described as a must win, even when we won two on the bounce. Clearly no singular game is a must win right now. Some want to say that this will be the defining game but definitions can only be made later down the line and only if it fits into a trend for what transpires later.

My first Rovers memory was the Play Off final against Leicester. I had diarrhea and so my dad had to keep taking me to the toilet and miss the game. The only part I remember is the goal. I was stood on a seat to watch it but when everyone jumped up to celebrate I fell down the back and got stuck and cried and nobody realised. Still a great memory. The next earliest memory I have is the season after attending my first home game. My dad wanted to see if I was old enough to understand and value what was happening. He was enjoying the game, looked to the side and saw me with a straw poking a pie that had fallen on the floor. I didn't go again regularly until a couple of seasons later when I had my first season ticket and we won the league

Stop the unnecessary whingeing at the source and it will stop the follow up whingeing. Stop the secondary whingeing and you'll still have the first whingeing

The guy is a letter writer

What are you on about?

No such thing as a must win until it becomes mathematically necessary

Yes, I can visualise that better thank you. So he needs to maintain Lowe form

We've had three defenders that have played for Bayern already so why not have another? I'm quite optimistic

What does 1.58 PPG translate to in results in the smallest amount of games? Like finding the common denominator in fractions? Doesn't have to add up to 1.58 exact but as a guide. Obv can work out what results we need over the rest of the season but can it be broken down into smaller chunks so we can need a certain level of results over, say, five games or six games?

Why would anybody care what Tim Farron has to say about anything?
