No fancy stats from me, but my current thoughts on Derby are as follows. I think CKR is brilliant. I don’t think he’s better than Martin but he’s certainly raised the question in my mind. He certainly works harder, has a better attitude and is more physical. Bielik has looked less like Vieira this season but has been oh-so totally dominant that he, in a funny way, reminds me even more of him. He doesn’t pick passes or screen like George in his prime, but he’s different. George completely bosses midfields when he was given options. Krissy B is a human octopus, legs flailing everywhere, winning tackles and setting us off, driving us forward. He just pops up and wins the ball. I’m crap at judging wingers, I don’t know why, I just don’t get them, but I love Jozwiak. He can link the play, he can turn in tight situations as well as Hughesy could, can have drive us forward, he can skin a man and he has two feet. I think he’s proper class. I’m not even sure if this game will go ahead but, well, somebody’s gotta start the thread. I know @David couldn’t stand the sight in the designated Black Pudding thread but in case you missed it, here’s a treat I enjoyed when I went Rangers away the other year. You filthy creature, they need flushing not battering. Link to post Share on other sites

If, however, they are going to make it up as they go along (was understandable last season... but not this!), and someone... anyone... gets relegated, particularly this early in the season, I can see at least one club taking the EFL to court. They must have a plan... and the clubs must know what the likely scenarios are... SURELY? There is a plan. It's either 66% or 75% of games need to be played for the season to end on a PPG basis, otherwise the season is void. They've not managed to arrange a vote so far, presumably once we go past 66% of the season completed without a vote, 75% becomes the default. Mucker1884 1 Link to post Share on other sites

That was the plan when the season set off, in both PL and EFL. Seeing as we've got this far into a season without a decision made on which threshold is applicable, god knows what the outcome will be.

Seeing as we've got this far into a season without a decision made on which threshold is applicable, god knows what the outcome will be. Well, at least IF that was what was mooted, and the clubs were informed accordingly, (prior to the season starting), at least we know that we have until the 66% mark to get out of the bottom three (Real, or ppg). End the season before game 30, and all bets are off it seems. Season and standings cancelled. Let's hope that is indeed the case. To be fair, if we are still in the bottom 3 by that stage, it could be argued we have no one to blame but ourselves, if we are then "relegated on a technicality"! Link to post Share on other sites
