That's the kind of spirit we need. Fold the club, it would be kinder in the long run, if only Dignitas did football.....

Fight that has bought them the grand total of no wins since New Years Day.

Rotherham have managed to pick up a grand total of 6 points on the road this year and are the only team without an away win. If we don't win this weekend, I may well agree with you but not right now.

URZZZZ Derby really are useless, lost to Millwall twice, lost to Rotherham, lost to Bolton, drew with Ipswich, yet our fans celebrated a 2-1 defeat to them :lol: like their neighbours, they're destined to be stuck in this league for a long long time


:|

That was the best game we had played for ages and no one gave us a chance against ‘Frank Lampards Derby County’ without a Mannone error and last minute goal, we would’ve got the 3 points we deserved.

If we had played like that every game this season, we wouldn’t be down the bottom of the league.


I wasn't talking about the first game of the season, the first game is never a true indication of how you're going to fare in the season anyway, was talking about the 2-1 defeat in January where they scored two in 30 minutes, took their foot off the gas and were barely troubled one bit


Oh, I don't remember anyone celebrating that.

Obvs not our rivals this season but Fulham haven’t half fcuked up their promotion

Rip up the side that got you there, sack the manager and spend a fortune on rubbish - end up playing Ryan Babel and Lazer Markovic and almost certainly going down again

Pretty much set the standard for how not to do it

They have been a disaster having spent shedloads on poor signings.

Leeds lose to QPR. Pretty desperate result and any thoughts of QPR being in the relegation mix over

Good work from Hull though this time. Millwall only 4 points clear

Lost 6 of the last 11 games, pretty awful.

Funny what happens when you're forced to stop spying on other teams. Big game against West Brom on Friday.

I think it was stranded that called out at the start of the season that Bielsas team run out of energy after Xmas because his methods wear them out.

Sounds like something I would have said - he was very tetchy when the teams "energy" was raised as a question last night.

Leeds on a run of just 13 points from the past 10 games - we have nothing to fear from them when they come to town next month - they are very beatable now. They are far enough ahead of 7th to stumble into the play-offs - they come to us in the middle of the following run of games - WBA (H), Bristol City (A) before then Sheffield United (H). Could well be completely out of the auto picture by then. Could easily come to us on the back of 3 straight defeats.

QPR were never in the mix for relegation, so kinda glad they can won so that people don't fall into the trap of expecting them to be.

Millwall's defeat was a big one and just goes to show how abject Derby were last week to let them beat them - with Norwich up next for them, we could really pull them into it if we can just get that win on the board on Saturday.

Bolton V Millwall on the 9th March looking a pivotal game (along with ours v Wigan) now.

Yep, Biesla's teams are quite renowned for running out of steam. As are Leeds. So a good fit

Still annoyed with Derby being so shit against Millwall. Even more so after last night

For potentially pivotal games, Wigan V Millwall on the final day could take some beating.

I think we should stop posting about Leeds and Derby at al. They are no longer rivals as they are fighting for promotion and we are not.
