    FindernRam got a reaction from jono in Paul Warne   
    We all want to be entertained but we probably all have different definitions: I find the 50 yard defence splitting pass collected with one touch a thing of great beauty. Others detest the tactical naivety.
    But for any supporter I think it depends where you are in the league. If you want to avoid relegation any point will do, no matter how you get it. If you want promotion ditto. The points are the important thing.
    Only if you have nothing to play for do your priorities shift to being entertained.
    On Saturday grind out a 3 goal lead and then and only then start to party carefully---Man U Coventry!

    Just to put some facts in place here.
    Derby have a pass accuracy of 75% on a good day. That means we have a less than even chance of stringing 3 passes together. To get ten the odds are about 1 in 20 attempts. We average 200 passes a game so once a game we may get 10 passes completed. The odds against 50 is 1 in 2million.
    Even top teams say 90% accuracy will only achieve 10 passes about a third of the time.

    Hi Duracell, we have a pair of ideal seats for you, we picked the seats because we're close to friends on the opposite side of the aisle.
    We're stair 41, row kk, seats 398,399 immediately next to the aisle in the lower east in line with the edge of the centre circle on the south stand side of the half way line. Row kk is about 4 rows down from the entry stairs and the seats are on the right as you walk down to them.
    We could meet you at the bottom of stair 41 in the concourse or you can just let me know your seat numbers.

    What are the ads that really get to you in a bad way?
    Some starters:
    Gala Bingo during The Chase: Un-funny the first time dull after the 100th.
    EMR: ditto
    Make up ads quoting some wonder chemical: What is Hyloranic acid or peptide?
    Holiday ad showing empty beaches or pools

    Historically Derby are bad at handling end of season pressure so I'm not optimistic until either Bolton screw up or the final whistle blows on the last day.
    On the bright side we are top scorers in the league and have Mr Motivator as a manager so there is hope

    iirc we actually needed a just a draw to secure 6th, but it went so badly we finished 8th. What a club.

    My Catfish ate the second Pea I dropped in and he/she is never wrong. Then it ate the fish that ate the first  Pea. 
    So: We'll finish second then whoever finishes first will go into administration and get docked 10 points!

    The old saying goes: Pessimism is the triumph of experience over hope!
    The second one goes: Pessimist are rarely disappointed!
    I know both to be true but I am always an optimist.

    Legend has it Pep was washed up, going nowhere and set to be a footnote in the annals of football history until he adopted the dignified beard n bald looks which revived his team's confidence in him and propelled him to his current status.
    Those of us with a full head of hair can only weep.

    I noticed watching a lot of TV footy how many top teams have coaches/assistant coaches that are emulating the PW look of baldness with greying beards. Trying to emulate his tactical nous. The only thing they do wrong is not wearing a bobble hat. If they did that they'd win even more games!

    Yesterday was International Women's Day apparently. With no sense of irony Screwfix sent me the daily deal post: "20% off Women's Workware!".
    At least today I don't have to get my own breakfast.

    I'm not sure how good these stats actually are particularly xG
    One game I sat next to a guy who spent the match clicking his laptop. Half time he told me he was supplying stats to a company that sold it to bookies (and others..Google maybe?).
    Given that for a lot of the time he was head down not watching the match and several times I saw him mis-identify a Derby player. Who knows how he decided it was a shot not a pass or if it was a chance; or any other of the multitude of Stats we are drowned in these days!
    Only one stat is unarguable: Goals, and as the great man said "There's no such thing as a bad goal (if you score it)"
