Sean Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 Just had a look at our fixtures and for the optimists out there, seven of the next eight league games are against teams currently below us in the table. Reading (A) Wigan (A) Charlton (H) *Rooney eligible to play and January window opens* Barnsley (H) Crystal Palace (A) cup game - free hit Middlesbrough (A) Hull (H) - only team above us at the moment Luton (A) Stoke (H) There are of course no guarantees but with the window opening and a chance to refresh the squad, including injured players coming back and a favourable run of fixtures, it's a fantastic opportunity to put some results together and climb the table. After that, who knows? All I'm saying is that yesterday's result hurt, but I've seen a lot of Derby fans with itchy trigger fingers online. If we're still in a poor position come February, then maybe we worry, but I wouldn't panic just yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingsy1884 Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 Make or break really. This team has lacked effort and quality as of late really not a good mix when going into a relegation scrap. These teams will be desperate to stay in the division (apart from Stoke) and like Millwall will fight for it. This all comes down to hope. Its was kills you as a fan. We need some of our player back fit like Huddlestone, Bielik, Marriott, Clarke and Shinnie. I have no idea how far most of these players are away from playing but I really hope it is soon.

ViewsFromTheMiddle Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 4 away defeats without doubt, might get one or two draws at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. P Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 Only Wigan & Charlton are below us in the form table though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
europia Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 I'm looking at those fixtures and thinking we can get 12 points from a possible 24 if Rooney is fit and avoids injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given your chosen formation (which I agree with), I suppose the two new wingers can start from the bench. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yani P Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 We have played some poor teams already and looked as poor if not poorer than them so we need to get sorted and crack on.. These players need to earn their money and this manager needs to prove he is capable of delivering for our club.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
