cheron85 Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 Thanks Albert! Very thorough analysis but a little depressing cos I still had it in my head we were gonna finish 10th... Don't think there's anyone we have left to play that we can't turn over so I'd like to think we may be on the higher side of the charts you made... Still overall a very interesting post and a great analysis... Always good to be able to back up your thoughts with evidence... And yes, I have a lot of time on my hands at the moment which is why I was able to read the whole thing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albert Posted March 7, 2013 Author Share Posted March 7, 2013 I was immaturely doing what Albert did to my previous thread....your post was ridiculous. If you feel mine is as well, I'm more than happy to have a detailed discussion of why you feel that way and whether this thread really is ridiculous. I guess the first post is a bit over the top, but it is hopefully quite thorough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

curb Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 Unfortunately it doesnt describe how boring it is to watch a team managed by the idiot clough! It probably does, if you can be bothered to sit through it, much like watching the rams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CumbrianRam Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 Not the way I'd hope the season would go December, back then we had a good chance of the play-offs, now we'll be fine to stay up. I honestly don't think we'd make the play-offs but I thought we'd be closer to them than to the relegation zone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derbiean Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 With the performances we are putting out we will be fine no problems, to go to Cardiff away and to come back with a draw saying "we should have won" gives me encouragement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Teale Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 I guess the bigger point is we are now looking like we may not improve on last seasons league position and points total. Not when many point out we improve nearly year on year under clough. This summer we will be clearing out his signings like Tyson, theo, Davies etc. I guess we hope he can come up with better than they were Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TroyDyer Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 The reason I think this thread is ridiculous is based on my idea of what 'fine' is. I don't think that finishing around 19th in the table is 'fine'. I don't think tinkering with a winning team to take it to Brighton, and losing, is 'fine'. I don't think squeezing Hughes, Hendrick and an unfit Bryson into the midfield to face Forest, was 'fine'. But if people are happy with lower midtable mediocrity and cries of "we were unlucky" every sodding week, then fair enough. But I'm not, and I don't think most Derby fans are. And the fact that people insist we're playing good football, just goes to show how long it's been since we've witnessed good football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davenportram Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 I like maths and stats and they give good evidence to the argument that threads stating we are going down or in danger if going down are silly. the current form one had a statement we would be in the second relegation spot if our current form continued - yet a quick look ar the last eight form table shows that 3 teams below us picked up less points than us.

As things stand we have less than a 2% chance of finishing 19th or worse. As it stands we're still in the upper midtable and we'll finish in a decent enough position with improved home form. From where we are the key is getting the team playing better away from home, which should be achievable with a side that has gotten some experience this season as well as some key additions and potentially a crucial return.
