In my lifetime the only trophies I have seen us lift are the old division one trophy and play off winners trophy.

We have never lifted the league Cup and it is over 70 years since we lifted the FA Cup  (a competition that we have reached the final twice? in our 133 year history.

Couldn't even win the Anglo-Italian cup final

Nope, born 1979 so missed the glory days!

Off the top of my head, since I have been watching the Rams:-

Division 1 champions 

Play off winners 

Play off runners up x 2

League Cup semi final x 1

Anglo Italian Cup runners up

Think there have been 3 or 4 FA/League quarter finals 

As much as I would love to win a cup, the odds are massively stacked against us and we really should make the league a priority.

BOTH are a priority. The most important match is .... the next match. None of this weakened team business. No guarantees that even helps with league form. A hammering would dent confience. If Man U play a weak side and we play a strong side, we could really upset the odds and win this tie.

My memory is fading, I remember the Texaco Cup and the Watneys Cup but I can't differentiate them. I ran on the BBG pitch when we won one of them, the Watneys Cup?

Saw us at Wembley win the Charity Shield too.

As you say, happy days.

Didn't we beat Man U to win the Watney Cup. Now there's a 'grasping at straws' omen!

The watney was a pre-season tournament - 1970 I think. We beat Fulham then man u. 

Texaco I think was 72 or maybe 73 and I think was previously called the anglo-Scottish cup. Can't remember who qualified but recall us beating airdrieoneans in the final. The cup was held during the season . So we played 42 league games, plus league/fa cup PLUS these other things. And no international breaks!
