sturutter Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 If games kicked off at the same time, as they should, Derby's strategy would not be clear-they may settle for a point as much as playing to win. Once they know our result, their strategy becomes much clearer 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The EFL 's problem is they have happily taken Sky's money, so don't have a say in the matter. .

If there's a surge in claims, will it be null and void ? If it goes like our season, you’ll throw your shoe at your telly but miss. Because your tellys in a corner, Bannan will try and take it but only succeed in hitting the first man with it, shattering in a million pieces. You’ll think you’ve got away with it when DC announces he’s back dated your home & contents insurance claim to last season but Dawson will mishandle your claim and...... you guessed it you’ve no telly, you’re skint and we’re in League One. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeonLeon Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 Don’t see the advantage myself. Derby have to have their team sheet in half way through the 2nd half of our game. Even then the likelihood is they’ll need to win to guarantee safety anyway, regardless of how our games going/gone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Jockstrap Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 Oh for the love of God when will this torture end. Bloody Forest sent us down years ago, remember it well. Can’t remember the year though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It worked well for us in 2012 - We beat Brentford then the pigs bottled it against Stevenage in the tea time kick off. I do wonder if the extra pressure of the need to win had an affect on them.

bigash_swfc Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 Used to be a time when I worked a night shift & ran to Hillsborough for 12.30am. Now I'm working a night shift and can't be bothered to wake up for it. Not a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smhouston Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 4 hours ago, Jim said: It isn’t really. We’ve got to win regardless. Only thing is Derby know they would need to win to send us down if we prevail against Forest. Of course it is! We have to better Derby result, even a draw-loss would be enough on Saturday to take it to the last day (ignoring Rotherham). If we draw Saturday, Derby now know they just need a point to send us down and will affect how they play Absolutely scandalous it's allowed to go ahead 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roscoe P. Coltrane Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 I hope Odubago is there on Saturday so he can high five Grabban when he scores the winner in the 97th minute 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we beat the pigs to promotion in 2012, it certainly helped our cause when we beat Brentford and they then had to play Stevenage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hughdowd Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 If we go 2-0 down ... fans should start to gather at Hillsborough and let the players and Chansiri know just what a complete boll##ks they’ve made of it .. while it’s still live on sky !!!
