    Obviously I’m 35 so never saw him play, but reading about him, how did a kid who was born in Bristol and went to school in Bristol picked up by Norwich? Has our scouting for youth always been this bad? 

    Yes i played for  Clevedon Town in those days, and a number of my team mates went up to Norwich for trials. The most successful  was Ian Davies, who went on to play for Newcastle and Man City.

    On the second half unlucky not to get something from that, but equally can say over the previous two games lucky to get six, so one of those.

    An emerging trend is how poor we are first half of our games, and how it is the subs that shake it up. Our goal scoring has got very binary, although Fammy maybe unlucky overall.

    Just what i was thinking. the answer is poor management. But we all know that. Your should play your best team from the start, playing to our strengths. Not keep it tight, and then making subs and trying to nick something. I am sure i wrotwe a similar post last season. Will he ever learn, I hope so.

  3. Takes me back to the last game of the 1968-69 seasons. Derby had won the old div 2 title that they were presented to after the match. This was  Brian Clough first season as manager. 31,000 in the ground we were upstairs in one of the wooden stands behind the goal. The stand was bouncing up and down as they trashed us 5-0. Seem to remember Alan Hinton hitting one from 40 yards. Hoping for a below average Derby performance tonight. The crowd getting on their backs 0-0 till the last minute, then a Flint header into the top corner. 0-1. If not a 0-0 would be very good.
