Sheffield United... winning? I want to see Derby's record broken
That doesn't help us though. It's better that they can compete with other teams towards the bottom and take points off them.
The less points they get then the more points will be needed to finish 17th - (most likely).

I was told yesterday that you could exercise within 5 miles of your home. I think that probably meant driving no more than 5 miles before starting the exercise. Dep.

A part of me is wanting a Leeds win - and then drawn against us. First you wanted us to play Blackburn and now Leeds. Our priority is the League. A cup run would be good, but we don't don't want the distraction of a high-profile match against a big rival. A winnable home tie against a team that we ...

Was the Sheff Utd game the one played on a Saturday night about 7.30??
No don't think so. I think that was much later with John Gayle shouldering the ball into the net.
This was ITV (Granada), with Leighton James, Collins, Fletcher and Uwe etc.
Think I spotted myself behind the goals!

Is it guaranteed that we won’t have any injuries by the time we next play them?
Of course not, but we would be v unfortunate to have a thinner squad than we have at present, and also I think - in the current circumstances - under siege Fulham would have raised their game and been tough to beat.
