    We have history of fading from late January onwards so we cant rely on us getting over the line.

    One thing going for us is Rowett, he didnt get his head turned like mcclaren did in 2014/15, he quickly moved to show his commitment. Plus i still think mcclaren ntt holding onto ibe was also a turning point in hindsight

    I hope we do it, weve put ourselves into another strong position, we have a much stronger defence this time round, better morale, better team spirit. Itd be nice to finally say "we are going up". But if we do, the novelty of the premiership will quickly wear off and we'll why all the fuss to get there in the first place lol.

    Exactly my point. You can a tough time in the Prem, therefore it's important to enjoy the promotion season. Get all excited over it. Because a tough will follow, therefore enjoy the chase. It doesn't happen often.

    One word - Leicester

    They gave everyone hope the the impossible can happen.

    You can't take the prize if you're not at the show.

    In one season Leicester showed like Greece in Euro 2004 that the underdog sometimes wins.

    We might get thrashed week in week out if we make it but we can say we were there.

    I've read previous posts, people saying they don't want us to go up but I want my boy to see Harry Kane, Edin Hazard and the like at Derby on a weekly basis. If little else it builds the fan base and dreams of another generation.

    Late night drink and a moment of thought for my team and where I want them to be.

    Sitting where we are every win is bigger than the last.

    Agree with this, also surprised he couldn't get a better goal return from Lingaard.

    I'm shocked we are where we are, but it's good fun, and I think the weight of expectancy, surprisingly, is lower than it has been in recent years, which can only be a good thing.

    Wolves aren't untouchable, they are in a similar position to what we've been in, it can easily go wrong and quick! I'd rather we were looking up than back, it keeps us fighting as an "underdog".
