This is a throwback game on a throwback pitch. Enjoyable nonetheless so far. Derby can’t afford to lose this.

A Luton win may spur Cardiff on more today!

Hello Malta!

Pretty certain Cardiff will give them a hard game. We have to hope they don't concede early.

Wouldn't be happy as a Derby player, in black shorts and socks that Linnington is in the same.
He's actually been very good today.

Seen far more quality on a Sunday league pitch. Both sides look dreadful.

It’ll have been the same for every home game this season. Refs only have black shorts and socks.

It’s been the same for us in our all black away kit this season.

Derby finding it’s hard to chase a game and create quality chances on a beach.

Pitch not helping though.

Luton have 3 horrid fixtures left. All against play off chasers who need to win.

Let’s be frank, they are gone.

But for today it keeps Cardiff and Oxford honest, needing a result.

I thought Cardiff gave us a decent game when we played them away. We couldn't have complained at a draw at their place. Sheff United should win at home, but you never know. COME ON YOU BLUEBIRDS

Felt bad for Plymouth today. A questionable pen and red card in extra time wipes a vital point off the board.

They deserve a reward for their heroics last weekend.

Obviously it'll affect things if we go the distance, but Sheff Utd's game has no bearing on what we need on Monday. A draw - and only a draw - will be required, whatever happens tonight.

* Actually think my maths is terrible there. Come on Cardiff :D

If SheffU win, they'll be 5 points behind us. They'll stay 5 points back after a draw on Monday, with 2 games and 6 points left to fight for.

An extra half point. It won't matter if Sheff win their last two and we lose ours, (in the situation presented above).

Long time ago now but Cardiff were the better team ont Turf until we scored, then they capitulated.
Good start for them so far.

Only if we finish level on points. A better GD is irrelevant
if we don't.

How was that a yellow?

EFL officials have dredged a new low this season.

With Millwall losing, it means they'll certainly come into our game with nothing to play for.
