There but for the grace of God and a few unexpected results before xmas... On the other hand, if Koroma in particular (and a few others) had stayed fit, we'd have been comfortably mid-table and on the beach weeks ago

How the mighty have fallen when Derby are celebrating like they’ve won the Champions League rather than just staying in the Championship 😄😄 Wouldnt quite put Derby in the 'mighty' category...but yeah they`re not a team you`d be expecting to fighting against relegation to the lower reaches.

I'm not sure there have been enough defensive injuries to write that off, especially as we conceded similar last season.

Do you think a full strength team would have had an identical record to the ragtag bunch of kids and journeymen we actually were forced to use? If Koroma hadn't been injured we'd have almost certainly scored more, so even if the defence had been just as sh!te our GD would have improved

Wednesday could be playing Salford City or Forest Green next season. Fucking massive. Where's operation pig when you need him?

The Salford game is kicking off an hour later than everyone else. Now that is unfair!
Actually doesn't really matter. They just have to win regardless to have a chance.

We both knew a draw would be enough. Shitt happens. Yeah they should have started on time but there's still an extra 7 or 8 mins of time in this game due to injuries. A draw was enough for us. As it turned out a draw was enough for Barnsley as well. However, if Peterborough had scored in the last minute, Barnsley would have gone down. Yep. That day was great, but I still can't help thinking how much I'd have laughed my cock off if Peterborough had scored after our game had finished.

If Koroma hadn't been injured we'd have almost certainly scored more, so even if the defence had been just as sh!te our GD would have improved I'm not having a go here I'm just trying to analyse it logically. Yes we would have scored more with a fully fit Koroma but we are not 20th by GD so the question is with us conceding at least 70 for the second season in a row (I dont think we looked back as last season being too injury ravaged) would that improved GD be converted into extra points and how many? I've wanted a better quality striker here since PL days but now the priority has to be firmng up the defence and giving what we have up front a fighting chance. I'd still like someone coming in thats better than Koroma, Ward, Campbell and whoever elsebut on a budget we've got to stop the rot at the back. Rotherham are the other side of the coin, not being beaten by big margins but not putting their chances away and it's cost them so I can see both sides of it well enough.

Finally the curtain comes down on a truly awful season and we couldn't even manage to get to 50 points. Wycombe showed incredible fighting spirit and deserved to stay up far more than we did.
Derby you are a bunch of lucky bastards too, but I'm pleased for the Wendies. Shame our old friend operation pig has gone to ground.

99% of Town fans wanted RRum to stay up- smallest budget,good manager at this level and full on commitment- they should have won easily against us,not drawn,and would have stayed up if they had done that.Shame as Derby are basically a dishonest club.

Given they got 97 points and won the league comfortably, I assume Farke will be nominated for manager of the world?

Five added minutes in the first half at Derby, one minute at Cardiff. Second halves kick off over 11 minutes apart. Derby play out for a draw in a game they thought they had to win.
You won’t hear anything about it though cause it’s Rotherham.

You won’t hear anything about it though cause it’s Rotherham. They started 2 mins late ffs. It's not as big a deal as people are making out. There were 6 extra minutes in the Derby game, so even if they'd started bang on time they'd have had that 6 mins knowing the other score.

How’s that fair. I watched that Derby game, they stopped going for the win, simple.

Everything else was just the delays in the game itself. Although I can't remember, it wouldn't surprise me if they stopped going forward so much when Rotherham conceded.

It’s the sort of trick i’d of associated with Danny Cowley. Sheffield Wednesday also played their part in delaying the second half. It backfired big time on them as Derby would have been throwing players forward increasing Wednesday’s chances of nicking one.

Good of Sky to leave the crowd noise on during a minutes silence before the Pompey game. Disrespectful fuckers.
