Jerseybean Posted March 30, 2018 Report Share Posted March 30, 2018 Funny old game in’it..... OTIB was in melt-down when we threw away a three goal lead at home to Sunderland What would have happened if we’d been losing 4-1? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Red Posted March 30, 2018 Report Share Posted March 30, 2018 Imagine the vitriol on here if we'd done as Derby have in the last few years, spending loads of money on big name talent only to continually implode at the business end of the season.

Mr Popodopolous Posted March 30, 2018 Report Share Posted March 30, 2018 Give Derby the ball at home...they have a problem. Try to dominate possession v them though...that's when they can be very dangerous! (Bookies site predicted this as a draw, which was a bit wrong but nonetheless didn't have it down as a Home win, interestingly). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lanterne Rouge Posted March 30, 2018 Report Share Posted March 30, 2018 That lad Gooch wide right MF for Sunderland looks a good little player. American and only 22. Worth a look when they go down? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrahamC Posted March 30, 2018 Report Share Posted March 30, 2018 Pretty sure someone posted on here that their signing of Cameron Jerome showed real ambition By the way, what an absolute fraud Richard Keogh is, looks like giving a goal away every single game & makes Forbes Phillipson-Masters look like he was Franz Beckenbauer..

cityexile Posted March 30, 2018 Report Share Posted March 30, 2018 Well, with Boro and Derby losing, feel a bit better. Really not in good form or playing well, but still now only out of it on gd. Still dreaming! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roadrunner Posted March 30, 2018 Report Share Posted March 30, 2018 Last time we got in the play offs we did not play that well,. Indeed we were riding our luck most matches at the end of the season. But we got into the play offs. Played well v Crystal Palace, got into the final. Then got very close to beating Hull. So hang on to you hats, their is going to be joy and despair over the coming weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must be having an impact. The Derby cycle. Start a season poorly - Sack manager - Appoint new manager he has an outstanding middle third and puts them among the favourites to go up - Crumble in the last third - miss out on promotion/play offs - Sack Manager The background stuff shouldn’t have much impact on the players as they probably don’t give a rats arse. The confidence is shot, they rushed every attack and looked full of mistakes at the back. They’ve got tricky games coming up as well. They will finish below us I’m sure of that!

ChippenhamRed Posted March 30, 2018 Report Share Posted March 30, 2018 You have to say that when all's said and done, it's been a pretty good day for us. We gained a point on both teams above us, and only one of our six play off rivals won. Everyone is quick to talk down our form, but of all the teams around us only Millwall are winning consistently - and there are two spots still up for grabs. Plenty of reasons to be positive.

Except we still have to play Millwall and Boro away and haven't played well away in the league since the turn of the year. It's not other teams we should focus on - rather our own away form that gives every reason to be negative! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of 'name' players (by which I mean at Championship level) will get you quite far but you need more to finish the job. Boro and Villa finding similar ATM.
