What do you think of the chances of Preston & Derby both getting automatic promotion this season ?

Re: Automatic Promotion
Things seem to be going reasonably well at the moment for both sides and that is a reasonable possibility. Normally I would be confident that stumpy would have Derby revert to drawing games at home, and that that would ensure that automatic promotion was a bridge too far.
To be honest if we were to get promoted automatically then I really would not care who took the other spot, even if that meant either stumpy or the dirties getting to the prem. 🙂

Re: Automatic Promotion
According to Coral odds for promotion are
Brum 8/13
Us 6/5
Cardiff 11/8
West Brum 15/8
Southampton 5/2
Derby 10/3
Stoke 9/2
Remember you dont ever see a poor bookie , so if you dont have your bets on North End already , then it's not worth it .
When was the last time (in this division the odds were that short for promotion?)
(Note we're 5/1 to go up as Champions)
We're still second on Goals scored and the table looks very good reading . While we've drawn too many we've only loast two, and someone mentioned that if a team loses 6 matches they dont get automatic promotion (not sure how true this is)
but we've lost 2
Cardiff, Brum & Plymouth 4
Derby,Burnley, Stoke, Southampton 5
West Brom & Wolves 6
If that means owt
I'm still very happy

Re: Automatic Promotion
In conversations at the pub pre match yesterday, Derby were quite often mooted as the dark horses this season. That is a sentiment I tend to agree with too. You have the resources , and I hate to say it, a good manager (although I won't forgive him for his antics) which gives you a good chance.
We have a very good manager, a team that works for each other, and some very good young prospects. All we really lack are the finances. But we will be there at the shake up I am quite sure.
As for us both getting automatic, thats difficult,because Birmingham are on a bit of a roll, and with their fan base behind them pushing it could just keep going.
As Mikey said, you don't see a poor bookie, and the odds don't lie.

Re: Automatic Promotion
derby are only 3 pts behind us but we have a far superior goal difference (+14 to their +6).
it really is getting tight up there now so what we need is for derby to lose on tuesday and us to win so we can start to pull away a bit.

Re: Automatic Promotion
Sadly they are playing Ipswich at pride park on Wednesday, so while there is going to be a gap of some sort on Tuesday night it is very unlikely we will have a larger gap come the completion of the midweek round of matches. 🙁
We are going to have to get something from our away matches at Luton and Birmingham now, and make no slip ups in the two pre Christmas homes.

Re: Automatic Promotion
I certainly hope that the reason we have lost so many important promotion games in recent years can be attributed to the managerial stylings of Billy Davies, and that there is nothing inherently wrong in the playing staff.
I would not rely on Billy Davies to stop the Derby bandwagon though, the way things are going it will be seven wins on the spin for them Wednesday night.

Re: Automatic Promotion
I can't see Derby being there at the end of the season. They are in good form now yes, but what happens when that form drops? Derby are doing fine against the weaker teams in this division at the moment because of this fine run in form, but when they play the better teams, you can see they are not quite good enough.
Southampton - Draw
Sunderland - Loss
Wolves - Won
Pne - Draw
Birmingham - Loss
Cardiff - Draw
WBA - Won
Stoke - Loss
A total of 9/24 points available.
Just a bit of good form like burnley had at the start I think, just hope we are not the same as well. Stats would hopefully suggest we are not
