Unreal to get 5 reds in a season is poor, in two games I have never seen that before

Sheep shaggers looking worryingly good.

Spoke to my Derby mate at work the other day. Said the main difference has been to bring in two new centre backs, who can actually defend.

Isn't one of them Whitbread?

Would be very nice to beat the sheepshaggers at Wembley again.

 

I thought we'd bottle the play-offs if we were subjected to them?

That first penalty Derby got was an absolute scandal.

Of course they've got to be taken seriously, they are fourth. McLaren has proved to be a good appointment so far.

 

As for Kitchandro about saying Derby are 'average'. While I agree, I'd also say that most of this division is average. On paper, QPR and Wigan should get promoted, but the Championship doesn't work like that. Look at the teams who have been promoted in recent years, the likes of Blackpool, Reading, Palace, Hull; you don't need a great side to get out of this division. Of course you need somesort of ability, but I've always said a hardworking team can get out of this league.

 

I can only think of Newcastle and West Ham who had great squads to get out of this division, and that's generally because they didn't lose many key players when they were both relegated.

The league is average. It's an extreme rarity to come up against a side that genuinely impresses you. Brighton did last week to be fair and I'll be amazed if they're not up there on that showing.

 

We've a tendency to over-rate the league and the teams in it. Wigan are crap. QPR aren't nearly as good as their supposed value, Reading aren't brilliant either.

What I mean is they are average compared to us.

 

We'll have fvcked up badly if we let them finish above us with the players they've got.
