Also, we'll have to play 6 games in 18 days. Amongst that we have wolves home and Villa away.

Positives - We go into the international break still on an unbeaten run, still very much the form team.
We will have some more players back from injury after the break which will be a good thing for the last 8 or 9 games.
Our next game is now a winnable home game with Burton. Fulham go to Norwich on the same day, Villa go away to Hull a day later. Effectively, we may increase our lead over both teams and have a game in hand.
Negatives - The only one really is that Derby will have players back ( but so will we ), when we eventually play them. I think we would have won today though, which would have given us a 10pt lead going into the break.
Also, we'll have to play 6 games in 18 days. Amongst that we have wolves home and Villa away.
We will hopefully get a few players back to fitness, we have the 7 point gap still without playing this round.
Burton game is vital, after along break it would be fantastic to win that and go 10 clear, even just for a matter of hours.
We possibly gained from the Brentford postponement
Despite our winning run we had lost a bit of steam against Brum and Barnsley - if the Brentford game had happened as planned and we played like that we might have lost
We looked really strong for the rematch
The break should recharge all for the final push
It would have been worse if villa and Fulham had won
Also a lot of fans had travelled up and stayed there especially to watch the game
I can't see any positives from the postponement.
Ralls & Gunn back is a positive..and Pelts
I think there’s enough evidence around social media - along with the conflicting messages coming from the Derby club shop/stadium bar and the police - that Cardiff have sufficient grounds to formally complain to the EFL. I think Warnock will speak to Rowett before that happens and I’m hopeful they’ll agree a replay date that suits both teams.
It’s such a stitch-up though and I wonder if Bristol/Millwall/Boro/Preston/Sheff Utd will have something to say about this.
