Dyche would have gone over to the fans, done the strong jaw pose, waved an arm then f4cked off back into the changing room with the players 5 minutes later.
Derby players are still out there 5 hours after the whistle.
At Reading 10 years ago we got about 30 seconds of the team over by our fans then Coyle took them off. We’d won nothing and I was impressed with the attitude. It also meant we spent the next 30 minutes abusing Blackwell in the TV Studio above us. He looked a little ruffled when I watched the recording back, think we started our road to victory that night by getting at him.

Should "Lampard's Derby" beat Villa at Wembly, that'll be next seasons bottom three sorted.

He spent all the show acting like “we can’t beat Burnley”

As rattled as Blackwell was that night, our road to victory began when we comfortably beat Sheffield United at home towards the end of the season.

Great time warp of a game ... 9 Yellows, two Reds .... I half expected to see Frannie Lee and Norman Hunter fighting, with Roger Davies popping up with a winner for Derby !!

We did the double over them too. I was super happy we were playing them in the final.

We actually got a scale model of Sheffield Utd to keep, that season, having beat them 3 times.

Deluded.
Even without tinted specs, they would need to buy his contract out and then tempt a manager to drop a division. And finally struggle to pay his current wage.
I can see Hughton going there though if they want a new manager.

Twitter has provided much humour today that is for sure.
Leeds, Leeds have fallen apart again.
WAHLS
Apparently Sky aren't showing the final now; they can't cope with last nights result
Don't worry, Leeds fans will still say they won the play offs in the 18/19 season

Sky is just going to film an empty Elland Road instead

Hughton in talks with West Brom according to reports.
Putting my dislike of Leeds to one side for a minute, they’ve played some really good football this season. You really wouldn’t want to swap Bielsa for Hughton.

I think the bigger issue is that Biesla may choose to walk.

The thought occurred to me earlier in the season that Bielsa was perhaps immune to the self-doubt that appears to engulf Leeds when they get into a position of promise.
But he looked at a loss at Brentford and last night looked almost close to tears.
