S8TY reacted to Bob The Badger in Relegation watch
Yeh they're very similar.
Longson brought in Cloughie who then took the club from one struggling in the old 2nd division to English champions.
Longson funded record signings for Todd and then Nish and with BC finally resigning (even though Longson constantly asked him to stop his outside involvements and focus on the club and was willing to give him a 5 year contract) he brought in Dave Mackay.
Mackay built on Clough's success to build what was arguably an even better team and also took Derby to the Championship again.
Then he made the team even better by bringing in Charlie George and who knows what would have happened if not for the gut-punching injury to Charlie.
Longson left in (I think) 1977, but in any case, with the club in the top flight.
Mel Morris took over the club and nothing much happened. We did make the playoff final I suppose, if they are the riches you are referring to.
I think that comparison lives in only one place - your head.

This is a good valid point...imagine no promotion and relegation like the big boys want.....would make most of the season a bore....promotion/relegation/play offs etc keep the interest for the majority for most of the season ....FWIW we will beat PNE and it won't go to last game just my opinion

Marshall has made some fantastic saves for us this season perhaps his latest error is clouding your judgement on a very good keeper in Marshall.I don't watch scotland games
Saying that I'd let Roos keep the gloves for now but healthy competition is a good thing

S8TY reacted to uttoxram75 in Roos
He's an athlete, tall, strong, good shot stopper, good with the ball at his feet, maybe he's one of those goalkeepers who improves with age.
If he improves his ability to come and claim the ball, confident to know when to catch and when to punch, he'll be a top keeper.
If he had learnt that a bit sooner we'd be in the Prem. (still can't forgive him for Villa's second goal at Wembley)

S8TY reacted to Millenniumram in Beni Baningime
Welcome to the club Beni! Cover for Bielik and replacement for Evans in CDM. Very important signing for me.

S8TY reacted to Ghost of Clough in Beni Baningime
Set to be announced at 23:30.
We'll have to wait a little bit longer for Roberts.

S8TY reacted to td_evans in Beni Baningime

Edit: Beaten to it!

S8TY got a reaction from jono in Teden Mengi - signed on loan until the end of the season
Mengi gives us the option to play 3 at the back but higher up, with a very quick player as cover Clarke and Wisdom can keep a higher line a few yards higher compressing the play more in the oppositions half, was unable to have this option with Evans as part of the 3 and although Evans was a composed player the speed as we saw with Temori gets you out of trouble, have to say the Wisdom and Clarke partnership is very good at the moment and they deserve to be first choices.

S8TY reacted to dcfcreece1601 in Kaide Gordon - signed for Liverpool
With him not being in the first team or the u23's today then I'm guessing so ☹

S8TY got a reaction from Archied in Lee Buchanan
Buchanan is going to be some player if he keeps improving , Lowe or Bogle are nowhere near him even at this early stage of his career
I beleive Buchanan can go to the very top and i mean the top 6 in the prem thats how highly i rate him
he makes errors because he's so young but He's the real deal IMO , pacey,fantastic left foot and bags of energy and good in the air.

S8TY got a reaction from RadioactiveWaste in 11 points
Why don't they stack up ? Ok what I should've said was I,ve seen enough of them this season ....they don't get humped by fives and sixes like we did on a regular basis that season

Yeah so once again the most likely scenario is it’s broken one day in the future by someone who has a points deduction. Which doesn’t quite do it for me

After watching Sheffield tonight though one thing is sure ...they are a much better side than the embarrassing shambles that we were that season ...so they don’t deserve to break the record and don’t think they will
