Duracell Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 Just over 10 years since we came back down. And what we have to show for it is: 0 promotions 0 relegations 2 play-off finishes (could make it 3 this year) 1 League Cup run into the semi-finals 0 FA Cup runs Maybe this could be our year, which would be weird because it feels like we're rubbish for some reason. But even so, it's hard to view the past decade as anything more than us just fannying about. All those years of austerity, only to spend it on 0 promotions and 0 cup runs, resulting in us likely having to be thrifty again if we don't go up. What's the point of it? Can someone make me feel better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cannable Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 As well as Commons we sold Hulse for just £750,000 that same season Should have had £9,000,000 for the pair of them. Received just £1,050,000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duracell Posted April 12, 2018 Author Share Posted April 12, 2018 Incidentally, I voted for selling Will Hughes as the greatest disappointment. Talk about selling the family silver... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smyth_18 Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 A couple of things to clarify... 'keeping hold of Rob Hulse' - Is he still at the club, if so, surely he can offer more than Jerome? Also, the half eaten pack of werthers originals we got for Commons. Does this mean half of the werthers originals were already gone or all of them were still in the packet but each half eaten? Very important. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Took the first one out, I was really clutching at straws there. On the Commons question - we gave him the first half in contract negotiations.

Derbydave96 Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 Most disappointing was sacking Mac part 2 - I thought his re-appointment (maybe we should've gone for a different manager with a similar ethos), signalled the intention to try and salvage some of the positive things we had achieved up to that point and to really buy into a certain way of doing things. Clearly not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JuanFloEvraTheCocu'sNesta Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 Biggest single disappointment has to be the playoff final. I have never felt quite so gutted walking out of a football stadium as I did on that day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smyth_18 Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 The biggest disappointment for me is being a Derby fan. The biggest achievement is that somehow, no matter how bad it can be, we still have the upper hand on Forest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoetheRam Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 Play off final '14 has to be the biggest disappointment. Will hopefully never watch the highlights. Wasn't disappointed in the slightest when Hughes went. Had had about 3 good games in a year at that point, could have got more wedge if we'd got rid sooner. More disappointed we didn't replace him with anyone of quality/find an effective new way of playing without him. Biggest achievement might well be that we didn't get relegated in the first season back in the Championship but I voted finishing 3rd. We were so good to watch that year.

Mr Tibbs Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 Finishing 3rd in 13/14 for achievement, the PO final being the biggest disappointment. Having only been watching us for 15 years I've not seen many years like that. Blowing teams away, great goals, memorable games, the Play off semi's.. just so good. Came out of nothing and ended up being one of the most feared teams in the league. Youth products at the forefront. I enjoyed that season more than the one we actually got promoted in back in 07. I loved that away game at Watford early doors. Such a mentality change and it was brilliant. We're throwing another striker on? We're drawing away from home with 15 to go, we're used to seeing it out for a point. We're going to go for it? CONOR SAMMON! We did it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GenBr Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 Why can't I choose more than one. Giving Will Hughes away and sacking of McClaren both times are equally disappointing for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leicester Ram Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 Last few months of 14/15. The 13/14 campaign is the champagne of Derby County disappointments for a younger generation but actually in 14/15 it looked for a long time that we’d win the league. To have it all taken away by a weird concentration of injuries at DM and ST, lose our manager and then go on to lose all the good work done by Clough and then McClaren after that season really still kills me. 13/14 wasn’t the end of that era but 14/15 was and what hurts more is it was out of anyone’s control really.

Talk about selling the family silver... Yes, Will has had rave reviews from Watford fans despite taking a while to get in the side and a bad injury. Good luck to him, he stuck with Derby above and beyond the call of duty. My vote was actually for Jeff Hendrick as he was (is) a big favourite of mine. Again sorry to see him leave but pleased to see him establishing himself in the PL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
