Pretty impressive. Ive only see you against us and you were the better team on the day although we were on a bad run and really missing a stable back 4. They're 12 unbeaten in the league, which is impressive. 5 draws in their last 8 though, I just get the feeling it's going to catch up on them.

I got confused. It's 2 defeats in the last 24. I agree though. Too many draws are like defeats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mind you, some of our own are just as bad. For what it's worth I too think Derby will fall away. I think Fulham are the team to watch. If we beat them, we'll open up a 10 point gap. If they're the team to watch, we'd be as good as promoted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing is Dave, when you are at the top end.....a draw is like a massaged defeat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stratvillan Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 Think that the second place this season will get fewer points than previous seasons which has been 89 and above. That would be 10/15 wins for anyone. Think no one will get that, suddenly if we think 8/15 would get second, I fancy our chances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's pace, breaking with speed, hustling the opposition. How much of that have you seen at Villa Park? Bruce's turgid 'do not lose' negativity might have worked 5 years ago but not now. Gary Rowett is a self confessed admirer of Borussia Dortmund swift attacking/breaking style and if he implements anything like that at Derby I'll be delighted. You could see elements of it on Friday against Hull. I'm all for mangers being given time, but what you need right now is a young, forward, vibrant man who will inject some enthusiasm into the club. I see absolutely nothing like that with Bruce. It used to be funny in our house, me and my son taking the Mickey out of each other, last year was comedy gold with Villa and Rams. This year is just sad. Dr Xia needs to get rid. 7 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they're the team to watch, we'd be as good as promoted. Pretty much. I mean don't get me wrong, I'm no Nostradamus, but it wouldn't just be the 3 points. The confidence would go up another notch, I could see us then smashing through that 11 win record. We're in top gear at the minute and I see no reason to reach for the clutch. It'll be a more contained, direct counter attacking performance no doubt but it'll do for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was counting the Bristol game as midweek but I guess it really isn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the moment, we are slightly over achieving, we expected to make the play-offs but getting up to 2nd for a few weeks was nice. The quality of your squad is better than ours, partly because you can attract better players with your parachute payments. I have seen Derby 4 times this season. I thought you lot were very good. So I will carry on worrying about you 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
