On a good run and now winning at Leeds, their fixtures are not to demanding.

Too late for this season. They were worried about relegation before the game kicked off.

This. Only 4 points out of the relegation zone at the start of their game today.
They're good on their day but too inconsistent which is not surprising as they have to play so many kids. Little Clough has done a very good job there IMO the past couple of seasons.

I hope he's still in charge when we play them. New manager and the players will want to prove themselves to him. They're well out of contention now.

If we win tomorrow night, they will be 8 points off play offs with 6 games left. Not a chance!
Besides, you talk about their run in not being demanding, but every one of the teams they have left to play will be fighting for their lives. As this weekend shows, those teams really are up for it as well!

Bolton the more likely wild card I think but if we win the next two the gap will be almost insurmountable given the fixtures remaining.
Massive game tomorrow especially given their good away form. Saturday is likely to set nerves jangling. Avoiding defeat this week is crucial. Winning is a bonus.

The league has a split in it. Cardiff are free at the top, then Watford and Hull are competing for 2nd. Due to form (or lack of) I think Palace, Forest, Us and Leicester are vying for the other play-offs.
Derby are 5 points behind Leicester, and tomorrow we can pull away from them. Derby need a run of 3/4 wins in a row to bridge the gap. Unlikely as they are so inconsistent.

The Derby fan I know is more worried about relegation than thinking play offs

Feel free to pass on that I think they'll be right up there next year. Young team, can only improve with experience.

Derby are only one point closer to the playoffs than they are to the relegation zone, while five points separate Birmingham in 11th and Huddersfield in 22nd.
This league really is mental.
