The monkey will be gone soon!!

Championship Derby County

Alright Chaps Reading fan in peace, just wanted to say that although you havn't started the season well i still think you will become a big force this season. I watched the game on the telly when you played Bristol and thought your second half performance was excellent, passed the ball around nicely and you were all over a team that don't drop too many points at home.

You still have a brand new team so it will take a few games to get used to eachother and remember Palace were in the bottom 3 at Christmas a few years ago and managed to go on a run that took them to the playoffs which i believe they beat West Ham.

You also have a good experienced manager especially at this level who has been there and done it, i think once you win one league game you will smash alot of teams this season and the good days for yourselves will be back.

I got alot of time for supporters like you guys as you still manage to pull in great crowds when times aren't so great that is great credit to you all, you only have to look at other clubs that if they loose 3 games the support disappears so credit to you all, i hope things pick up soon for you as you the fans deserve it

all the best for the rest of the season look forward to when you come to our place will be a good tough game.

Do you think you'll end up in the playoffs this season?

galaxy, don't know what you mean mate

whistle


Home form is always the key & it's where the most pressure is from the fans (not the fans fault obviously as the bad performances come first)

It does sound like you've played well insome games away from home but if a goal goes against you the pressure builds again.

I think some Derby fans really are pathetic and infected.

Did anyone go to the Barnsley away game? I think their first goal was their first shot and that was what 70yh minute? We dominated Barnsley, our strikers had a really off day.

Also as the Royal says we was very good to get a point and in the end we could have easily won it at Ashton Gate.

Wake up Derby fans and realise in depth and as individuals we have one of the best squads in the league, they are just not playing as a team.

And with probably the best young English talent in the league in Giles Barnes still out I think we WILL push for the play offs but we'll be a bit too inconsistent and end up finishing 7th-10th.

THIS SEASON IS FOR CONSOLIDATION.
NEXT SEASON IS FOR PROMOTION winkeye

Oh and Serial, if we don't beat Sheffield United we still have the chance to beat Swansea City on Tuesday in order to avoid the no win in a year record.

The year anniversary is on Wednesday is it not?

loving the passion Paul thats the support were used to seeing Derby have no team in the league will do what we achieved 3 years ago anyone can beat anyone in this division, and even being inconsistent you can still get in the playoffs Ipswich almost achieved that last year and they were dreadful away from home if they would have won 1 or 2 games more away they would have been in the playoffs so anything can happen tha's why this league is so good so many good teams

You're right PaulGreen

Although with the amount of Swansea wums you've had since Boddie they'd love to be the ones to give you that record
