California Ram. Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 Not that any Derby fan would ever tempt fate, but 6 games in (5 for Burnley) all the bottom 3 are currently on course to end lower than our famous 11 points. Could this be the season to lose that record ? No one else has really come close (Sunderland with both 15 and 19 are nearest). Big game for Fulham on Saturday (home to West Brom), but at this stage - at least there’s a chance. Bottom 2 are currently on course for 6.33 points this season and have helpfully already played each other once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G-Ram Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 Not going to happen. Were probably the only side in history to go up with a better team than we started the season with. Seth retired, lupoli was decent & didnt stay on, Barnes was injured & we signed big star names like Eddie Lewis. The wheels need to completey come off someones season for them to even get close. Ideally Fulham need to sack scott parker appoint someone incompetent. Maybe even sell mitrovic & replace him with stern john. I maintain if we stuck with Davies we'd have got more points. We'd have still finished bottom but he'd have done better than jewell. Also while we got battered most weeks there were the odd games we drew but were unlucky not to win. It took over 100 years to equal the FA cup final defeat scoreline & it'll probably take the same if not longer to come close to that record. I hope it doesn't but i can't see it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millenniumram Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 Absolutely no chance, no one can possibly be as bad as we were back then. It’ll never be beaten. I’d be more concerned we’re gonna struggle to get more than 11 points in the championship this season!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
24Charlie Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 I hope not. People will judge us as the worst team in history but no-one will ever deny the quality and class of the Derby faithful. No club in the history of football has ever had to endure the ridicule week in and week out live on TV but we never wavered, we never faltered, we just went to watch the game-in record numbers.

Dimmu Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 Every record is an achievement itself, so I'd rather keep it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duracell Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 I think the most remarkable achievement of that season has been to convince many of us Derby fans that 11 points will be achieved again in our lifetime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taribo Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 “I’ll accept a 1-0 defeat today” was said by many Derby fans before every game that season. Just to keep a game to below a rugby score was a massive achievement that season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still remember the Newcastle game which we WON. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SKRam Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 And how close were we to doing the double over the bar codes? 2-2 up there not sure how close to full time they equalised, but that would have been the best stat ever. Four out of six and four of our eleven points means we were better than them that season......in my book Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then one day this particular git was having a go only to let slip he was a Newc. the bar erupted when I informed that if we had played them every week we'd be champions.
