Will Derby bottle it?
Will Derby be double minded (just need to draw)?
Barnsleys destiny is in their own hands, if they go out with the clear mindset of "win and we stay up" will they then play with freedom?
If the Barnsley players receive news that a draw is enough ,will both teams conspire to shaft us and play pacifly (grrrrrrrrrr)?
Will Burton be double minded knowing a draw could be enough ?
PNEs target is simple , a win only will be enough to have a chance,
it's a clear goal . Will the clarity help or will it create anxiety?
Will AN play all the flair players ( bodin,Robinson,barks,Harrop) to create chances or choose to fight fire with fire in a possibly very physically aggressive game?

I am of the mindset we'll have a perfect day next Sunday

Coyws!
 
The perfect day would be :-

Derby 0 - 2 Barnsley

PNE 2 - 0 Burton

Bolton 2 - 0 Forest

Birmingham 0 - 2 Fulham..

That takes us in the playoffs and relegates Birmingham not Bolton.....(which for job security reasons is equally as important).

obviously we dont need to win 2 nil and Derby dont need to lose 2 - 0, BUT I would like the security of the extra goal going towards injury time in both games.

You missed out Cardiff 0 Reading 1. Cherry on the Cake!
 
Interesting to hear the Derby manager specifically mention they only need a draw.. hopefully goes into the game with that mindset.

Despite being garbage since Christmas they are still in 6th spot, everyone at Derby will expect them to be in the play offs, all the pressure is on them.
 
Hopefully Reading manage to beat Cardiff if we get in the playoffs.

Can't think of anything I'd enjoy more than dumping Colin out of the playoffs on his own turf.

But do we want them to go into the game with that mindset?

Derby are probably one of the best teams in the league at setting up for a point / smash and grab and getting it.
 
Derby v Barnsley ,mid week ,middle of winter with 700 Barnsley fans turning up ,you probably wouldn't expect much from Barnsley.
But on Sunday they could take a vociferous 3,000 fans ,throw in a load of anxious Derby fans used to seeing their side bottle it and it could be a whole different ball game.
 
If the curse ( of us blowing it every time we are within sight ) continues then we'll draw against Burton and Derby will piss on Barnsley.......It is written. 🙂


Then again..🙂

Actually it's developed through experience............... And I quite like Corbyn.. Unlike the clowns that you support he comes across as honest.

dont fully agree Lib... more likely Barnsley beat Derby and we concede late to draw with Burton - that is more like the PNE way of blowing it !
 
Probably been mentioned but Burton absolutely having to win might allow us more chances to break forward & score than if they'd come here mid-season where a point would've been a decent result.

Of course we'd still need to take a few of them - I'd say at least three before I'm sitting fairly comfortably! But that's all we can do & hope for a miracle at Derby.

A point is good enough for Burton if Barnsley lose and Bolton lose or draw. I don't think we can rely on Burton coming here in some gung-ho fashion. They will have ears on the other scores.

My main worry is us being 3-0 up, Bolton getting spanked and then Barnsley and Derby deciding to play out their second half for a draw that would suit them both.

That is unfortunately the mindset of many of our fans and armchair critics all over Preston.
How will you cope if we actually get to the playoffs?
Or will you just repeat the above?
 
If you're going to get the champagne on ice next Sunday then make sure it's from Aldi so you're not too much out of pocket if it goes tits up 🙂
