You are right but tell me you wouldn’t sell your soul (or insert appropriate asset) for survival in those games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep agreed but I am in the camp that needs to be convinced by performances wearing a shirt with ? on it. If they are carp then the last 2 games may be too late. Really exciting but I could without it. I have great doubts about Tom but I really want to see whether Wayne can weave some magic there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ram-Alf Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 57 points to play for, It's like chucking a Mills bomb in an Air raid Shelter with the pin still in, And people die in the crush and panic to get out. Start fretting come mid April if we're where we are now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBRammette Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 Lets hope today gives new players chance to integrate more and that there may a couple of gems in there. Also closer to Tom being back ready for selection hopefully and would love Ibe to make it back into contention. Think if we had swapped Cocu for Wayne permanently even 2-3 weeks earlier we would have more of a cushion now. With more of a cushion some of the nervous desperation yo win goes also. Just hope that faffing doesnt cost us in the end. Just why do we love Derby so much!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've also failed to mention sandwiched in there the abject results before Rooney was appointed from the Gang of 4 or how ever many of them hand their hand in it. Only serves to reinforce the proverb about too many (crap) cooks. The lack of decisive action from the current owner in getting rid of Cocu and then the hiatus before Rooney was appointed as sole manager may still come back to haunt us.

I am getting to an age where I am accepting timing on decisions is always going to be difficult. I’m not a great fan of Mel in general, appreciate the incredible financial support but worried where we are currently left. I am sure he really wanted cocu to be a successful and if he had given the gig to Wayne straight away, jeez what a risk to take. I was definitely in the get rid of cocu earlier than we did but as for the next manager, never very sure. Still dont know if it was the right decision with Wayne I think it is I hope it is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abu Derby Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 Who are the three teams who we need to finish below us at the end of the season? I think Wycombe will be one but not sure of the other two. If the EFL appeal leads to a points deduction we will go down in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In this environments would be amazed if it happened but that doesn’t stop it happening. The other 2? Well not sure what is going to turn brum around. After that? Wendy have so much trouble off the pitch I am astounded they have had an mini with revival sill there is still life in that corpse. Our season depends on the new guys and Tom. After that fine margins every point to play for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mckram Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 It’s amazing that before the Rotherham game there was a play off thread created, then a loss later and the relegation thread is back. One things for sure, come the end of the season we can’t say it’s been boring! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dordogne-Ram Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 Worryingly, the 8 teams now immediately above us in the table all collected at least 1 point. At least Brum, Wendies and Wycombe did not make it even worse..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
