Bris Vegas Posted April 18, 2014 Author Share Posted April 18, 2014 Just looking at the league table last year, how bad was that? This Derby team would finish in the top two of that season easily. Hull got promoted on 79 points with a GD of +9. We'll beat both of those easily this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bris Vegas Posted April 18, 2014 Author Share Posted April 18, 2014 so it easy to say that. Not that simple Of course there were many factors involved... But I honestly believe that last season's Championship was one of the worst in a long time, the fact that all it took was 68 points to make the playoffs and 79 points for automatic promotion means there were no standout teams... A very average Cardiff City side walked it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronnieronalde Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 You all know I didn;'t and never will agree with the decision to get rid of NC. Brilliant achievment and congratulations to all involved. Really pleased for the players who've been able to put consistent winning runs together and now whatever happens, the season has been a real success. I hope it takes this squad all the way to the Premier League. Well Done to ALL at Derby County. The players, the management and the board, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A very average Cardiff City side walked it. But of those three who went up, Palace are comfortable, Hull safe and Cardiff have only screwed up because of their nutter owner. We have a professional setup and strong coaching team, so would have every chance. Let's seize the opportunity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cannable Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 that very average Cardiff City side that battered us every time we played them If it wasn't for a last minute goal line clearance and an incorrect offside decision we would have done the double over them last season.

We have a professional setup and strong coaching team, so would have every chance. Let's seize the opportunity. Palace were woeful, the only reason they've done fabulously well is because of the system Pulis has in place. They wouldn't have reached 25 points had Holloway stayed there. Cardiff were always likely to go down, they were poor under Mackay and only scraped together a few wins by virtue of set pieces and a few lucky long pops. Hull City under Steve Bruce always had a chance, but there is no denying they were poor last season and in Bruce's first year in charge I bet even he couldn't imagine going up automatically.

Shuff264 Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 I wouldnt mind QPR, they're prone to looking lost tactically and not putting the effort in where needed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rsmini Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 Well done to everyone at Derby County, now the work begins to get promoted..

rsmini Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 I'm helping to organise a car show on the 11th May as well, that would be the Sunday of the home game. I should be able to leave at 3 and just about make it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CumbrianRam Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 If it wasn't for a last minute goal line clearance and an incorrect offside decision we would have done the double over them last season. Also we had pretty much a second string team in the game at Cardiff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CumbrianRam Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 Don't really fear anyone below us in a two legged scenario, of course a team could get lucky in a one off game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
