I think the point being made is that a draw is no good to us. If we win then we need one more win. If we draw or lose then we need two more wins. That's on the assumption that Fulham win their remaining two of course.
I'm not convinced Derby would be happy to take a point though. It's pretty tight for 6th place and they'd be foolish to think they don't need to win all their games to secure that last place.
