    MadAmster got a reaction from Inverurie Ram in Bristol Rovers - 25 November   
    Hi sis, my sincere condolences to you and yours. I'm a resident of Amsterdam and will be in Fuerteventura on the day of the Bristol game. I never met B4 but had many a conversation with him on an old, now defunct, Rams forum. At the time he was having difficulties putting together a CV and I offered to help. That turned out, in the end, not necessary as another forum member, Elaine Dean, picked up the issue and was closer at hand to help. 
    Here's to many flanges and scavers being waved, especially in minute 38, in recognition of Daniel's immense spirit and love for all things Derby County.

    Is that the same chappie who just left Vitesse Arnhem in 18th (last) place in the Dutch Eredivisie?
    As a resident of the Netherlands I've been following Dutch football for almost 40 years. When Cocu arrived I was happy that we had a Manager who would bring youth on but commented on FootyMad that his football wasn't suited to the Championship. Slow, possession based football with the odd rapier like thrust at speed and back to what I refer to as slow, slow, slower, slower, quick bit, slow football. Painful on the eyes and doesn't work in the SBC. Apparently it no longer works over here either.

    We could do worse than going for Rowe and Baker-Richardson from Crewe.

    2 steps forward, one step back.
    I'm not unduly worried as we keeping having shots both on and off target. I'll start worrying when we stop having occasion to shoot.
    What we do need to do is get way more efficient with our shots.
    Over the 2 ties we had 46 shots. 28% of them were on target. We scored from 6.5% of our shots (24% of our shots on target went in) 
    Over the 2 ties CA had 17 shots. 76% of them were on target. CA scored from 29.4% of their shots (38.4% of CA shots on target went in)
    They created much less but were way, way more efficient with what they created. They had 17 shots over 2 games and 13 of them on target. Impressive. We had 13 on target from 46 shots. Somewhat less impressive than them.

    There will, doubtless, be the usual OTT comments all over "social media". It's the Cup. Shocks, both great and small, happen.

    1968. 2nd division Derby drew 0-0 away against 1st division Chelsea in the League Cup. Beat them 3-1 in the return.
    Drew 0-0 away at Everton and beat them 1-0 in the return.
    Then drew 0-0 at home to 3rd division Swindon and then lost the return 1-0.
    Swindon went on to beat Arsenal 3-1 at Wembley in the final.

    Cups are out of fashion until you get to the latter stages or you get a plum tie. League Cup, FA Cup, Bristol Street Motors EFL Trophy. Gates are down at most clubs, not just Derby. They are possibly not down that much if you get a local derby or a top side. 3rd round FA Cup day always used to be a sell out just about everywhere. No longer.
    Why? Too much football available. League matches plus 3 cup competitions for DCFC. Wall to wall televised games from the PL, CL, EL, whatever the 3rd Euro job is called. There's also a huge cost of living problem. Wages not risen in the public sector for 3 or 4 years up to 2022. High inflation caused by huge hikes in petrol, gas, electric and food prices... people have to be more careful with their money.
    Also, to get video from BET365 you only need to have made a bet with them in the past and have money in your account. Those currently without an account can open one, deposit a fiver and, after the game, withdraw their fiver again so it would cost nowt.
    PS - I've also read that bet365 aren't showing the game...

    Only hope is there being an illegal stream somewhere. Of course, it being illegal, we would never, ever watch it now would we?

    There are about 8k home tickets available, so subtracting the unsold tickets gives you a rough idea.

    It's about getting to your seat early for the Remembrance game so you don't need to get others moving to let you get to your seat during the silence and its preamble.
    It's a thing called respect.
