We're spectators now. This relegation battle no longer involves us.
If I knew what I was doing I'd add a cigar smoking gif.

Our odds of going down went from 2% to 1% tonight.

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

I think 48 may already be enough.

Yep I agree

Bristol rovers basically relegated from league 1

Derby forum in meltdown. Want Rooney gone now

Serves them right for charging £25 for a few concrete steps and a portaloo

Shame for Zain

Rooney is doing well for derby isn’t he

I wouldn't be surprised if they cast him aside, and put the wally with the brolly in charge for the last three games.

Not surprised. Their problems are much bigger than him though.

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Just got back from 5 a side, what a win for Preston. 1 more win and it’s next to impossible for Derby to catch us

 

[chiefdave]

I can see Derby gong into admin, regardless of the takeover stories.

Don't really wish the sort of trouble we've had on anyone but bringing Rooney in then not having the money to pay wages then signing loads of players in the window isn't going to make many people sympathetic if it does happen.

Give this man a call

 

[SkyBlue_Bear83]

Derby need 5 points from last 3 to overtake us now

 

[Macca]

Derby will get 4 at best. Celebrating by Sat night I reckon

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Listened to the Derby phone in, all desperate for McClaren to be given the last 3 games

They must be desperate!

 

[Ccfcisparks]

You’ve got to feel we are safe now. Can’t see us not getting another 3 points, and that means Derby would need to win their last 3 too.

Exactly the sort of mad shit that puts you in admin too

I think managers should be subject to the same restrictions on movement as players and clubs should only be allowed to change manager during transfer windows.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

They must be desperate!

A lot of it was very close to the things we were saying in 2012, outraged at the idea of going down to L1, comical managerial appointment, clueless owners etc etc.

It would certainly stop Robins going to Spurs wouldn't it

Yes and no, players are usually sold not sacked!

 

[Magwitch1]

I think Sheffield Wednesday might pull survival off Derby’s legs have gone and I don’t think Rotherham will get another nine points. Actually would like Sheffield to do it.

 

[Ccfcisparks]

I’m still looking at Rotherham and Derby’s remaining fixtures, worrying how they can catch us. Please win tomorrow city and put me out my misery

I think it may well prove to be too little too late for them.

It's conceivable Derby get no more points playing like they did tonight, equally in this insane league they could win the lot! Best to just leave it in the hands of the footballing gods

You’re right BSB. Although it’s the Coventry fan in me that’s putting the doubt there!

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

He's given up I think

"The first goal of the game is a number of mistakes from players who have been very important to us, so it's part of the game that's very frustrating as a manager.

"We are conceding too many sloppy goals and yet again a few half-chances for us, but we don't score.

"We have given ourselves an uphill battle in the next three games. We have to hope that other teams lose and we have to try and win our games to give ourselves a chance of staying in the league."

Me too but is it likely derby or Rotherham are gonna get a win between them given their current form?

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

The only times we've gone down in my lifetime we were in the relegation zone for most of the season (2001, 2012, 2017). This season we were in it for about a week but most of the time have been clear and have a winning or equal record against the sides below us. Job not entirely done but it would take a very unlikely turn of results for us to drop.

 

[jordan210]

We just need to keep doing. What we are doing till we are mathematically safe.

But I do think Rotherham will survive by goal difference or 1 point.

I did think Hudd would be down but they sorted them selves out.

 

[steve cooper]

Derby are bottom of the form table for the last 6, 8, 10, & 12 games.

I’ve been worried about this very thing...mindset of a paranoid Cov fan. My rationale is there’s always a team that drops into the relegation zone from nowhere, and that this season it would be us.
I’m starting to feel more confident that it won’t be...I won’t be 100% until it’s 100% guaranteed!

 

[skybluesam66]

I just did the predictor, and made every single game go against us
we were still only relegated by 2 points
