JimmyDCFC Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 Given we play one of the best and most on form teams in the country tomorrow, would you say it's only fair the players get a night off from booing and abuse should we lose horribly? There seemed to be an incredible amount of negativity after we lost to Man Utd in January despite playing relatively well, which almost certainly didn't help the fragile mental state the players were already in, tomorrow really needs to be pure support regardless of the display, the players will need confidence and support over the next few months and will not want to put in a decent display against Liverpool only to get ribbed for it anyway. The scousers will be vocal over in the corner, we need to match it regardless of the result. Up the Rams ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DenbyRam Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 I must have been at another game, because as far as I was concerned we never turned up at all against Man U. Waste of £40. I'm hoping tomorrow will be different. But we do need to get behind the players whatever. A thumping defeat could be terrible for confidence levels and some more important upcoming matches.

Millenniumram Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 A night off from booing?! That's not the Derby way, have you learnt nothing from this season, if all goes wrong- boo boo and boo some more! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't think we were that bad, particularly against a team that only had the FA Cup left to win (and did) so were fighting for every inch to win it. But yeah, agree with your sentiment, we have to support them whatever tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They seem relatively respectful - provided you're not a Utd fan - to events like this so I'd be surprised if they didn't respect it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inglorius Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 I seemed to hear the Sunderland fans booing their team off the park both at half and full time after they were beaten 3 nil at home by a pretty decent Everton side, why do people think it's just our fans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry wasnt insinuating that it was your opinion solely was just reflecting back on the numerous threads and posts about our fans booing, don't think it is a problem singular to Derby County Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Up the Rams ? why? why don't they show some skill levels relative to how good they re supposed to be at their jobs first. If I turned up to work and performed badly 8 days running I'd be out the door Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DerbyRevolution Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 and just working hard for 90 minutes won't wash either, working hard for a footballer should be a given. running around a bit is basically turning up to work, no one wants to but you have to.
