Cobblers v Rams

[ramAnag]

My expectations as I've consistently said all season is that Derby will finish in the top 6. I hope we get automatic promotion and I am disappointed with the loss to Northampton, but I didn't expect Derby to not drop more pts between now and the end of the season, so on that score maybe I'm more of a realist?

Hmmm…after the Bolton match and the Gayle injury you said, ‘I think we’ll be fine, just keep it tight and nick 1-0’s for the last few matches’.
I think that’s what most of us anticipated, certainly at Northampton, and I didn’t expect Derby ‘to not drop more pts’ either which is why I predicted us picking up 16 of the last 21 points available.
So…not sure why you want to become competitive over it, but I’d say that in terms of hopes, disappointment and realism we are very similar.
All I’ll add is that, in terms of automatic promotion, Friday will tell us a lot and a repeat of the away league victory, rather than the early season Cup performance at PP, would be very welcome.
