Hornso Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 Oliver McBurnie who we were linked to in January seems to be doing well on loan at Barnsley. 4 goals from 4 starts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Czechlad Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 Fulham dominating Derby away from home. Fulham are starting to scare me. With a win against Derby, the move to 4th, and only 1 point behind us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 Have Derby even won a game since Rowett signed his new contract?! Mad what happens to that club every year regardless of who their manager is. They are the championship version of Arsenal, season pans out the same way every year.

VillaChris Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 Is Jerome a regular starter for them? I thought he was more of an impact sub. Didn't understand the signing either, Derby have loads of strikers/wingers in their squad. They need better defenders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A guy I work with has a season ticket at Derby and he kinda likes their current predicament. He says you get to see the team win most weeks without the heartbreak of having to finish bottom of the Premier League the next season if they go up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Rev Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 He's still scarred by the 11 point season. To be fair to him he has had a season ticket for over 30 years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StewieGriffin Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 Bunching up a bit outside of the playoffs too - Derby need to start winning again, otherwise they'll be looking at hanging on to 6th instead of pushing for 2nd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The goal is obviously to take us back to the promised land of the Premier League but the last few years of our Premier League tenure was absolutely horrific to experience. We weren’t competitive and you could nearly guarantee the games where we would lose. I certainly lost the love and happiness of the sport in our final year. The players, the attitude, the ownership, the lack of ambition and the fact that we were a laughing stock all really hurt to see. I’ve really been enjoying the Championship, certainly this year and perhaps that seems fickle as were more competitive but I just enjoy having more of a purpose to our season than trying to cling onto a status in a league where we get perpetually drubbed. We grow up as kids playing the game and are taught to go out and try and win and enjoy ourselves. As fans we want entertainment from the sport and to feel competitive and get enjoyment. I absolutely want us to get promoted and it’s my hope we can one day become a real force to be reckoned with in the country’s top league. I guess that’s why I am enjoying the Championship as we are competitive, we can win regularly, games come thick and fast and we are a force to be reckoned with, just in a lower league. Getting relegated used to be such a big fear of mine and I would lose many a nights sleep worrying about something I have no control over. But having circled the drain for many a year in the Prem it was almost relief and I’ve a much fresher outlook on the football league in general and in fact when I speak to colleagues at work who support the likes of Southampton or Stoke I absolutely don’t envy them. Each week is a struggle, enjoyment levels are incredibly low and their only hope is to hang in the league. I want more for my club. If we make it to the promised land I hope we can get to a place where we can challenge at the top and, as we are doing now, have a sense of togetherness in the team and with the fans and can all help strive to be the very best we can, and should, be. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
