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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

(Or a point ahead of course...)

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

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.

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

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.
