Dean (hick) Saunders Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 Surely looking at the gap to the edge of the relegation zone is more relevant at this stage than the total points goal. It’s now only a few. After (if I accept) you are level it’s just a shorter equivalent season and any shiiiite previously is just history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pearl Ram Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 First I was afraid, I was petrified, How did Lawrence keep his place In our side Then Wayne Rooney came along And said the bench is where you belong And we won, oh yes we won, We will survive, we will survive As long as Lawrence’s out the side Our hopes are half alive We will survive, we will survive We will survive.

kevinhectoring Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 7 hours ago, Finch said: With this crop of players NO. with this crop of players, YES We've got a strong squad. So far, this season has been a catalogue of errors. But now we have momentum. We are finding the right side and shape and seeing much more energy on the pitch. Not least because of our two Polish friends Forest, Rotherham and QPR in free fall and we're much stronger than Wycombe. Sleep well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derby blood Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 Yes I think we deffo have enough to survive. Think we will go on a run, and by end of jan early Feb, be out the bottom 6, never mind the bottom 3, we have to much quality to go down. Just need to get some confidence into the players, get a few scruffy wins behind us, then watch us go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marriot Ram99 Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 We will finish about 15th imo, comfortably away from the bottom 3 as long as Kazim stays fit. I think the striker position has been our problem that and a lack of a top center back with mobility to compliment Davies, if Kazim gets injured and we dont buy anyone then there's a chance we go down.

1967Ram Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 Yes we will stay up as long as we can start scoring more than one goal in a game. Our current average is only 0.5 goals a game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuitYourJibbaJivin Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 Get a striker in in January and we should start moving up the table. The players we have in this squad shouldn’t be in the bottom 3 but we’ve been rudderless over the last few months under cocu. Rooney is slowly starting to turn the tide, I’d still prefer somebody else to takeover long term but Wayne’s doing a decent job currently, if he is replaced he can certainly look at his short time as a manager as successful, wouldn’t hurt him to drop back into a player role, see the season out, get his qualifications and look for a managers position.

But after boro at least the slump was halted. Still think he’ll end up with the job though. Which we’ll regret later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRBee Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 Yes ... our players are good enough and Rooney has shown that a more attacking selection and game plan can give us a better points return than Cocu's sterile play. Jozwiak and Bielik showed real class yesterday and there is more to come from them and the rest of the team. Points deduction and more injuries could still ruin it for us though.

RamNut Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 We need a couple of centre backs, a left winger, and a striker - which sounds a lot. but 80% of the squad is fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew3000 Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 A powerful and experienced CB and another target man up front would give me more confidence. We also seem to lack a creative attacking flair player. Sibley will still have a purple patch at some point I hope and it will be interesting to see Ibe. A spell out might help Lawrence, as he showed goals and work rate last year. So yes, provided this window is a good un. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
europia Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 We could finish 16th -17th, but we need a decent striker in Jan. CKR is just a stop gap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BramcoteRam84 Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 Yes we will survive. There are at least three worst teams above us who are now being sucked into it. We get the mentality right we have plenty of ability to avoid relegation. Let’s face it even the pessimists were predicting we would be mid-table before a ball was kicked. I’ve seen much worse Derby teams than this one survive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
