I’ve enjoyed (most) of the puns as much as everyone but, something like 8 pages of increasingly desperate attempts is getting a bit tiresome now..

I agree. I think more people post when the weather is bad, today it’s rain with a heavy Bries, which will generate more puns unfortunately.

I think it’s just the media trying to whip up a poo storm. I doubt even the EU could be that stupid.

I’ve taken some time to look at ours and our fellow relegation candidates remaining fixtures, current form and any factors that may positively affect the latter (new manager bounce etc) 
I hate to say it, and I sincerely hope I’m wrong and get torn to shreds for it and made to eat my words at the end of the season, but, we’re going down in the final relegation place and I’m absolutely convinced of it. 
I have no faith left in this squad, I hate to use this next word to describe them because it’s so damning and personal but honestly, we are a team full of fragile, placid, cowards. 
we can’t defend and we don’t score goals, it’s a recipe for disaster 
Worst part about it all is, I can’t see us pulling up any trees in league one either, mid table if we’re lucky. 
 
 
 
 

I don't care what we league we play in, I'll still be a Derby fan.
I get where you're coming from, honestly I do, but with the club in its current state, and my lack of faith in those in charge, at all levels from the owner down, I don't see what difference a division makes.
If relegation lances the boil quickly and effectively, I'd take it over a long drawn out malaise.

A bunch or realists not manic depressives.
I was also there for the Div 3 days and it was fun at the time. This time though, if we do go down, I can't see us anywhere near a shoe in for promotion or the play offs.

Helps when Rotherham have had two weeks off. I’ll look forward to seeing how they do when they get 2 days off between games.

Easter weekend -
Derby - Luton (H), Reading (A)
Cov - QPR (A), Bristol C (H)
BHam - Swansea (H), Brentford (A)
Roth - Millwall (A), Wycombe (H)
Sheff W - Watford (A), Cardiff (H)
If we can gain 3pts or more on Birmingham & any on Rotherham that could be massive

You do really ? Jut hurting like the rest of us ?

2 points from a possible 18 in March. 1 win in 9 now too.
Some of us did say the run in would be tough.
I am looking at Luton, Birmingham and Wednesday at home. I think much if not all of it will boil down to those games. 
Honestly if we can’t win those games and stay up, then we will totally deserve League 1 football.

Why's he a 'ducking clown' bud? Pretty much nailed it first time around didn't he or have I missed something? 

Exactly .. I think it is a case of poo happens and we all live with the results .. the young longer than the old, for sure. But that is hardly something anyone should be in another’s debt for. The old didn’t create Covid and the young throw themselves in front of a virus to protect everyone over 40. No segment got benefit from the other. Everyone just loved their lives with the circumstances that the game or life threw at them. One could talk about generational debt forever .. The 1st war trench generation of youth what debt was that ? 

Not everyone over 50 are quite as well off as you seem to be suggesting. Some older people may have lost their jobs and have the worry over keeping up their mortgage payments and paying their other bills. I agree, education is a worry (I am a school governor) and a set back but to suggest younger people can’t now establish a career sounds a little over the top.
Working from home isn’t an option for some people, some older people may have lost well paid jobs that they have taken years to get to, some may fear losing their homes, this list could also go on.
I don’t think you can broadly say any particular age group has suffered more or less than any other. Everyone’s circumstances are different.
Valid point about certain social and economic groups suffering more than others but that’s got nothing to do with age which is where this all started.

No doubt true but many of those in the 50's and 60's have a decade or so in front of them to also live through the pain and, as I said, it's not as if the older have generation have inflicted the virus on the younger people so I don't quite see how they "owe" them.

Even if they don't have anything to play for, they're still better teams with better players. This notion that teams who are mid table don't turn up for the last few games is false. Look at forest last year, they only needed a point to get into the playoffs, they ended up getting demolished by a stoke side who had already achieved safety.

Just out of interest, how do you think the under 40’s have sacrificed far more than the over 40’s? Genuine question.
OK, they’ve had a year or so of restricted freedom in their relative youth that the older generation enjoyed but, assuming another pandemic doesn’t come around (which it might of course) they’ll enjoy more freedom for a year or so in their middle age than some in that age bracket are now.
For me, those that have sacrificed/suffered the most are those that have lost lives, lost loved ones lost income or lost their jobs. Those areas are not limited to the young.
Don’t get me wrong, I feel sorry for the young but, I also feel sorry for the elderly and vulnerable that haven’t been able to go out. I feel sorry for people of all ages that have not been able to go out, go on holiday, meet family and friends etc etc
I don’t think we owe any age group a debt.
