If Rotherham win midweek they could relegate both Wednesday and the sheep, and with Portsmouth, Sunderland, Ipswich and Charlton around next year it certainly looks competitive!

Also noticed Wigan struggling at wrong end of the table! If want an example of how badly it can go.....

Trying to put positive spin on a dire situation, in reality, I can’t, it’s a quagmire of a division, and from what I have seen, if you don’t escape at the first attempt you can be stuck there for quite a while. That said I still believe the sheep will escape, most seasons home advantage counts, unfortunately not this. As stated earlier, and with the strangeness of this season don’t bet against Rotherham pulling off the near impossible. It’s a shame there won’t be any fans there, as I remember our game against Ipswich a few seasons ago, yes it turned out well but the atmosphere was awesome, especially at full time. I’m with Joe Worrall on this one, yes it’s nice to see the sheep squirm, bit I value the East Midlands Derby matches even more. The initial question, how would they cope ? I think they’d struggle, particularly if the takeover fell through.

All OK here

It’s good to see you on here again mate

Local rivalry aside it is sad that two biggish clubs are fighting to avoid the third tier. Both easily average 20000+ attendances in the Championship and would fill their grounds in the Prem.

I've only seen a very small sample of League 1 on Quest but to be honest it looks like more teams are trying to play football and fewer playing hoofball than when we were there. Even so everyone's priority is not dropping down to league 2.

But to answer the question if Derby do go down they will be in really serious trouble. They have a poor squad and a poor manager and no money. I can't see anybody wanting to come in and start throwing money at a badly run league 1 club when there are plenty of badly run Championship clubs to pick from. Rooney wont be staying. They could get lucky and get a new manager who is a really good motivator and a few good loans and freebies. That is there only hope. Otherwise all they have is years of local rivalry with Burton Albion. (Fingers crossed we draw them in the cup)

We should all be thankful to Derby for keeping the season alive and keeping us all entertained.

They could be playing FGR next season!

Like the Owl eluded to, Wednesday already think they’re down so there’s no real pressure on them. Who’d be a Derby fan right now.

Dis Championship board would be a lot less busy. Last season we lost Lids who were the biggest contributers. Derby are currently the biggest contributers and if we lose dem maybe the Championship board dies !!
