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 Perhaps we could beat it ourselves after getting promotion. We know how to do it. You know you want it. Single figures has got to have history all over it. We would be legends in our own living room. When I look at the WBA and Fulham squads I do not see them that far away from our players individually except for about three players each. Brentford should have been promoted last year but did not make it. They have sold a couple of their best players. Sometimes down to fine margins really. There is nothing wrong with Fulham and WBA squads. Just their players are not quite as good, they lack experience and confidence at that level. They will lose some games only by one goal and it may well cost them their place in Premier League. You no longer need 40 points to stay up but 11 points will get you relegated.

Olton Ram Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 It's very difficult not to beat our record. It just takes two or three scrappy wins against fellow strugglers and a few draws and you're home and hosed. Any team that beats our record would have to be a complete basket case.

Abu Derby Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 I’m surprised that we got anywhere near 11 points to be honest with a side that would struggle in League 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimRam Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 Thank goodness for that goal scored by Kenny Miller otherwise we'd have had no wins in "that season". Now that would have been some record to beat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My mate went home and away that season except the Newcastle home game when he loaned me his season ticket as he couldn’t make it that night. He missed our only win !! I was right behind Kenny Millers strike (thought he was rubbish by the way) and it was in all the way. Still in shock over that season. Only Derby ...

Grumpy Git Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 If I remember correctly we scored the first goal of the Premiership season too when we went 1-0 up courtesy of Matty Oakley in the 5th minute v Portsmouth? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramos Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 17 hours ago, California Ram. said: 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. Huddersfield got 14 - somehow did the double over wolves in that season. If wolves had turned up they would have our record. Every year there are more teams who get less than 20. Still can’t see anyone getting less than 11.

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. There’s got to be a good marketing spin/slogan on shirts/flags to remember the loyalty of fans in that season. Sort of twist it around on the “worst team in history chant”... get your creative caps on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went travelling two days later, to darkest Africa, and then darkest South America. Didn’t really get much news back about the Rams. Needless to say, I was pretty shocked by the final tally.

Yani P Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 Jewell came in and at his press conference stated he was preparing the team for life back in the championship..that was in November..as motivational speeches go it was right up there..

RamNut Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 Eleven is abysmal. It’s almost unbelievable that any team could be that crap. i am right that we had 7 points when billy went, and Jewell only got four points? can’t see any of the bottom three being as poor as we were.
