It's on. It's possible. It's nowhere near guaranteed. What it is, is very extraordinary when you look at 5 man squad in the first week of July. Whatever happens, this is a season that keeps on giving.
Morecambe came for a 0-0 and hope to maybe nick one on the break. Their tactics worked for 44 minutes. 45th minute goal was deserved and a well taken free kick by us allied to poor defence by them. 2nd half. On 47 minutes it's 2-0. 3 minutes later it's 3-0 via a penalty. Didzy hattrick. From no hattrick's in his entire career to 3 in 89 days. That makes him the first Ram to score 3 hattricks in a season since Zak in 73/74. A 2nd penalty well put away by Collo made it 4 and a very well worked goal from Knighty made it 5. Could have been 10.
Another clean sheet too. Great performance. It's not often we put a weak side to the sword but we did it yesterday. Onwards and upwards.
Yeah not guaranteed and probably more likely to be play offs, but to even be talking about it is amazing. Play offs do look likely provided we dont have a run of form like we did in 2015.
Seemed unlikely just a few matches ago and there will be wobbles. Hopefully they’re as likely to come from Plymouth, who’ve had things largely there own way since September, as us. The match at Home Park is looking massive but, as MA says, just to be talking like this, considering where we were just seven months ago, is a huge achievement. Fortune and fitness will be crucial in the coming months.Quote:

Amongst a lot of good goals that Collins pen was my favourite, it would have been easier to have placed it but I’m glad he gave it some serious wellie
Be nice wouldn’t it? I think I corrected it to 86 and that’s certainly within reach.Quote:

I was confident about this game, but Derby exceeded even my expectations. Good to see the GD improving.
I still refuse to look further than the play offs, but Warne has done wonders, especially when you think he didn't assemble this team! Credit to Rosenior for the work him and his team did.
