Excellent proper fans' Club nonetheless. A hell of a lot of things went wrong for us that season... I just can’t see it happening again. And in a strange way it’s our record... forest fans take the piss but at least we were there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could easily have got another two points at Newcastle but for a Moore error.Both Bolton games too, Both Fulham games, Pompey at home, both Chelsea (disallowed goal) and Liverpool (foul on Mears) at home could’ve been very different. There were obviously major tonkings, but all in all, there were ten games we weren’t bad, Man City away too. I remember coming out of the Man City game thinking we’d held our own and we’d do alright that season. ** sad trombone ** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gee SCREAMER !! Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 3 hours ago, kevinhectoring said: The Blades on course to smash our record. I'm beginning to look for their result before anyone else in the PL. What are the chances? If they have 5 points at the 35 game mark I'll give it a chance. As they only lose by the odd goal the chances are they'll have a few wins by then . Even 3 wins and a couple of draws would be enough. Thats how pants we were for 4 and half months. Up till January we could easily have picked up another 10 points. We were miles better than Liverpool, Chelsea and Newcastle- away. Missed penalties in draws against Fulham and maybe Blackburn . No doubt we were clearly going down but we decided to go comatose and wilt completely with 15/ 16 games of the season left and that left this stain we can't shift.

I agree with him. That’s our record, no one can take it away from us. If someone did I’ll probably change my tune and say thank duck for that. But as that’s not very likely, I prefer to own that poo. like if you made the worst film in history, I guarantee that you’d get invited to more comic cons and things than if you’d just made a film that was a bit crap. It’s becomes a cult classic. That season is a cult classic and Claude Davis is a legend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good for you to for not taking it too seriously, I started supporting Derby after the relegation ironically but if we had a season like that in the Prem now I think I'd still be abit disgusted by it 10 years later. The more I'd go and see us pumped the madder I'd get until eventually relegation became guaranteed. Not worth getting that angry but I cant really help it, if we go down this season which I doubt but it could happen I'd be gutted. I'm glad I've not been able to go to games thus far in a way because Saturday afternoons aren't for getting fuming and then downbeat later on.

England Ram Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 To be fair I wouldn't want them to. They are a nice club who have tried to do things the right way and not throw millions at it and risk their future as a club. They are now financially secure and have a manager who comes across as a good bloke who is a supporter of the club. They have hard working players who give their all. We deserved that record not only for the mess on the pitch but because we had two managers who were not focused on the job in hand. Billy was too busy moaning on the Wembley pitch and that never went right after that, we invested in some of the worst buys in club history and then Jewell came in, in more than one videoed place, and brought in even more crap in January. When a club looks like beating our record when they are such a mess I'll happily give them the record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIMBAUD Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 There are very few sets of fans that I would wish that kind of experience upon. And the blades are not one of them. I thought Wilder should have won manager of the year last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tombo Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 They won't beat the record, and weirdly now we've put so much distance from that season, I don't know if I want the record beaten. It's iconic and part of our history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RamNut Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 I thinks it’s a disgraceful record that makes us a joke. if sheff United beat it I’ll be delighted. I don’t think they will though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparkle Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 Sheffield United have no real goal scorers for the premiership as well as the other teams now know how they play - WBA and Fulham may well be much worse come the end of the season but less than 11 points is highly unlikely but relegation is a definite probability Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mostyn6 Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 A lot depends on Sheff United’s strategy in January. Will they gamble and invest heavily in a goalscorer to protect their future PL profits? Or will they back themselves to yo-yo? Derby didn’t really gamble in January 2008, Jewell had a scattergun approach and signed 8 freebies, loans and mercenaries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramant62 Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 Cant see them beating our record to be honest. They will get a new manager bounce, and with poor teams like West Brom, Burnley and Fulham down there with them, I can see them getting the points needed unfortunately.

Dambuster Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 Be careful discussing such things, we are on 11 points at the moment. I think Sheffield Utd will be ok eventually but wouldn’t mind their manager if they make a change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheresOnlyWanChope Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 Watched their match against Leicester. They don’t look a terrible side. Think they will put a run together and stay up. Our record will probably never be beaten. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alty_Ram Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 Yeah, sadly, it's not going to happen. They are losing by the odd goal in games that they are otherwise competitive in. In that god-awful season we were just rubbish and constantly comprehensively outplayed. The only surprise and the only record that we didn't take I think, was the lack of heaviest ever PL defeat. I'm absolutely confident that the Blades will squeak a few wins to get past our total with some ease. Like the rest of you oddballs, somewhere deep down I am slightly proud somehow of what we as fans put up with and still came out smiling (grimacing) ! As someone who is surrounded by fans of more illustrious sides, it's still a talking point for me with in terms of endurance and loyalty ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FindernRam Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 From the title I thought you meant our chances this season. Now that would be a record to be proud of 2 relegations with 11 points each time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ram1964 Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 My claim to fame, had more points on my licence than Derby got all season.?would have gladly passed them on to DCFC at the time but Billy never returned my calls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
