I know it's not strictly in the rules, being a Tuesday, but would a photograph of a small dog wearing some sort of comedy clothing help?

Hmmm. Possibly. As long as it's not a pic of a dog owned by anyone from NSC in Albion clobber. That would do nothing except make me want to punch my monitor very very hard.

I'm with you. I wonder if we all got together and hugged it out, we could all move on.

No. Totally the reverse. As soon as we got Palace in the playoffs in 2013 I had the creeping onset of doom. In 2014 we pulled off a mini-miracle just getting to the playoffs and it always felt as though Derby were a class apart.

This time around I feel like we are proper contenders. We've the squad and the manager to really complete. Let's do this!

Believe! one of four teams will get promoted and we are as strong as we've ever been with the best, most experienced manager we've had in this situation. Reckon we would all have taken this position despite the bollocks that occurred on Saturday

This video reminded me of NSC over the past few days

I'm not too bothered, I think the mood might change if we get to Wembley, we should at least be grateful that we have a second chance. We are a far stronger team going into the playoffs than ever before. We just have to rally that morale and keep our heads up. We fight injustice until the very end.

Dreading it TBH.

For all the good we've done this season the only playoff team we have beaten in 90 minutes is Hull, conversely probably the only set of fans we got on alright with. I'm fully expecting a raft of jeering and gloating Wednesday fans with their stupid Sid James emoji to be smugly turning NSC properly working class in six days time. If that doesn't happen the gloating Derby w***ers that will be here over bank holiday weekend when we lose at Wembley on penalties, having had Hemed sent off for picking his nose and Stockdale also dismissed for eating his banana in a casual manner will be too much to bear.

Football can do one.

I won't be able to see any of the games, so Saturday's misery will continue till Tuesday, when I hear that we are going to Wembley.

Oh dear oh dear oh dear. We are the best team in the playoffs. Now FFS stop feeling sorry for yourselves and get behind them.

Does anyone else feel like this?

It's not that we've been there twice recently, it's not that I don't think we have a fighting chance, it's just that I STILL feel numb after Saturday. I just can't get excited by these fixtures. Anyone else feeling like this, or is it just me?

Yeah I am, sadly.

I sort of see where you are coming from but nothing good ever comes easily. If we ever get there we'll have earned it and it will feel all the sweeter.
