Safe last week. Relegation trouble again. wouldn't say relegation trouble we are 4 games unbeaten there is 5 teams worst than us but out of teams around us we are the in form team but I can see us beating brentford, carlos will have his team working hard in training and play to our best we'll beat them

Brentford faltering, us getting players back. Town could go and win this game.

Just got to beat Rotherham and Coventry, people need to stop panicking if another team wins a match in and around the relegation zone. Rotherham look worryingly good at set pieces They’ve too much to do if we beat them, they’ll blow up I reckon. They had an ideal fixture today against a team that weren’t interested!

As others have said it could be worse. I know it's Bournemouth but if we win the game in hand it'd put us 16th. Still very much in our own hands. Sticking to my start of season prediction of bottom third finish but not relegated.

Other clubs will fight and pick up wins. People need to focus on the Huddersfield games don't start celebrating thinking we're safe then going completely the other way when something like today happens. We need to pick up our own points just like Wednesday and Rotherham did today.

We deserve to be closer to the bottom three
42 points from 37 is terrible - can’t dress it up any other way
Said for weeks Weds points difference means well be fine - that in itself means we’re 7 points from relegation zone not 4 which is a fairer reflection of our football / results

Our relegation odds with William Hill were slightly reduced today from 10/1 to 9/1.

Despite folk saying none of the bottom 4 look capable of putting any sort of run together, they will, it always happens when it gets to last chance saloon. Although points on the board for the bottom 3 today, those Wednesday and Rotherham away wins at places we never win make for an uncomfortable couple of weeks now. Like others say, we'll just have to do the job ourselves and not worry about others picking up wins! Just coz we don’t get points at those places doesn’t mean others don’t, they might be happy hunting grounds for Wednesday and Rotherham. Of course we’ll have to do the job ourselves, 42 points was never going to be enough. And if we don’t, we deserve to go down. It was always going to be a mixed bag today, 3 decent results and 2 disappointing, not a bad return. Uncomfortable 2 weeks? Not for me.

Really strange league. No nailed on games. So many teams in the mix down the bottom, we just need to get a couple of wins now as I can see some around us struggling. I can see us getting 3 points next weekend but the trip to Norwich a few days later could be too big an ask. Rotherham did well today but they have a tough run of games in a short space of time. Don't you love football. Please can you let us know how we can get 3 points next weekend? I feel we play better against more open sides. If our defence holds I think we can beat Brentford. We put 4 past Swansea. It is the ‘none shall pass’ solid defences we struggle against. I think we are in with a shout.

I think 1 point from the next 2 is okay. I'm worried about a morale battering against Norwich though.

Cant see us getting anything from our next two. Another resigned to losing the next two games straight off the back of improved performances, we haven`t even played today ffs. Are you not allowed to give an opinion anymore on how you see results panning out. I best tell the bookies to shut up shop. Thinking we will lose our next two games to two promotion chasers isnt half as daft as people saying we are to good to go down based on the results of drawing to Cardiff and Wednesday and beating QPR.

Our relegation odds with William Hill were slightly reduced today from 10/1 to 9/1. Sounds about right. I think realistically it’ll be Wycombe, Wednesday (likely to run out of games) and one of Rotherham, Birmingham and Coventry. Us, Derby, Forest and PNE should be safe unless the bottom teams hit promotion form.

Our big problem is the fixtures we have left - almost all against those aspiring to be promoted or those fighting the drop. Only Blackburn look to be in neither camp. Others fighting the drop have less challenging run-ins. We do, however, still have a reasonable points advantage - the home game v Rotherham looks a key game.

Harping back to our relegation odds, Forest, same points played a game more are 25 to 1 to be relegated. This just shows how much harder our fixtures are compared to theirs.

Other relegation threatened teams are picking up results against top sides we should be aiming to do this too especially with players coming back

The hypocrisy of the radio Derby commentators moaning about Stoke falling over all the time, and that their players are more streetwise than the Derby ones. Selective memory. Or Jim White on Talkshite saying a few weeks ago "Rooney has done a cracking job leading Derby to safety" or Adrian (forgot his second name) saying on Talkshite today after the draw at Brentford "Houghton has done a cracking job leading Forest to safety".

I think we are in with a shout. not playing next weekend! One of the things I have found with retirement, I was going to blame lockdown but I don’t think that has made much difference to my perception of time, is there are fewer reference points with regards to dates. I did look, and I did see, the match was April 3rd, and even though I knew the equinox was on the 20th of March, it did not all click into place. As for Overton’s first question, which should have made me think a bit, it didn’t😗 Thanks to you all for your patience 👨🦳

I agree, it’s easy to lose perception of time at the moment. Next weekend they’ll be almost no football to watch which is never good.
