    Nice thread Mex <ok>

    Now our season is pretty much over, I would have liked us to try a few new things... maybe try out a few of the youngsters who we intend to use next season - what has happened to O'Nien and Sheff Utd? Shame Ikpeazu wasn't back with us too

    As for the match... not a great deal to play for now so hopefully it will be a pretty free-flowing game. Will go for a 2-2!

    And as payback for the home defeat, score the winner from an offside position...

    We can't do any worse than we did there last season - it was bad enough for me to have wished I'd gone to Crewe with the Coventry fans who were on the same train as me for part of my journey.

    After the QPR performance I think we're in with a shout here. 2-1 to the Golden Boys.

    In fantasy world the only results that will make sure we aren't still in the running for a play off place is for us to drop any points at Derby and for Reading to beat Doncaster - all else means we can still dream ...

    Afternoon all, good to be back for a Saturday game. Hope that we can put up a good show and even win three points although I am not banking on it. Craig Ramage saying that Derby have been playing bright, attractive and attacking football, just as Watford did last season. Forsyth has been their most improved player, settling well into the full back position.

    Not that it matters but also come a cropper with a Forest win as they play Brighton next week and we couldn't catch them both.

    Hornet Player working well and the stream looks as if it will deliver.

    The other stream isn't working either - watching without commentary on wizwig - Deeney has just scored
