Now Barnsley have lost if we win today, and we win at Oakwell we could be 8 points clear of the bottom 3. Would be huge

Very good day for us whether we pick up points or not. Derby were very good and deserved to win. Just got to hope we can turn it on today and get three points. Three huge points!

Derby and Peterborough now in the position where they are more points behind than they have games left.

Derby 8 back with 7 to go. Boro 10 with 9.

Well there we have it, Barnsley away is absolutely massive, probably our biggest game since the play-off final, win and we are almost safe, lose and it`s very much touch and go.

And we’ve a game in hand on Derby still - so that’s 8 points, potentially 11

Not sure what the extra game is but if we win that they’re down

You can look it at it like that, or you can loom at it as that game is slightly less massive after today. Barnsley's next few games are tough, and they'll drop points before we meet them at Oakwell. We just need to focus on ourselves.


It`s the next game for both of us.

Ahh, well still, look at their upcoming fixtures and the away games they've got to overcome. I'd much rather be in our position. After Barnsley we're home to Stoke and Cardiff and both are winnable.

Stoke (H) on 5th April.

Looking at this stage as if a win at Barnsley all but confirms the bottom 3. Need to not lose though.

If Swift and Joao can bring their "A' Games at Barnsley then i think we may have to much for them to handle! Remember, its not only a big game for us, its also season defining for them! nerves will play a huge role in this game.
Would be nice to have a big following up their also given the importance of the game, 2'000 would be great!!

Agree - but then we also have plenty of other dangerous options - Ince, Meite, Ejaria, Hoilett - we really should have too much if we turn up fully fit and focussed

Another absolute shocker of a penalty decision for Derby today to go with Barnsley`s last week.
