Pride Park
Derby
This is it, 5hit or bust, do or die, carpe diem or ' why are we in this position?'
The Derby Way, I'm sure it doesn't happen with other clubs. I mean if Florest can virtually wrap up promotion by September why can't we?
Funnily enough, the Baggies still harbour dark thoughts about us after Stephen Pearson's one contribution in 2007
Games like Millwall, Rotherham, Ipswich have come back to haunt us. Or have they? You deserve to be where you are after 45 games and that's precisely where we are. Still, it would be nice to have an extra game or three.
I fear our ever present Captain will not play. George Evans is the presumed replacement and should partner Tomori at the back. I wonder if we will start with Marriot as Waghorn seems somewhat blunted and is as frustrated as all of us with his progress. Tom Lawrence again owes us a performance after flickering in the last couple of games.
So if we, Bristol and Middlesbrough all lose we're 6th, ha! no-ones thought of that......incidentally, the last time we played WBA at PP in the league was in 2009.

I'm with you Backo. Leeds appear to have sheet the bed at exactly the wrong time, whereas we are coming on strong. I didn't watch this match, sensible Paul got the better of me, but, assuming the home leg is live on my app which im 99% sure it will be, it's a 4.15am kick off on Sunday morning, so I will definitely have an early start and watch that.

Mornin' View. I think an air of cautious optimism has spread over the board. 15 goals for and 2 against in the last 4 home games isn't bad.form to be approaching the play offs.

Evening view. I'm tres excitè as the clickage appears to be clickety clicking at just the right moment, combined with Leeds seemingly pooing the bed at the same time.

Mornin' Spart, Harps
Agree that we are clicking but to me (and perhaps this is hypercritical) sometimes I wince when a particular ball goes awry when a simple pass would suffice.
Again, yesterday, their goal came f of our mistake.
Cut that out and we're nailed on.

I'm most concerned about Aston villa to be honest. Obviously Leeds are a very good side but as I said, they appear to have ran out of steam at just the wrong time, we clearly have the beating of west brom, although I think villa will beat them anyway. Villa are only in the play offs because smith didn't get the whole season with them, if they had sacked potato head in the summer and brought smith in then I'm confident they would have got automatic, probably as champions.

I only saw real signs of clickage in the last 20-30 mins, but that might have been a reflection of my mental state.
I'm not sure how WBA have managed to get to 3rd. Their few chances only came when we gave the ball away in MF and they broke on us.

When we started to win the 2nd balls was when we took the game by the scruff the neck.
Incredible atmosphere y’day and to say the wet bum lot did their bit but that only spurred on the Derby faithful.
