Southampton-Derbay-->home win

Wolves-West Brom-->draw

Necronomicon

So hard to call. I mean, the Championship is hard to predict on any given day, whatever about the playoffs.

I'll go:

Southampton vs Derby - Home

Wolves vs West Brom - Draw

Kojak

Saturday

Southhampton v Derby - Draw

Sunday

Wolves v West Brom - Away

Necronomicon

Southampton 1-0 Derby

Wonderful strike from Andrew Surman in the 7th minute.

PHB

****idy **** ****

I hate playoffs

Derby score through peno 2-1

Deserved lead ,

Peno was well outside the box. I was hoping Southampton would win, they occasionally try to pass it around a bit whereas Derby are just a bunch of cloggers.

That's what I thought initially, but looking at it again I think it's debatable. The first thug on the shirt was definately outside, but he still had a chunk of it in the box.

2-1 to Derby. Southampton will have a lot to do at pride park.

PHB

Derby normally play much more attractive football than that, that was an unusual match.
That said, their usual partnership of Barnes and Jones in the center of midfield wasn't playing, so it's to be expected.

I like the playoffs now

But why does it only become a foul when it's inside the box?

Wolves 0-1 West Brom after 26 mins.

StickyMcGinty

nightmare, completely against the run of play. kevin philips is what wolves are lacking up front

StickyMcGinty

yes! 1-1 - craddock with a quality header

nothing more than they deserve, andy kehoe has been outstanding, bothroyd is having a blow par game

leninbenjamin

jaysus, 3-2 in the end to the baggies.

I'm hoping Wolves go up. The only Irish player at West Brom is McShane and he's guaranteed to be signed by a premiership club anyway if they don't go up.

See his skill against Barnsley last week?

the tic-tac, lovely stuff!

west brom have too much depth in their squad they're the strongest team in the playoffs

wolves were well worth a win today, pity breen had a nightmare. i think it'd be good if wolves didnt go up this year and made a serious push next year for automatic promotion, they're a very young side and mounting a serious challenge would be well within their reach

county

cracking start in the derby/southampton match,1-1 after about 3 mins,3-2 on agg

county

1-2 to southampton now,3-3 on agg now

KdjaCL

Exciting and entertaining game but some awful football being played. Soton well on top should get another soon.

kdjac

county

KdjaCL

Hope so **** all else on telly.

What the fcuk is Billy Davies doing keeping Giles Barnes on? Fair enough, throw him in as a risk and hope he performs but it was obvious after about 5 minutes that hes not even close to match fitness. Was amazed when Seth Johnson came off and Barnes was kept on the pitch.

mike65

C'mon penos!

Mike.

PHB

Barnes is quite the peno taker as I remember.
Come on Derby, I want to see either Jones or McShane get promoted, so go Derby

county

penos it is

KdjaCL

Feel sorry for someone just dont know who yet:(

But hes never scored a penalty in his career thus far(until just now).What leads you to believe hes quite the peno taker?

mike65

Derby go through.

Mike.

PHB

Southampton miss again, bye bye

PHB

I remember reading it when there was all the talk about him being this incredible player, and how United should have signed him, etc etc.

county

derby are through

What a prick Bywater is

Chardee MacDennis

kamara is terrible.

"it was a two step run up, but the ball was only two steps away"

wtf is that guy smoking, lads there is a career in commentating for us yet!

Fair play to Derby, felt that Southampton were the better team, but both would lose to WBA...

Jonny Arson

Delighted for Derby!

mike65

Asshole Derby fans on the pitch - a few heads may need to be cracked.

What are they doing?

Assaulting people?

Celebrating winning a massive football match?
