Blind Predictions 17/18


Recommended Posts

This season hasn't even finished yet, there's been no opportunity for telling comments from Rowett after Rotherham, no cryptic tweets from players and no real transfer stories yet.

So there's no better time to make some completely blind, unfounded predictions about next season than right now!

Basically make a few predictions and we'll see who gets closest at the end of next season. Definitely playing the long game here.

Position Derby will finish:

Player of the season:

Young player of the season:

Top goalscorer:

Scapegoat of the season:

How many managers:

Biggest player to leave the club:

Most bizarre story to come from behind the scenes at the club:

What will happen to Nick Blackman:

Position Derby will finish: 5th.

Player of the season: The new CB that we (hopefully) bring in.

Young player of the season: Max Lowe or Timi-Max Elsnik if he breaks through.

Top goalscorer: Chris Martin (if he stays) but only just, with goals to be shared between Ince, Nugent, Vydra, Russell, etc. Sorry @toddy and @Ninos.

Scapegoat of the season: Keogh, obviously.

How many managers: One, I really think Mel has made the right choice this time.

Biggest player to leave the club: Possibly Tom Ince (I really, really hope not), maybe Chris Martin (again, I hope not), perhaps Richard Keogh but most likely Cyrus Christie.

Most bizarre story to come from behind the scenes at the club: Mel Morris taking the short haircut fad to extreme lengths and forcing every player to become an egg-head like him. If not, Jacob Butterfield sucking someone's toe again would suffice.

What will happen to Nick Blackman: Probably sold or loaned out to get him off the wage bill, although a part of me wants him to prove the scapegoaters very badly wrong.

Your unique prediction: Derby County to win promotion to the Premier League at Wembley, finally banishing the Bobby Zamora demons.

Scapegoat of the season: Vydra

How many managers: 1

What will happen to Nick Blackman: A confused Nick Blackman awakes on a Warm September morning to find he is stranded upon Mel Island with nothing but an injury table and a broken coconut shell to keep him company. The search for Nick Blackman follows to no avail. Derby reap the rewards of insurance payments. 

Your unique prediction: Gary Rowett signs  a flamboyantly named player who becomes a fan favourite.

Most bizarre story to come from behind the scenes at the club: It turns out that during a sesh, Mel and Sam decided to get ? tattoos, Sam had a change of heart after Mel had his done.

Your unique prediction: Mel will display the aforementioned ?  tattoo when he fist pumps club captain Baird receiving the play off final trophy at Wembley following a late Nugent winner following a mistake by Keogh, Villa's captain.

Position Derby will finish: 1st

Player of the season: George Thorne

Young player of the season: Timi-Max Elsnik

Top goalscorer: Chris 'The Wardrobe' Martin

Scapegoat of the season: Keogh, Russell and Butterfield jobshare

How many managers: 1

Biggest player to leave the club: Tom Ince, having scored 25 goals, secures a move to Barca where the fans adoringly dub him 'Mardino'

Most bizarre story to come from behind the scenes at the club: It is revealed that Ninos is, in fact, Toddy's illegitimate lovechild

What will happen to Nick Blackman: Gives up football and goes on to form the most successful Mariachi band in history

Your unique prediction: Rowett signs an unknown and unheralded German CB who goes on to achieve Igor-like status amongst the Rams faithful. Chris Martin notches 30 goals in the league firing us to the top of the Championship. Toddy spontaneously combusts as Martin notches his 3rd in the final game of the season, simultaneously relegating Forest to League One in the process. Fridgy suffers a breakdown and spends the rest of his days wandering Derby city centre asking random pedestrians where he can catch a bus to Kuwait.

If last year someone said Tammy Abraham would you have believed?  I've seen him play a fair bit and he's good very good ... and no one is going to push him off the ball he's fast and can finish. Just what the doctor ordered.

30 goals? Lol. You're in cloud cuckoo land. Unlikely that Martin will be playing for us and if he is he will be a bench player. GR has been clear in what he wants from his strikers and standing around and falling down isn't it. I'll bet you that Offrande Zanzala scores more goals for dcfc than Martin next season.
