They’re overrated and too many draws will cost you down the road. True statement, even though I don't like to see us lose. If we had 3 matches and drew all three=3 points. If we drew one, lost one and won one= 4 points. Or take our last three league matches, lost one and won two= 6 points Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaintRam Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 I don't know if it has been mentioned but its worth pointing out that the 2011-12 start 7 years ago, of winning our first 4 games, resulted in us finishing 12th. It's a decent start to this season, but lets not pretend it means anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RamNut Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 Its not meaningless. it is good for the new management team. Its not so good that expectations go through the roof. And its valuable points wherever we finish. Even after 5 games its nice to be ahead of forest and stoke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Day Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 Expectations appear to be fairly reserved so far, even in a topic highlighting the best start in 7 years many are playing it down. Yes we have a long way to go but as RamNut said it's not meaningless, far from it. With 2 defeats this is still our best start in 7 years is kind of mind boggling, these extra points early on could be the difference between play offs and automatics come May. I see it as a perfect start for Lampard, we're up there at the right end of the table, still in touch with the leaders, already experienced the highs and lows of Championship football, turned around back to back defeats into back to back wins whilst having a number of injuries including our captain and bedding in a number of new signings. Whilst I'm sure we would love to be flying like Leeds, with Lampard's lack of managerial experience he needs to go through the lows to figure out how to turn things around. It's been a very good start, really happy with how things are going and I'm sure by the end of the next month Frank's best 11 will start to make themselves known and we will see a more settled side.

Animal is a Ram Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 Injuries aside, the line up is starting to take shape. Players are understanding each other, building in confidence. This is what I was expecting so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeDerby Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 Best start in 7 years and we're only going to get better, much better. I don't believe things have clicked yet, not at all, the team has been all over the place, no consistency, when Lampard finds his best team and the players fully understand how we want to play, when Davies is back and we get a true CDM player back who loves to play football in Huddlestone, I think you'll see a much better Derby County. Our two next strikers haven't been introduced properly yet, we haven't seen the best from Wilson and Jozefzoon YET, when this team clicks we are going to be good, it needs time, give it a couple of months when we have a settled side and see how this team is performing then ?

EssendonRam Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 Not only is it a good start for us in the Championship, it's been a good start for us in the Premiership. Right now, Derby of 2007-8 would be in the dizzy heights of 18th with the point from Portsmouth and a GD of -5... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shuff264 Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 Since we were last relegated, we have never had more points after 6 games. This is joint with 11/12 when we also gained 12pts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bris Vegas Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 Didn't we win six of the first eight under Clough? We've got a good chance of matching that with Rotherham and Blackburn for the next two. The fixtures don't start to look too tricky until October when we play Sheff Utd, WBA and Boro in the space of a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BramcoteRam84 Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 This has been an excellent start. Last time it was this good was 11/12 under Nige the season after we nearly went down and it included the glorious 10 men victory at our beloved neighbours!! (Still my best day as a rams fan although I’ve seen much better successes) Thing with that team, you knew it was luck. It was never sustainable. With this team, we ain’t got going yet and there is so much talent in the squad. It’s a really exciting time to be a rams fan and it might be next season before it really clicks but we are heading in the right direction again.

Rampage Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 Frank has conclusively proven that he will pick any team that he wants. If you want to be in the team, do better. Only Anya, Butterfield and Thorne look like they may never make a league game outing. When did we last have so much genuine competition for places? ?
