Who thinks the sheep shaggers will move off the bottom?
We aint going anywhere except down
Obvious from last season- we bought very little (in terms of quality) and expected to stay up on our “passion”- nah, everyone who I’ve spoke to is looking forward to next season n winning again
It aint the end of the world…not if you see it coming
The summer was really important for you, spend enough correctly, and you have every chance of staying up, but you didn’t even spend enough, miller being the only decent player coming in.
That said, when Martin got us up via the play-offs, we only brought in kasey keller and spencer prior in august, but because we’d already got izzet, lennon, walsh, heskey and claridge (a strong middle core) and a blinking great manager, we’d got a right good chance.
Looking back, you didn’t have enough coming up.
Serious question, what will you be like with confidence shot in the championship?
Depends on lots of things really
How much of the team can be kept together post season? I doubt Miller will stay but he hasnt really shone (tho the quality or lack of it around him may account for that) but if we can keep a nucleus together- who knows- I will guarrantee Jewson is looking at next season already (this season is a write off) and building his championship team
In all seriousness, I don’t know how their confidence will be- look at Watford this season and they’ve bounced back, playing well and may be promoted again- but for what? Unless they invest £20-25 million on players, they’re going to repeat last season.
As long as we dont fall like Leeds, Sheffield Wednesday and Forest then I’ll stay happy
I was shocked that Miller joined Derby in the first place, I thought he would have set his sights a bit higher (not meant in a detrimental way btw…).
I don’t think throwing money around is the answer for Derby. Look at Keane at Sunderland, he spent something like £40m on players – including £9m for his keeper – knowing that his team would be among the favourites for relegation before the season even started and that’s an opinion a lot of folk still have. Money well spent?
It is John if they stay up, because then they can build on that, thats the point, that first season, you either progress or fall.
Like slayer said, you can just fall and bounce back or do a notts forest, and notts forest have remarkably managed to stay in division three.
I disagree with slayer regards jewell, i think he’s perfect for derby, wish we’d have got him, although ive seem something with Holloway i didn’t know before.
I couldn’t believe derby taking the lead twice at nocastle, and just the luck when you’re down n out, you dont win, take the champagne off ice, you’ve not beaten them twice.
Oh well shaggers, onwards n upwards
oops, liverpool next, onwards n downwards :lol:
Betting derby to win this season is costing me a fortune.
It’s a very expensive ‘If’ though. Maybe I’m just thinking of things as a Scottish football fan where spending anything over £2m is a big money signing :lol:
The average person is £10,000 in debt.
How long dead are we all.
Its money, paper, numbers, it cant buy years of extended life, spend it all.
One point though about Miller – we don’t want him back!! I was surprised Rangers let him go when they did tbh, some folk label him a Rangers flop but the Kenny Miller I remember was pretty handy in front of goal when given a chance. But we’ve plenty of grafters – Naismith, McCulloch and Novo spring to mind.
I reckon if he comes back to Scotland it’ll be either Celtic, Hibs or Hearts.
