Come on, let’s make it 3/3!
I wouldn't write off Bristol Rovers. Splashing some cash and a possible destination for Johnson Clarke-Harris. On paper, they should be really good this season.Our next (on paper) game against a playoff contender would be Blackpool in mid-October.
True. It is at home, though. I’d still class it as a game we should win. Stevenage away also looking increasingly tricky as they keep on winning. But still, if we can continue playing like we did on Tuesday night, come the Blackpool game you’d expect us to be in the playoff places at the very least.I wouldn't write off Bristol Rovers.

I'd never be confident against an Evans team, regardless of the table. Right up there with Westley in terms of shithousery.True. It is at home, though. I’d still class it as a game we should win.

Charlton next week have surely got to be a play off contender aswell.

Exactly how I feel. If we get anything out of this the teams confidence will be riding high but we need to make sure we perfom against the more ordinary teams.I'm weirdly not too fussed about the result today. I'm more interested in seeing evidence that Tuesday night wasn't a flash in the pan performance, and that we can replicate it going forward. Particularly because, after Charlton next Saturday, we have what looks to be a very favourable run of games against teams you would expect to be mid-table or relegation candidates. Our next (on paper) game against a playoff contender would be Blackpool in mid-October. Show that we can play like we did against Derby regularly and I'll be happy, regardless of whether Barnsley nick a win or draw.
That said, win this and I won't be able to stop myself getting stupidly optimistic for the season ahead. Winning at Pride Park and Oakwell are the kinds of results that promoted teams get. Granted both clubs seem to be in a bit of a weird place at the moment, but they are still both big outfits in this league and have masses of individual quality. It would be an extraordinarily impressive week.
I'm going to go for a 1-1 draw (Browne to get off the mark). Would absolutely take that.
