My favourite two to start you off from Heroes and Villians forum. " Reached a new low when you concede a goal to a donkey like Weimann, is the worse Villa player I ever did see " " It says something when an overweight 73 year old Tom Huddlestone is schooling us in midfield " If hud is 73 how old is whelan ... 92?

WystonRam Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 The score certainly doesn't reflect the game, but they were a class above in every department. On my way home no disgrace losing to this lot they had a 25 a season goal scorer as an unused sub.they killed us in 10 mins and played the 2nd half in second gear We had a bad 8 minutes.they had about 8 internationals in their side.no need to panic derby and wolves are bonus games bit like playing man city in the prem if you get anything a bonus Read more: http://www.millwall.vitalfootball.co.uk/forum/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=126329&start=18#ixzz529s1JGPB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andicis Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 Looked around at other forums to see what teams thought of Derby that were around us in the league, a lot think we're favourites to get the second spot. Villa Talk ''Derby ones to worry about I think. They keep clean sheets, have a 20 goal striker in Vydra and plenty of experience. Think they're favourites for second way it's going.'' ''Derby bottle it every single year, so I wouldn’t be so sure, still a lot of points to play for! We just need to come out of December still in touch with second'' ''Derby are going to finish second now I think but I think until it's mathmatically impossible we still should put pressure on. But need to win today simple as that'' ''Anyone still wanna say rowetts over rated when I said what a great manager he is? We struggle to get a shot against millwall and 35 mins in derby three up. I'm backing them for second'' ''Wolves and derby will finish well clear now I think - decenber has killed us off - top 6 at best and only if we recruit well in January '' Wolves Forum ''Well finish top, they’ll come after us.'' ''Except they're not, we continue to move further away from them. I'd much rather they came up with us though than Cardiff, Brizzle or Villa.'' ''Yes - Rowett is doing well there. Hopefully they piss on the parade at Ashton Gate. Did I mention I $#@!ing hate that lot?'' ''Who? As one poster on their forum put: Lasting 15 games Wolves have more points Last 10 games Wolves have more points Last 5 games Wolves have more point. They aren't closing a gap on us, just the rest of the table.'' Bristol Forum ''Derby could be a tricky one,their home form is great.'' '' Wolves Derby Villa City Leeds Cardiff. Early doors I know someone Boro, Fulham might make a run 2nd half of the season. Sheff Utd might not fade away. That top six is how I see it ending so Villa in the semis looks on to me'' ''Still think Villa or Derby might finish second behind Wolves. '' ''Where have Derby come from though mind? They looked gash when they played us.'' ''I`m still hanging my hat on Derby`s recent history of bottling it in the last ten games. If they don`t this season they will go up IMO.'' ''it seems to have just clicked. Since our game they’ve only conceded 10, keeping a clean sheet in 9 games out of 16. 4 goals came in one game against Reading. When you look at there defence that is the stats you would be expecting. Definitely the in form team in the championship and if I was Baadiff I’d be extremely worried having 2 teams breathing down your neck. Especially when you lose away at Bolton'' I spent far too long looking at forums with poor interfaces, but I do find other fans without biases opinion on Derby. Quite surprised by how many thought we'd make it into the top 2. Still, an interesting read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RadioactiveWaste Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 To be fair to Bradly he is composed on the ball until he tries to kick it! Hes in the team as a warrior and he never disappoints on the front. I jest, and I do like Johnson for what he is and I do think he knows what he's trying to do most of the time even if his touch and passing aren't that accurate (opposite of so many Derby players of recent years who clearly have some ball skill and zero brains) - I was amazed for the third goal, impressed he got on it to pull it back, pleased he knew how to get it back across and amazed it was the once in a hundred that touch went to Nuge (that's not me having a dig, it's the getting on it and getting it back accross that deserves praise but it's not often you see those directly go in of the striker!)

jagerbob Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 I find it funny that not many Derby fans are talking about Bristol City, and on the bristol forums, they arent talking about Derby. Just about how they can see 2nd is in sight, and how Cardiff are dropping points here and there. I fully expect that situation to change on both sides as the games go by. Derby and Bristol have similar records over the last 16 games or so. We have won a few 3-0 recently and beat Villa 2-0, while they seem to win 2-1 every week. One things for sure, they havent lost an away game since September, same as ourselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadioactiveWaste Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 There seems to be some sort of assumption Bristol will fall back. A bit like the assumption from some fans that we'll blow it come Feb/march. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gritstone Ram Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 Rommys Report from twtd You can’t be that bad against a team as good as Derbys for an hour and expect anything from it. For 60 minutes, they’ve run rings around us. Absolutely torn us a new ars*hole. Where was the intensity to get into players like Huddlestones face. Where was the leadership in the middle to get into these c**ts? Instead we’ve let them dance around us and take the absolute piss out of us for most of the game before finally deciding to put a tackle in.

Gritstone Ram Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 Here is a good one... Derby are and were simply better than us, and a lack of real bite and strength in midfield (bar Connelly) meant it was tough for us. In Rowett they've finally got someone who can make use of their expensive players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WystonRam Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 More hillarity from the Birmingham forum... Remember there was some kind of ridiculous fashion to support either Celtic or Rangers back in the 80s? Fans would chant one or the other simultaneously? At blues we should start chanting our beloved clubs, I and probably 90% of fans could chant "City" while fans like Bat and other people who are obsessed with Derby could chant "County" and hopefully everyone is happy. Or as I suggested, start travelling up to Derbyshire on Saturdays and watch/support them. https://www.smallheathalliance.com/read.php?1,2390735 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
