Bristol Oil Services Posted February 13, 2019 Report Share Posted February 13, 2019 Paul Scholes on the radar now instead, with a win over Yeovil. Happy with this. Wanting everyone to notice us is a bit, well, tinpot, a bit needy, I think. The time to have some national attention is when we achieve something concrete, like promotion. If we ever manage this from this division, attention will come our way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murraysrightplum Posted February 13, 2019 Report Share Posted February 13, 2019 Genuinely a bit concerned about a cup run distraction. We saw how that impacted last season. I’d be content with a 2-1 spirited defeat to wolves where we show we can match them but couldn’t quite get a result (Hint to SL that we need to buy a real potent striker). Then go up in one of the automatic positions. Done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gakoe Posted February 13, 2019 Report Share Posted February 13, 2019 Clearly Bolton’s first away win ( effin Bolton mind) in 7 months is a more impressive story! Carry on.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's I liked was seeing a Derby fan saying we won't be a threat for top 2. Obviously forgetting that we are above them and the form team in the country. Note- I don't think we will be top 2, and not convinced of top 6 yet. But there are indicators suggesting Derby are above where they should be, by quite a few places. Those indicators also have us in roughly the right position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can’t be current form, which is what we’d normally use to predict any teams final position in the league. It must be your deep rooted love of BCFC and and the expectation of being disappointed again. I feel it also but there is something going on this season, something we’re not used to. Something different amongst this bunch of players, nay winners.....breeding a winning mentality. Enjoy the ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tough fixtures (though we’ve recently performed well against tough oppositions) and Leeds/Norwich havning better squads. I believe those two will go up automatically Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But there are indicators suggesting Derby are above where they should be, by quite a few places. Those indicators also have us in roughly the right position. I imagine it must be hard, currently, being a Derby County fan. 1. They are famous. And not very good. 2. They have Frank Lampard, who is famous. And they are about as good as the year before, and the year before that, and ... etc. 3. They have had one top class season in the past 15 seasons. And they, er, struggled, shall we say, being, and amongst the, top class, in that one top class season in the last 15. 4. In the past 15 years, they have had to sit and watch as "the likes of" Reading, Huddersfield, Cardiff, Swansea, Bournemouth, Wigan and others have left them behind - even if only for a short time - and done much better than them, at the top. 5. Now, "the likes of" "Bristol" are threatening their rightful place (5th or 6th, and cocking up the play-offs). We should, kind of, know how they feel; it's how and what we were like in League One for many years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lansdown has said he wanted top 6 this season, which is also what Derbys target was. So Derby have the same aim but are more motivated? That makes no sense at all. Quote “With the size of the club and the quality of the squad, and how close they were, getting to the play-offs, you have to say we are looking to go there again,” said Lampard. “I have set my aims to try to get there, even though it’s a difficult league and we are under no illusions." ^Lampard talking about this season and targets.

Indeed debatable, there's positions we probably excel in but overall I believe they do. Subjective of course. Based on a majority of things, If Derby fall short of play-offs position they'll see that as a failure. Whilst if we finish 7th I doubt many people will see it as the same. There's an obvious high expectation at Derby that every season they must tickle the top. If they fall from the top 6 like they have I believe they're thinking "we need to get our shit together" Of course the chairman is going to say that, he's not exactly gonna come out saying I aim for mid table.. This is straying out of context for the top 2 debate though, I don't believe either will reach it and i'm sure you think the same! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
