Derbados Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 Not a million miles away, if we can find a long term solution for the defence and some quality cover in depth then who knows. If were sniffing around the top 6 in January and strengthen accordingly then anything can happen. I'm quietly excited Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cisse Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 McClaren will find a new Hyypiä from Netherlands and a new Wanchope from Planet 9 from outer space and we are there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NormantonRam Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 Not really, been distinctly underwhelmed by grant. Can think of at least five or six goals I'd have him at fault for this season. No improvement on ledgkins currently. Hoping he finds his feet as such and becomes a rock for us. If our defence finds some form and stops letting in soft goals I think we'll comfortably be too six by January! Grant stopped Fores**t from winning 4 or 5-0.

norram89 Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 McClaren will find a new Hyypiä from Netherlands and a new Wanchope from Planet 9 from outer space and we are there. Im picturing that the new dof and his network will find a new vieira and a new clichy in league 2 i france Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CumbrianRam Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 I'd be more concerned if were getting clean sheets and not scoring, some people are too focused a clean sheets, having firepower should be a priority as no team really defends that well in this league.

DesertRam Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 wins at Birmingham Sheff wednesday and Bournemouth along with a draw at QPR and we will be in the top 6, then we just have to stay there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alph Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 I'd be more concerned if were getting clean sheets and not scoring, some people are too focused a clean sheets, having firepower should be a priority as no team really defends that well in this league. I prefer it this way around too. It does pi55 me off though watching Forsyth get his telescope out to try and find the man he was supposed to be marking. There's conceding and then there's helping team score. Frustrating when the goals we concede are easily avoidable. __________ As for Grant... well people weren't happy with Bywater or Fielding or Legzdins or Jones or... I'm not entirely sure what standard of keeper we are hoping for here? Who are the good keepers in this division? I have to say I thought under Taylor (who was a fantastic servant to Derby!) each of our keepers became or were indecisive. Their shot stopping was fair but they were never consistently making good decisions. (Tbh if I was a manager I'd end up with someone like Valdes. Better footballer than some players but not the best goalkeeper. I've never really paid attention to keepers. I consider them unimportant in the grand scheme. Probably a bad attitude to have.

Leon the ram 2009 Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 If Bryson goes in Jan, probably not this season. Totally agree, he is our engine room Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smiffy Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 We have not got to do much more than at present to reach the playoff's, we would get 69 points carrying on as we are now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich3478 Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 Grant stopped Fores**t from winning 4 or 5-0. His job is to save shots and not let goals in? He played well against forest. Surely the ideal is he plays to that level each game rather than 1 in 10? Don't think he's been awful, but I expected more. Hearing he was burnleys player of the year over Charlie Austin raised my expectations massively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich3478 Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 wins at Birmingham Sheff wednesday and Bournemouth along with a draw at QPR and we will be in the top 6, then we just have to stay there. I've been dreaming of that for the next four games as well! Think we'll win the three mentioned its just qpr I'm struggling to be optimistic for! Might be a bridge too far for our young side Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronnieronalde Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 Now that Wisdom, Keogh, Buxton, Whitbread are in......praying to the football gods Barks come back, we could then even afford to let OB get fit down the road in sheffield) We're a John Brayford away from nailed on top 6. Make THAT happen and I might start to calm down on how much I want Sam Rush to get splashed by a bus going through a puddle every single sodding day of his goaty bearded life. That'd wipe the sneaky grin off his face and give him a valid reason to keep sucking for his breath through his own teeth half way through every sentence. Edited to add: Look at what we've got STILL to come back in, Hendrick is massive, Coutts, Russell, Barker. We've got a great squad already.
