Very m8, Derby always seem to have a bit of a hold on us, so to do the double over them this season is pleasing.

We still need to cut out the silly mistakes at the back though.

Great goal from Windass, but Gassema's pace gave their defence loads of problems today.

So; just over halfway through the season. Are you daring to dream about the play offs (can't see you getting a top two spot)?

You're not that far away from them (your GD isn't great, though).

Nah, we have a bottom 6 squad rather than a top 6 one.

If we can finish comfotably mid-table and not bother the relegation battle I'll take that.

I think next summer will be big for us though, as if not gone already Rohl will go along with some key players, then trauma of letting Chancer pick a replacement will be it's usual circus.

Didn't I hear you expressing fears at the end of last season, that you thought you'd lose Rohl during the summer? What's the accepted safety points total in the Championship; mid-high forties? So, four more wins should see you safe. Out of 19 games. Piece of piss. Remember what I told you all last winter and spring? Believe. Have some faith in your team.

It can change season to season, Birmingham went down with 50 last season, season before that Reading went down with 44.

Most ever is Peterborough on 54.

Let's get to 50 and see where we are, I do think we need a CB in January.

A cracking goal by Windass today.

Even the knobs on Soccer Special thought it was better than dozy David's effort.

If Rohl goes then that loon deserves everything thrown at hima higher midtable finish will be classed as a good season dont you think

To be fair, if a "bigger" club comes calling for him, he's likely to go. And if that does happen. I'm not sure there's much blame to be attached to Chansiri. He can't chain him to the goalposts at Hillsborough!

We all accept he will move on to a bigger/better Rohl (roll) ;) but there seems to be a bit of tension over the january window. If the chairman doesn't meet the managers aspirations then I could see this being the point where an exit comes to the fore.

Absolutely, which is why he has put a compensation price on his head after what happened with Steve Bruce.

The worry for me would be his replacement, Chancer seems to get 1 in 4 right. Danny Rohl's exploits last season took a lot of the heat off the chairman, if it all goes south than Hillsborough once again will become toxic.
 
The most in form side in EFL is Salford. 5 straight wins and no goals conceded.

Suppose with a £3m wage budget that’s to be expected in League 2.
