It might be because they're top of the table? Just a thought?

And they play lovely, attacking football and score lots of goals.

 

[Stuart Munday]

The one good thing about us being so bad, at least we get lots of 3pm Saturday kickoffs.

 

[clippedgull]

OP fails! 6 times (5 SKY) 1(ITV) League Cup game against Chelsea is being shown live next week

It'll be even 'better' in League One.

I can't remember sky always having such a heavily weighted selection policy though.

Usually its Leeds every fortnight because of their historical following

 

[BensGrandad]

Allows us to climb the league unnoticed

 

[Gazwag]

The irony being we are on sky tonight playing what will be one of the lowest viewing figures they will have this year

But, it's a relegation 6 pointer.

 

[WhingForPresident]

They're a great side to watch in fairness (unless they're playing Brighton), absolutely ruthless in attack. That many games is overkill, obviously, but I for one would rather they obsess over Derby than the MIGHTY LEEDS (YORKSHIRE YORKSHIRE CHAMPIONS OF EUROPE) every week.

 

[Eeyore]

At least it means we can book train tickets to away games without fear or trepidation.

 

[Spun Cuppa]

We could be five points adrift of Rotherham in twenty five hours

(Or a point ahead of course...)

...or any overcrowding

 

[thedailydougle]

hopefully our next 'relegation 6 pointer' at Blackpool will be covered by sky

 

[Tooting Gull]

Don't see the problem, I enjoy watching Derby at the moment. They should have been on TV a lot more last season, but it was all QPR and Leeds, both much worse sides despite Rangers going up.

 

[Peter Grummit]

I genuinely thought our game at Fulham had been moved for Sky, obviously not.

But, it's a relegation 6 pointer.

Thats the problem,neither side will want to take a chance,whoever scores first will go on the defensive,we dont score that many so Sky is the choice.
