DesertRam Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 Hopefully we can get into the top 6, hold on and wait for the Jan transfer window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddie Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 What has supporting Forest got to do with saying for our massive outlay on transfer fees our league position is currently unacceptable. Seeing as you are very keen to highlight the cash that Derby have spent on the new acquisitions as the sole criterion for determining success or failure with respect to the current league position (you were suggesting that 10 points from 7 games is a woeful tally for £20m spent but changed tack suddenly when it was pointed out to you that half of that amount has only played in the last two games - and the resultant 6 points), don't you think that in fairness, you should take into account the fact that we are without players of comparable value owing to injuries?In my book, even if Hughes + Bryson + Thorne only equals £10m, then surely the paltry 4 points from 5 games must have been achieved for the grand total of £10m - £10m = £0, and therefore the only net outlay relative to players otherwise indisposed has been the £10m spent in the last fortnight, which has resulted in a 100% record since that point, unless I am mistaken.

uttoxram75 Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 People were the same about Bournemouth last season, everyone said a few injuries and they would collapse. I think they were just hoping they'd collapse because their manager is such a smug, slappable tw#t. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Animal is a Ram Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 Let's see what happens to Brighton when they lose - that's the test. They may well go and lose 5 on the bounce, or they could come straight back out and win 3 or 4 out of the 5. The table is in its infancy. Let's see what it's like after 12-15 games.Something marathon something something sprint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PrivateDerby Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 Could have gone the other way with a new manager coming in, that's what normally happens. Imagine winning the first 6 with PC in charge, getting excited, then dropping down...I put it down to Paul being no nonsense but calm enough not to panic and figure things out for himself. A steady match on match improvement and we'll be well on our way to a strong top two finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derbydave96 Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 Why worry about the table? We will try and win as many games as possible and that will put us somewhere come the business end of the season. I'm still confident of us being right up there, we've started picking up results in the last 2 without playing well, which is what the top teams do. With more confidence (which only comes from winning games) the attacking belief and fluency will come and performances will improve. I very much doubt that we could keep up great attacking flair all year, but keeping it tight and fighting, scrapping draws and wins when things aren't quite clicking sets you up well for the good runs.Also, say what you like about Brighton, but take it game by game and if they keep winning more games than anyone else, they get promoted and deservedly so.

B4ev6is Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 I think we go back top of the league again this season 9 points is not a lot at this stage of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashz09 Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 I enjoyed the free flow stuff but always felt we could concede at any moment but also score. This season I feel much more assured that we may not concede all game especially silly goals so to speak. It's a lot better for my heart rate that's for sure. The goals will come once we get the right balance and confidence up there. I think playing on the counter suits us hopefully our home form picks up as we're much better suited to playing away at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North_Stand_Ram Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 I'm not too worried at Brighton. I think they'll push for top 6, but I still think there's at least 5 better sides in the league Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ovis aries Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 When we have won our next three games we will have the same record as last season after ten games 10 5 4 1 19pts . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnigmaRam Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 Jeez, 7 games, 2 wins, 4 draws and 1 loss and we are doomed!! Get a grip, undefeated away, lots of injuries and bad luck with deflected goals. We aren't even firing yet and arguably deserved to get more from them 4 draws.

cheron85 Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 Should have beaten Charlton, should have beaten Birmingham, shouldn't have lost to Leeds... It's been a season of fine margins so far and personally I think with a bit more luck (and maybe accuracy) we could easily be 5 points better off...I find it reassuring that even though we haven't broken into full stride yet we're picking up points... Playing some (emphasis on some) good football AND we didn't get bullied by Boro again... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YouRams Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 Or from another perspective we are 4 points from auto's only lost once in the league and haven't got out of 2nd gear yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rynny Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 What has supporting Forest got to do with saying for our massive outlay on transfer fees our league position is currently unacceptable. So true, we should be winning every away game at least 3-0, and every home game 5-0. We have conceded too many and scored no where near enough. We have let other teams have far too much possession, we should be having 90% of the ball, the only time they should have the ball is from kick offs and that should be no more than 45 seconds. This is not good enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
