If we don't get enough to survive then we can thank the, seemingly, everlasting injury wave that has seen us forced to play 2nd string players out of position.

Boro game. Good start, less so finish. I'd just started to think we could nick a point. Enter the Jackson pass and it's all over.

So by your reckoning then, even if you win the 7 games you don't have down for defeat, you think it's all over?

Sorry Maddy, with you already conceeding 4 games, It sounded like you had surrendered. You would have effectively have to win every one of those remaining games to survive? Thats not including the opposition going on any runs.
Hull won tonight, 7 points now adrift. Want to review it?

Not really :) 7 points adrift now so survival is less likely but with Derby, you never know. Come Satdeh evening we could be just 4 points....

We still have to play 6 of the bottom 8 and PNE who are 15th. Our other opponents are currently 3rd, 5th, 6th and 8th.

The odds are definitely against us but, once a Ram, always a Ram. I'll be at PP Satdeh and Tuesday. Back again for the Stoke game on May 3rd. We're Derby County, we'll fight to the end.

Fans never give up but unfortunately our bunch of no hopers have sod all to fight with! At least the likes of Hull have shown some bottle and ability, good luck to them!

One would assume that Mr Clowes is already preparing for another dip into the murky waters of the 3rd tier and a major clear out of the underperforming non footballers masquerading as Rams is high on the Managers thoughts.

Rebuild number..... I've lost count how many,.... begins now!

I've not given up but I have to admit it's more hope than expectation.

If the club hierarchy think the same as Private Frazer, then it has to be time to blood some of the young guns and impress upon them that they can't fail. We may lose, we may lose heavily BUT they will gain vi-tal experience with the added bonus that the coaches can see who looks 1st XI possibles for next season.
