Not interested in what Derby do even though the chances of them finishing forth is ridiculously slim as hull have Rotherham at home on the last game.
Don't feel any pressure what's so ever today as even a loss means we go to Boro needing a win to go up...That's something we thought would happen and sometimes it's better needing to win than needing a draw.
If we do win and Burnley cock up which is also very possible then all the better,but the focus is going to Boro to win

I never buy into all this 'they will put out a weaker team to prepare for another match...etc etc"
It does happen in cup matches and when teams have absolutely nothing to play for. But these are rare exceptions.
Why would Derby risk losing this match? All managers will talk about a 'winning mentality', especially as their team approaches two of the most important games in the club's history.
And imagine if we did say beat them 3-0 - how would that help Derby's morale if we were to meet them in the play-off final?
They have a very good record against us - and will wish to keep it that way.
Make no bones about this - it's a very tough match and the pressure is firmly on us, not them.

Hull put out a weakened team on Saturday at Bolton and lost, so teams in this league do although it's not something I agree with
They'll have to be quick.

Hmmm... even if we lose, we still get a crack at auto promotion. Yes, if we win, we only need a draw at 'boro (ignoring the Burnley games). However, if they lose, they still get a play-off spot, so it's not really the case that the pressure is firmly on us over them. Still, I agree this is a very tough game. That said I genuinely believe they will not be motivated to play less-than-100% players, because the play-off games are far, far more important to them.

They have just interviewed Graham Moseley on Radio Sussex, he is at the game to support the Albion. Doesn't get to many games but was at Hereford on that fateful day, top man!

Fair point. When referring to 'higher pressure on us', I was speaking of the high stakes. If we draw or lose this game, it means our chances of automatic promotion have diminished. But a victory would not only give us momentum, but also a greater chance of going straight up. Despite what some theorists will say, in my mind a draw is always easier than a win!
Derby on the other hand will no doubt love to win this (on the basis of my previous post). But it can'd decide directly on whether they gain promotion.
We are also at home in front of an expectant, bumper crowd. Think the pressure is on us.

It was noticeable against QPR, just how nervous we were for the first 25 minutes or so.
Bruno had an absolute shocker in the first half. The players and the crowd were feeding off each others nerves and not in a good way. Luckily 2 moments of sheer genius, turned things around.
It's important that we channel our nervous energy into raucous vocal support today and to keep that going throughout the game.
Do whatever you need to go to get your vocal chords working to their best effect.
I for one will be having an extra pint prior to kick off. That normally does the trick.

I'm going to stay up for this one, I should still get at least 6 hours sleep !
I love afternoon kick offs.
If all goes well, I have organised a gathering for next Saturday's game.
About a dozen expats coming round to watch the last game on my 65 inch smart TV.
Kick off will be at 7pm here and the Mrs will be staying with her friend.
PARTY !!!!!!!

Looking forward (rather nervously) to watching this in my local. I'm certain the calming influence of beer will be needed...........................
