Could genuinely see Forest and Derby go down this season.

Hope so. Would be nice for them too as they can have their little trophy game in league one 

[The Horse's Mouth]

Actually wouldn't mind seeing Derby stay up, would be a remarkable achievement with dad's army playing

The wider footballing world don't give them anywhere near enough shit for playing for an actual trophy.

I know it’s mental.

It's cause they're irrelevant really, if they did that shit in the prem they'd be constantly shamed

Fair point. Imagine the response if Man United and Man City battled it out for the 'Dennis Law' trophy.

They would if they were remotely relevant. Derby are legitimately known  as that small club that once got 11 points.

As said elsewhere, nobody - absolutely nobody - knows the thing is contested for. Only the people of places like Alfreton, Eastwood and long Eaton consider it a thing

It would be hilarious if despite going down to league two, they got back to the Prem before Derby and Forest. 

Not sure if it's on this thread or a 'rivals' thread but I said a while back that Cov would get promoted before Forest or Derby and a lot of people thought I was joking. As much of a shitshow as they've been off the pitch, they actually seem to have their shit together on it given the circumstances.

Surely one of those two sinks this season. Surely.

Still looks likely that Derby will be given a points deduction and Forest are just bad, like seriously bad.

Mark Robbins is basically Cov’s Pearson as much as it pains me to praise them.

 

Done an incredible job their and largely under the radar too

[Wymsey]

Still can't quite believe that Derby have had no points punishments at all.

[Kingleicester]

How the hell is Chris Houghton still in a job????

From what I read the football league have offered them a 12 point deduction with 3 suspended

Offered!? Since when did you get to decide what punishment you’d accept?

 

Just slap a 15 point penalty on them and down they go 

[Unabomber]

On sky I thought you could chose to watch any of the midweek championship games? Has this changed now?

[Wymsey]

Would've thought there'd be more fans at Stoke after their good run.

[Koke]

May be in the minority but I'd quite like Stoke back up. We had a good record against them in the PL, and it's a close away trip.

Used to be on the red button, but not sure now. Might just be all iFollow. 

 

Edit - Nope, still on red button. Go to the main game first.

Still on the red button - watching it now from sky football rather than main event
