You’ve not been to many games in the last 30 years I take it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might be my memory but my recollection of that season was that the fans were fantastic (the fans got player of the year?), and I actually only recall that chant after the final home game when we got beat 4-0 by fellow relegated team Reading? Is he talking rubbish, or is my memory fading badly? If Savage had half a brain, he would leave any reference to his involvement in that abysmal season just where it belongs. Buried in the archives.

Is he talking rubbish, or is my memory fading badly? It did turn a little toward the end of the season...and then it turned back somewhat in reaction to it. There was a particular match where we were beaten badly at PPS by another team in the relegation zone (but not the West Ham one; I woke up from a month-long coma on the Thursday before that Saturday game - we lost 5-0 to the side that were 19th before the game started - and the BBC commentator (who was himself sacked during the next week for remarking that the “Derby County Football Club” sign over the main entrance perhaps better reflected the manner in which we were playing since the ‘O’ in ‘County’ had fallen off earlier that day ?) kept noting that the crowd remained happy and supportive and still enjoying the Rams’ return to the Premier League. EDIT: Besides, the home fans at Pride Park won wide acclaim that season for the positivity in the face of the awful results. I seem to recall you guys even won some sort of ‘Fans of the Year’ award. Even worse than kissing your own sister, I suspect, but independent confirmation of the overwhelming viewpoint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My brain probably shut down during the season. You weren’t on your own @Paul71 there was at least 20 others wearing our colours in the ground week in week out who suffered the same. ??

BramcoteRam84 Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 I remember that season well. Sav’s memory is going! The fans were unbelievable that season! Sell out crowds, getting spanked at home regularly, not one boo half time or full time, incredibly supportive. We even won an award from Sky Sports! It was after the 4th goal in the 4-0 trouncing by reading last game of the season that it all turned. The end of that game is the most hostile I’ve ever known Pride Park. And rightly so, the fans made their point. The following season the fans were rubbish but then...we didn’t have a lot to shout about. If people think it’s bad at the moment, it was nothing compared to the Jewell era! Then before that we had the 3 amigos Gregory Phil Brown! Avoiding relegation was the genuine goal, we’re fighting for top 6! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I recall there was a planned lap of appreciation from the players for the end of that game, but I think we all thought we might just get some sort of performance against an also relegated team and we were totally pathetic that day.
