Also. That Kabano looks a good player for Fulham

Was an incredible goal, and Parker stated after the game that they did indeed work on it on the training ground.
Really was an incredible game last night, am looking forward to seeing these in the Premiership next season.
Brereton the goal machine.
What a response and run of results since the humiliation against Fulham about a month ago, and it’s nice to see us beating Preston at home for the first time for more than 20 years.

Fancy you guys to get 2nd now if you keep Brereton Diaz for the full season. Got all the momentum now.
Scott Parker again bottling automatic promotion from this league.
I don't get it with Parker either, nothing special imo. With Brereton Diaz is this potential finally being fulfilled or a big purple patch?
Any 'boro fans on here? How is Šporar viewed? Personally I'm quite surprised by his goal tally in the Championship as he seemed to score only in weaker leagues.
I know a few. They love him.
Fulham going absolutely nuts in front of goal.
Played 26, scored 70. Next highest has 44.
19 goals in the last 3 games, 3 more than Barnsley have scored all season.
Mitrovic on 27 by himself, more goals than 6 teams have scored altogether and the same as another 3.

Still starting Tim Ream and Dennis Odoi...it'll be the same story in the prem next season if they can't sort that defense out.

Former Rangers and Ajax striker, now managing Hull
I don't know why hull sacked their manager? Newly promoted and they were not in relegation zone... What more did they want?
Jesus watching the Derby match the average age of Derby's front 6 is about 20. Aside from Tom Lawrence they're all straight from Derby's academy.
Derby do it again. Probably would have been disallowed in the premier league but, g’wan Wayne.
2-2, this Derby team made up of kids just does not give up.
Wazza's got the spirit in this team. They never give in.
Yes! My mate is a brummy so I'll be texting him some laughing emojis 
7 points from safety with 18 games to go
Rooney and his boys are off the bottom. He will keep them up won't he?

feck that. Luton 3 points off play-offs with a game in hand... we're gonna do it! I can feel it in my bones! I am 100% sure we'll feck it up!
Nathan Jones is doing an excellent job once again at Luton. It's odd though how he can be so good at Luton but awful for Stoke, could be down to size of club and expectations i don't know., but Jones and Luton seem to fit like a glove. Are you not worried about him getting poached again at some point in the future?
I don't think he'll turn his back on us again. I know there were talks when Cardiff or someone like that sacked their manager but I'm relaxed. Love his enthusiasm and passion.
Yeah i think you'll be safe from teams like Cardiff as there's no reason to make that move. I was more thinking if a Prem side wanted to take a punt on him but i don't think he's ready for that yet. I remember being really impressed with your summer transfer window and thought you could be a dark horse for the play offs like Barnsley last year.
I caught the game a few weeks ago where you got a 97th minute winner but i can't remember who it was against but the atmosphere was brilliant. I think Jones's passion works well with your ground where it's so compact and the fans are right on the pitch it's a real pain for teams to go there. By the way if you got promoted does Kenilworth ground fit the criteria to be a prem ground or would that be a problem?
Oh yeah that was against Bournemouth I think. What a goal too by big Kal Naismith!
Not sure what the PL criteria is for grounds but we are moving soon to Power Court, which I'm sure will adhere to all criteria.
I don't know what the criteria is either but i remember when Blackpool got promoted they had trouble with their ground and had to do work to be able to host Premier League football.
12.5k capacity is the minimum
Ahh the current Kenny is only just above 10,000. Power Court will be more than double that.
Good game tonight in Blackburn - Forest, both battling for a promotion spot, and given the recent form of both clubs, an automatic promotion spot. Haven't actually watched Brereton Diaz live so a good chance to watch for that, and of course our Garner will play for Forest.
On Derby - last night's win takes them to effectively 3 points off of safety given their +20 GD compared to Reading. Given that Reading have managed about 3 points in their last 10 games, whereas Derby have managed about 20, even a halving off their recent PPG would see Reading leapfrogged before long.
One thing that sticks out in my mind is the benefit of having a Cat 1 academy, as Derby do. They've been fielding a lot of academy players in their side, due to a combination of the transfer embargo and loosing players to make ends meet (and being unable to renew players out of contract, like Jagielka). Most of their midfield and attack is under 21, and yet they look very good. I know Brentford were known for binning their academy as it was costly to maintain, but it can be beneficial when you have the scope to give those academy players regular minutes.

Reading have sacked Paunovic and put Paul Ince as interim

It's a cold Wednesday night away at Stoke... We're fecked
Your manager is also facing his former club, yeah you are. Although now all this has been said you'll probably win now.It's a cold Wednesday night away at Stoke... We're fecked
Derby's lineup today has 7 academy players starting, all aged around 20. It might end up being too much for them but it's mad that they're even fighting to stay up.
Have to say must be fun to watch the young lads give it a go, I wouldn't mind trading the constant top 4 race for a season where we just go all out and play the likes of Garner, Mejbri etc, probably be a relegation scrap but would be fun to watch.

Although we do have some talented youngsters, i doubt we'd do as well as Derby's youngsters are currently doing. Mainly because of all the crap that's been thrown at Derby this season what with the points deductions, unable to sell the club, being routinely screwed over by the EFL, problems with Steve Gibson and also potential liquidation. Because of all of that it feels like they've adopted a real "us against the world" siege mentality that's making them perform well beyond what's expected. If they do stay up, with all that's happened, i genuinely believe the only thing that rivals it is Leicester winning the league.
Imagine they stay up by 1 point and EFl said "oh shit guys, forgot to say, we're deducting another two points"
