    Abu Derby reacted to Bris Vegas in Peterborough United vs Derby County   
    Under Paul Warne we have now won just 2 of 14 games against top 14 sides.
    Posh 2-0 Derby
    Derby 0-2 Fleetwood
    Plymouth 2-1 Derby
    Derby 2-2 Shrewsbury
    Barnsley 4-1 Derby
    Derby 2-0 Charlton
    Derby 1-1 Lincoln
    Wycombe 3-2 Derby
    Derby 2-1 Bolton
    Bolton 0-0 Derby
    Derby 0-0 Sheff Wed
    Portsmouth 0-0 Derby
    Derby 0-0 Exeter
    Ipswich 1-0 Derby
    P14 W2 D6 L6 PTS12 GF11 GA18 GD-7
    Now is our atrocious record against anyone half decent in this league down to the manager or the players?
    What is alarming is after the Ipswich game, we actually looked solid against the likes of Pompey, Bolton and Owls.
    Since Wycombe we have looked anything but. Regressed.

    Hey lads,
    Posh fan here. Just wanted to chip in as have seen some interesting comments on this thread.
    I’ll start with saying that in the first half you absolutely played us off the pitch. Most dominant performance from the opposition I’ve seen since forever probably. And I saw us ship 4 against Blackburn away in the first half last season! I was actually taken aback which is a rare thing at this level. Which begs the question are your forwards the issue? I thought Derby were quite powderpuff up front at Pride Park - we just couldn’t hang on with 10 men after a bad sub from our former manager. Same in this game despite playing us off the park. 
    Second half - looking on this forum and Derby Twitter a lot of you seemed to have admitted defeat going into HT at 0-0 which was quite puzzling to us given what we saw from you. Why do you think this is a common thing with you? We had the same habit last season and ultimately got us relegated (especially in last 10 minutes). We’ve won 20 but lost 15 so we’re unpredictable.
    I saw someone mention earlier going to the Royce pub and they thought it was a nice coincidence. Sir Henry Royce of Rolls-Royce was from Peterborough (Alwalton). Nice little fact for you. 
     
    As for the ‘Peterborough being a dump’ comments, you’ll rarely find a Peterborian that would disagree with you. The irony of our nickname isn’t lost on us! The identity comments are interesting too - you’ll find Peterborough fans that sound completely different. We get a lot of support from South Lincs/Rutland/Northants. As soon as you go East of Peterborough it becomes Fenny (comboyn ‘arvisturr’). Then you’ve got the ‘London overspill’ descendants that follow us. The “only club where the home fans will sing Peterborough is a s******* I want to go home” comment on here made me laugh - it doesn’t get sung but a lot of our support is from outside of the city. So you’re not far wrong.
     
    I’ll wrap up with advice for future visits. If you go to Drapers (the Spoons) you’re going to get herded to the ground probably. Same thing happens with Cambridge/Northampton/Leicester/Forest etc. Brewery Tap is popular (across the station). Multiple on Oundle Road as well leading to the ground. Charters (the barge on the Nene) a fan favourite as well - just buy multiple at a time as it gets packed.
    Interesting to read your thoughts. You definitely seem a more intelligent bunch than Forest fans haha.
    Good luck for the rest of the season.

    Abu Derby reacted to loweman2 in The Greatest ?   
    To Derby County fans of a certain age this man was God, he was our generations Kevin Hector, his name would reverberate around the Baseball Ground for many years, even long after he had left us, it was his goals that dragged us kicking and screaming up the football league, Peter Taylor’s last moment of genius to add to those many legends he had spotted years before with his mate Brian.
    Bobby is a super proud man, he still doesn’t understand the cult hero status that he holds in Derby with the fans, I think that it is a sad reflection on football that he is now working as a baggage handler at Leeds airport.
    He should be walking around in diamond encrusted shoes, driving his Aston Martin, he has tried numerous years to let back into the club as a coach with the youth team but that became impenetrable under a certain individual and also MM.
    He worked at St George’s for the FA for a number of years.
    In my eyes he is an absolute legend of Derby County, an absolute idol as a kid, when everybody else had the keegans, dalglshes and Linekers we had Bobby, we might have been in the third division but it didn’t matter !
    he never missed those one on ones with the keeper, he got his head in where it hurt and he had that great 80s moustache.
    so heres to you Bobby Davison, Derby loves you more than you will know !

    Abu Derby reacted to ImARam2 in David Clowes Interview   
    I have just read the full article and if the Derby fans cannot appreciate what David Clowes has done, not only saving the club from oblivion but to restore the club's reputation with the EFL and other club's, then they don't deserve to be called Derby County supporters.
    His integrity, passion, honesty and optimism for the club is unbounded and we should all thank him and his management team for saving the club.
    To be within a matter of days, if not hours, of the club going out of existence, and to put together a business plan; a management team with the same attributes and inspirations, along with a set of young and aging players to compete for the play-off places, is nothing short of a miracle.
    If we don't get promotion this season, the future of Derby County F.C. is in very safe hands and if, as David Clowes mentions, it might take 5 years, so be it, we have a club and team to support.
    Thank you David Clowes and 'Long Live Derby County Football Club'

    Bring back the highlights without Lineker and the pundits. Stringing out the program by more than double the highlights content by citing supposition, cogitating and providing inane comments - none of which is going to change the results. 
    Aside from that, saving several millions in wages.

    Abu Derby reacted to rammieib in Fleetwood Home Sat 18th March 3.00pm   
    The fact it took us until the 70th minute or so to get a corner, and the 80th minute for a shot on target is appalling.
    Meanwhile we had to defend around 7 or 8 corners during this time frame. 
     
    The football is atrocious. Hit the ball into a channel and hope our oil tanker striker runs onto it or one of our wingers didn’t come short.
    I just didn’t see any plan today, that is what disappoints me.

    Must admit, they look a team of useless misfits.
    It’ll be interesting to see how they fare next year back in the Championship, what with it being the most expensive football “team” ever assembled following their promotion. 
    Implosion imminent me thinks.
