Being a RAMS fan I’d love nothing more than to see Derby in the Chamionship next season with an injury free set of decent players who showed the potential of working the way back up to the Premier League. Realistically, the picture is slightly different at the moment.

A loss at Plymouth means that Derby have to some of wins out of the remaining games of the season, the only problem here is that the remaining games are going to be some of the toughest for the rams. This saturday brings Nottingham Forest to Pride Park, the local derby stands sure to raise a determined, 100% effort performance from both teams, however with Forest’s current form and second position in the League it will be an extremely tough game for the rams, Forest’s last game delivered another 5 goals and a hearty, attacking performance.

After the local derby we face:
Sheffield Utd
Newcastle
Birmingham
Preston
Swansea
WBA

So, lets hope for some solid team performances, to try and hold strong against this opposition. We are going to need it to maintain championship status next season and stop people talking about being a League 1 team next season!
