I prefer us being the underdogs. We've got nothing to lose.

Seems reasonable - they finished three places and thirteen points ahead of us, and did the double over us this season. Still, this is football (thank goodness) and though they might be the favourites to win, there's absolutely no guarantee that that will happen.
Thought this - http://dcfcfans.co.uk/topic/14551-play-offs-stats/ -was quite interesting on their website - finishing 6th. seems to be a better bet than finishing 4th. (which certainly didn't do much for us last season!)

As some have said on their forum, it's two teams who like to "play football" so should be a good game. Would sooner be knocked out by them then QPR!

The pressure is on them we are the underdogs. Not that impressed by them in the two games this season. Nailed on penalty turned down for us at the Amex and they got the rub of the green in a poor game up there. Derby are eminently beatable and we go into these games with very little pressure on us.

Of all the teams we could have got they're easily the team I'd least mind losing to. Bring them on

The were very average against us at pride park this season. Should have been a draw. As far as I can remember that was with the JFC, Andrews and Ince midfield trio also. Take any type of lead to the 2nd leg and I'd fancy our chances.

I think we have a reasonable chance , rather Derby than either Wigan or QPR at this stage !

Its going to be our year...There I've said it. We've been so blindingly average all season that we are bound to go up.

When i wrote that, I was thinking of them in place of us, and definitely in place of QPR.

Being favourite brings its own pressure....we honestly have nothing to lose.

We have beaten the Champions Leicester, Home and Away.
In football anything can happen on the day.
Home advantage in the first leg is an added bonus.

I dunno, do the 3rd place team always do well in play offs?

We felt EXACTLY the same ladlt year when we finished the season so well and had an out of form Palace. That worked out well

They have a ****ton of quality attacking players and barely conceded a goal in the second half of the season.
But we completely failed to utilise the same attributes last season so....
Hope Bamford gets a knock (just something light) and has to come off early in both games.
