Derby or Rotherham

[TrickyTrev]

Whenever Toy Town get relegated they always seem to go straight back up, I think Derby would be in a similar mess to us though so I’d sooner see them drop with us.

[Geedee]

 

Derby will be more competition for us in the 3rd , we will normally beat the mini pigs , so I hope Rotherham get relegated 

[SwellOwl]

Tough one really, something about Derby going down would be hilarious. Living in East Midlands, plenty of people I know to ridicule! 

[Animis]

I can't see the takeover going through if Derby are relegated, unless it's a fire sale and then other parties come into play.

 

Rotherham still remain the favourites to join us and Wycombe.

Rotherham. Another local side in a higher league than us, no thanks. 

[Beauchief Owl]

Derby will have more resources than Rotherham to mount a challenge in L1, however Rotherham already have a physical team that have done well in L1 so might actually be better equipped to meet the challenge. On balance I'd like to see Huddersfield go down.

[Dutch McLovin]

Get Derby down with us 

[Kanye West]

Derby for me, never liked em they’re proper tinpot. 

[Spookone]

You’ve got to think Derby would be more of a “force” in L1 next season so Rotherham without a doubt.

[Sheff74]

Rotherham, as in theory they should be less of a threat next season, but then again that logic hasn't worked too well in our last matches against them.

 

In any case, I don't see the bottom 3 changing.  I am fairly confident that Derby, Hudders and Brum will all win at least one more game, and Cov will pick up a point or 2. So the target for survival is going to be 46/47 points at least.

 

Even with their games in hand, Rotherham probably won't hit that total. They are too inconsistent and fatigue from playing so many games in such a short time will continue to plague them.

 

And this goes without saying, but Wednesday have got no chance.

Paul Warne has done a decent job on a small budget with a tiny squad, they have been hit with COVID on a few occasions and the EFL have just launched games at them, I think they have played 4 in 8 days, or are in the process of doing so.

 

I am by no means a Rotherham fan, but I am from Rotherham so like to see local teams doing well, I wouldn’t begrudge Barnsley getting promoted either.

 

If it was a straight choice between Wednesday and Rotherham staying up, obviously I’d choose Wednesday but we are too far gone now. 
 

There’s a bit of a love in for Derby at the minute on Talksport, as mentioned above, Frank Lampards Derby, Wayne Rooneys Derby $hite, it is annoying and would be far funnier to see them slum it in league one next year. 
 

 

behind this and operate within their means with a plan, all day over Shrek and Derby

they have every chance to go Huddersfield tbh

I live in Derbyshire now and at the pub Last night as the scores came through, I couldn't resist shouting you're going down with the Wednesday at them. At least the last game might have something riding on it. 

[unkastav]

Derby. Cant stand them. Always think they are better and bigger than they are... nottinghams a thousand times better than derby and they are often reminded

[Taximark]

Would love it if Derby needed a point from us on the last day and we beat them but knowing our gutless lot we would roll over for them.

For anyone wanting Derby to come down, just remember that league 1 next season is already likely to have 3 from 4 of Sunderland, Ipswich, Portsmouth and Charlton.

 

All powerful clubs at that level, and already better acclimatised than we will be.

 

We don't need Derby in the mix as well.

[morganowl]

to think next season clubs like weds sunderland and derby to be in league 1 at the same time is unreal add to that portsmouth ipswich charlton ,when has the 3rd tier of football had a set of clubs as big as those at the same time?

Except it won't be. We'll just be one of a few big clubs in a poo league, with a target on our back.

Good point and everybody will be up to beat us.
